- Quotes
Sally Brown: [laughing, coming out of the Hole, with forced vivacity] Oh this fresh air is grand!
John: Now you must tell me your price.
Sally Brown: You fancy me, eh? Mmm.
John: [whispering in her ear] I'd like to make love in the Grecian way.
Sally Brown: You vulgar old rogue!
[pushes him]
Sally Brown: Away with you! All the crown's jewels couldn't buy that. Get out of my sight, you knave!
I can't say that I found it gory. There's maybe one scene that I can find that is notable for it's gore and that's the removal of one girls breast and cutting her in parts. The blood do spurt on Kinski's face but that's all I can say. Maybe it's the nudity that has been cut and the stage performances of the girl(s) who are walking around showing their naked butt. Further there's a bit of full frontal nudity and one girl is being stabbed in her nudies and then Jack is making love with her once she's been stabbed and is dying. But for a Jess Franco flick I found it low on part of nudity and gore because we all know that Franco wasn't afraid to add porn to his horror flicks.
I started watching it in English but the conversations were so laughable and stupid that I changed it in German language and the flick turns into a whole different thing. So be sure to see it in German!
The flick itself was notorious due the difficulties between Franco and Kinski. You can also spot Lina Romay (Franco's real wife).
