I have confirmation Sadismo shares this scene with one found also in I Tabu n.2:
Very interesting indeed, and a fact that has remained unknown for more than 56 years until I share this with you all today I’m sure.
It is now safe to say, Sadismo is no longer lost!
good to know. the problem remains how and where to catch up with it. not to mention that it circulated in two different versions, one almost entirely focused on animal tortures and the other on human tortures (with many staged scenes, tough)
Please believe me when I tell you, Sadismo - at least in one form - has been found.
Work is commencing on it as I type.
Great news for all lovers of mondo movies!
Keep us updated! 
looking forward your news
@schramm You may be surprised to hear it, but the staged scenes of human torture were in fact always present - this can be confirmed both via the theatrical trailer, but is also documented within a report by The Humane Society of The United States that objected to the film.
Consider these a teaser, if you will, but here are some screenshots I’ve just taken of the films introductory titles as they played to prove I am legit:
Not much of an update for you all, really, but I enjoyed managing to find this set yesterday for a very good price.
This particular lobby card is worth you looking at:
As you may recognise that it is the same as used on the Japanese poster art for this earlier movie:
If I’m able to upload a short video from my phone this weekend, I’ll show you all the opening credits to Sadismo so you can see I’m legit.
"Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, heic, heif).”
Guess I must first upload the titles elsewhere!
Just so you can see I’m serious that it exists. Recorded it playing on my phone for you, kept it running into the staged torture scenes too to show you it’s correct. Voila!
Pay close attention to the image of the female handing a large snake shown in Sadismo’s lobby card set:

For this is also to be found in Its A Woman’s World (Shin Onna Onna Onna Monogatari):
Uploading: IMG_3582.png…This is a newspaper clipping, from within the first week of the films release, advertising The Rack, The Thumbscrew, and Iron Maiden torture device scenes we’re familiar with:
Confirming these scenes were always present, they weren’t added later on.
I can also confirm the name of the writer is actually “Philip Mark”, and not “Marx” as it’s often incorrectly given as. It appears to have been translated incorrectly, possibly due to the font type used, but you can see from my below screenshots that “Mark” is actually the correct spelling:
A TV Spot for Sadismo has surfaced.
and here’s the theatrical trailer uploaded 12 years ago:
