Video Recordings Act 1987

Decision of the Video Recordings Board of Review

1. The video recording, Penitentiary III, is the first review to
   come before the Video Recordings Board of Review (the
   board) since the Video Recordings Act 1987 (the Act) came
   into effect on 1 July 1987.

2. Pursuant to section 29 (1) (e) of the Act, Penitentiary III
   was classified as ‘Indecent’ by the Video Recordings Authority
   (the authority).

3. The distributor, Warner Home Video Ltd., has sought a
   review of the authority’s decision pursuant to section 36 of the
   Act.

4. The board, in accordance with section 38 of the Act, has re-
   examined the video. It was not considered necessary to seek
   consultation with other persons. It would however have
   invoked its powers under the Act and consulted either the
   authority or the distributor, had it considered it necessary to
   do so.

5. The video is an implausible story of a boxer, with
   considerable talent, who is wrongfully imprisoned when he
   batters to death an opponent through no fault of his own.

Such a theme provides a setting for a considerable number of
antisocial acts. The boxing scenes, although portrayed to look
like authentic fights, bear no relationship to the sport of
boxing: there are no rules and the prolonged excessively
violent fight scenes would not be permitted in a real boxing
match.

One of the main characters, a dwarf, is depicted in the first half
of the video as a deranged animal. He behaves in a sub-human
manner; his function being to terrify and torture those inmates
who do not comply with the demands of a psychotic prisoner
who controls the prison.

Although extreme violence dominates the video other
antisocial themes including cruelty, torture, corruption, misuse
of power and designation are also featured.

6. After viewing the video, the board agrees that:

(a) The video is technically competent. It was obviously not
a cheap video to produce in that the camera work, background
music, lighting and production are of an acceptable
commercial standard.

(b) The lengthy scenes of violence are brutal, unnecessary,
exploitive and gratuitous. Out of a total 88 minutes running
time half the video consisted of unrelieved violent scenes.

(c) The unrealism of the majority of scenes are of
