1.0 out of 5 stars No more censorship please, August 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Boy in the Plastic Bubble/The Harrad Experiment (DVD)

When I first viewed the film "Harrad Experiment" it was on VHS, the not censored version. This is kind of an underground film, typical of the 70s.

But beware, that version is cut. The film is most notoriously known for its nude scenes of actors now quite known (Don Johnson and Gregory Harrison, among others). That version contains absolutely NO nude scenes.

This review is from: The Boy in the Plastic Bubble/The Harrad Experiment (DVD)

I just purchased this DVD set and expected the original uncut version of the 1973 Harrad Experiment. It is not what you get. It is more like the R-rated version, 90 minutes long, and no frontal nudity. I have the original uncut version on VHS tape from Wizard Video and it is 95 minutes. About the only thing that was uncensored about this tape is the language.

This review is from: The Boy in the Plastic Bubble/The Harrad Experiment (DVD)

Disregard the guy who claims there is no nudity. He got an older version accidently as I did. I contacted Marengo via e-mail and they sent me the NEW UPDATED DVD. They told me that some OLDER units were still in the marketplace... and it was like herding cats to get them recalled. They gladly REPLACED my older version for free and told me they would do that for everyone who accidently gets an older verison. There IS nudity in the NEW version so beware!

I found the Boy in the Plastic Bubble to be a very good movie which I admit surprised me. It has that 70's feel... the look and music which took me back to a different era mentally which was fun... Travolta does a great job and it is interesting to see him at this very early stage in his career.

Harrad has always been a favorite film of mine and it was good to see someone bring it out in its original version. Reminded me of college... or the college I which I had gone to... Free love, goofy experiments in sexuality and the SELF-IMPORTANCE of ALL that NONSENSE... IT WAS so GROOVY to watch... yes people did hug trees...I GUESS... Wow how times have changed! Both prints are very good... and IF YOU want to go back in time this is great fun... I consider the DVD a bargain.
