This movie however, probably deserved it.
They actually killed real animals while filming, including a giant snapping turtle. First they cut the head off, then they turn it over and hack the soft underbelly off exposing all the internal organs inside, yanking them out and playing with them. The head even continues to snap for a few seconds after they decapitate it. They also shoot a pig in the head, stab a little muskrat looking thing with a knife, cut a snake in half, squash a tarantula and cut the tiny face off a monkey with a machete.
Not really sure how they got away with killing so many animals just to make a movie. Apparently the creator was charged with obscenity but got off.
You might have seen this image floating around the net too. It comes from this film. (she's actually sitting on a bicycle seat and just has a chiunk of wood in her mouth to make it look like she is impaled)
Also was the first movie I've seen where they show a closeup of a penis being chopped off.

Bought an original DVD, so not banned here, however it was 3 years ago.
The movie is cruel, but not that horrible. You can notice many of the scenes are faked.
They didnt kill the animals for fun. Bear Grills does the same in Ultimate Survival.
