i heard deodato went to trial over the film, and thats ALL ive heard about it. anyone got any information over the trial?

[Romero&Juliet]

Nothing's ever really been clarified, as far as I know - Deodato went to trial over the fact that people thought the documentarians in Road To Hell weren't actually murdered.

i think he went to trial over the animal snuff but it was thrown out

he also went to court about one of the scenes of a dead tribe member and had to show how it was done

The special effects in the film were so realistic that director Ruggero Deodato reportedly had to go to court and prove that it was just make-up and fake blood and guts. The film caused some scandal in Italy at the time, and had trouble with the censorship board. There was a rumor that the performers had really been slain, so director Ruggero Deodato' had to take the actors with him to the set of an Italian TV show in order to prove that they hadn't been eaten alive.

Lol, the effects are great considering the budget and all. I'm probably the only person on the forums who actually liked the film. I was entertained all the way through...

I loved the film and gave it a very good review. Glad you like it as well.
