Captain Scarlet Violence #2

Yes, this 1967 British show was meant to be "G" / "Family" rated.
-I can't believe they got away with this stuff!!!

In this scene, a Hot Resurrected Babe strangles some poor security guard to death... this upset me a great deal when I first saw it as a young-un... also affecting my future relationships with women...(sob!)

I'll just site here in the middle of this room with my back to those super powerful vice hands... and read my comic book.

Oh Archie, you never get a brea-AAUUAARGHH!!

Not engaged long enough to have strangled him. His neck was quickly broken. OMG, this is violent in the most EFFECTIVE way -- b/c it suggests violence (and shows its aftermath), but doesn't (need to) show it in progress. A classic dramatic technique from films. Good show. See, aguard MUST always be on his toes -- no lolling on t'job, mate, she'll slit you up a treat!

Yes...NEVER turn your back on an attractive woman with Handi-Grips!!!

Now that clip bears out what I have been saying to a few people on Utube about Capt Scarlet - it contained violence which would not be allowed today and was bloody frightening for kids when I watched it back in 1968-69! There is another ep. which shows a car mechanic being crushed in the car he is working on against a ceiling when Capt Black raises the ramp its on. You would have a job getting a 15 cert for a film with that in today...
