- Terrorists, Killers And Middle East Wackos
"Terrorists, Killers & Middle-East Wackos" also known as "Terrorists, Killers And Other Wackos" (UK Banned title) is a
shockumentary video from the makers ofBumfights . It includes footage of riots, suicides, executions and the televised suicide byBudd Dywer , in which he shot himself through the mouth. All the scenes in Terrorists, Killers And Middle-East Wackos are real scenes of death and suffering, unlikeFaces of Death , most of which had been faked and staged. The video was released in the US on the 21st June 2005, byBumfights . It was due to be released in the UK but was refused a certificate by theBBFC . The BBFC found that the film:comprises a compilation of uncontextualised clips showing real killings, executions, suicides, accidents, mutilation and torture (of both humans and animals) and other distressing images. The work presents no journalistic, educational or other justifying context for the images shown. Rather, the work presents a barrage of sensationalist clips, for what appears to be the underlying purpose of providing prurient entertainment.
and that it "invites the viewer to take sadistic pleasure in death" and therefore was not suitable for its release in the UK. They also raised concerns that the film may violate the
Obsence Publications Act . [http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/0/9532D0B2189E1BA180256F8F002E72F0?OpenDocument]Bumfights's Official website has removed the DVD.
