themajor Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You say you show uncut versions, but I recently viewed The Naked Prey 1966 Cornel Wilde, and found the film cut to ribbons i.e., the creative killing of the safari members..themajor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themajor Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks, I made a search for a thread but couldn't find one. I once saw the uncut version on TCM and therefore set up to copy it when I saw it scheduled. Just as the native women were about to deal with some of the safari members the scene abruptly switched to the start of Wilde's naked race. I don't know about others, but I don't care much for folks making decisions about what is appropriate for me to watch. Additionally, I too found the scene of the mud wrapped human shiskabob fascinatingly grisly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsmellofsuccess Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I watched this movie for the first time last night, and thought it was fantastic!! So, was this the unedited version aired yesterday? I've read that perhaps there's a missing scene from the Criterion DVD, and on IMDB several people have said that a previous airing of this film on TCM had some missing scenes. I'm more curious to know about the pan-and-scan sequences during the opening and closing credits. The rest of the film is in letterbox, but not during the very beginning and ending. Is this how it's presented on DVD? With all that said, The Naked Prey was extremely intense and amazing to watch. Great job by Cornel Wilde.

hamradio Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Some people experience a real life "Naked Prey" scenerio when they walk down the wrong Chicago or New York neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themajor Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes, that one was the uncut version that I had watched several times in the past, and I agree that the action is relentless and the tension keeps you glued to the screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
