la versione di cine34 di questo film non è semplicemente sforbiciata, è proprio ignominiosamente decespugliata di ben 25’. tra le scene mancanti, anche sequenze del tutto innocue e tutt’altro che efferate.

siamo nell’era in cui un dodicenne ha un serbian film human centipede 2 o youporn e bestgore a tiro di click, e ci si accanisce ancora a massacrare inoffensivi mondos di 60 anni fa trasmessi in seconda o terza fascia?! io davvero straboh.

Hello Mondo Maniacs!

I recently had a copy of this movie, but unfortunately I have now lost it.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction at all?

Two version are available (for both I tabù and I tabù n°2):

  • a cut HDwebrip from Mediasetplay (same master reported by schramm)
  • an uncut telecine

There are two versions in circulation for both?

Very good to hear. I would very much like to compare and contrast them both. I believe I have both of I Tabu on discs somewhere, possibly both versions of I Tabu n.2 also actually but I would prefer them readily to hand in a drive for comparison purposes between both versions so that I could write at length about their differences and similarities, cuts, additional footage, run times etc

If I remember correctly my TV version was titled as I Tabu No.2 - I Miti Del Mondo and ran for around 74-75 mins?

I then had a version without the “I Miti Del Mondo” title card addition that ran much closer to 1.38.42 if I remember rightly. Would that sound correct?

Dunno, I have to check.

@Baron_Mynd
the tv version of tabù 2 is ultracut (25’ missing). I have to check in my external HD but the telecine should be 100’ circa. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Thank you @schramm and @Frank_n_Furter, I appreciate that.

The reason for my interest is related to another mondo movie that, I believe, may have appropriated footage from this movie!

Needless to say, a rewatch is required in order to fully establish what may (or may not) have been. The hunt is on!

several mondos, especially the latest ones of massi/crisanti, recycled many scenes from both marcellini’s exploits. the most popular one is the yubitsume sketch /which is obviously hyperfake) featured on taboos 1

@Baron_Mynd today I’ve checked both marcellini’s telecines:

the first taboo’s telecine lasts 93’30"
taboo 2 has a rt of 98’40’’ circa

I wondered if perhaps Sadismo utilises the seaweed scene from I Tabu n.2.

I have ordered a new laptop, which should hopefully be with me later this week, so I will soon be able to watch both and compare and contrast to confirm for us.
