Decision of Films Censorship Board of Review

PURSUANT to section 82 of the Cinematograph Films Act 1976, Columbia Warner Distributors applied for a review of the film The Exterminator. Having viewed the film in Wellington on 17 July 1981, the Film Board of Review unanimously decided to refuse to approve the film for exhibition.

The film, a dramatic thriller, follows the actions of its hero John Eastland in his one-man battle against crime in New York City. The opening of the film set its tone. Eastland and other members of his unit have been captured by the Viet Cong in Vietnam. In an endeavour to elicit information from their captives the Viet Cong decapitate one of the Americans. Another American, Jefferson, succeeds in garotting one of his captors. Eastland and Jefferson escape. The decapitation and garotting are explicitly shown on screen.

Eastland’s campaign against crime in New York City is provoked by a gang attack on his friend Jefferson, whose neck is deliberately broken leaving him paralysed. Initially Eastland’s revenge is limited to the gang but he subsequently extends it to other criminal elements including a Mafia boss and the proprietor of a homosexual brothel. Eastland ultimately ends his friend’s life by switching off his hospital life support machine. Although his activities attract the attention of both the New York Police and the CIA, he evades death in a final shootout at the Brooklyn Naval Yard and, in the last scene is shown swimming to the shore of the East River.

The Exterminator is a good quality film, well produced, well photographed and reasonably well edited. Violence, however, is central to its theme and was the dominant effect of the film. Some but not all of the scenes in the film were explicit. Other acts of violence occurred offscreen but with no doubt left as to what had occurred. Violent acts included a decapitation; a garotting; a gang attack with knives and chains; the torturing of a young prostitute with a soldering iron; killing a guard dog with an electric knife, lowering a Mafia boss into a meat mincer; burning a brothel proprietor to death; a number of gunshot wounds.

Although any one of these events in isolation is no worse than a number of scenes of violence in other films which have been approved for exhibition in New Zealand, in this film such scenes are numerous and central to the film’s theme. The cumulative effect is a film of sustained violence. The moral justification for Eastland’s actions is, at best, dubious.

Having regard to the type of audience likely to view this film the Board considered that the variety of weaponry and the detailed portrayal of various methods of violence could well provide material for imitation in this country.

Having regard to the dominant effect of the film as a whole; its likely effect on the audience likely to view it; and the extent and degree to which the film depicted the violence, the Board determined that The Exterminator was likely to be injurious to the public good.
