Sam Raimi defends horror movies against pompous politicians who haven't even seen his films. I think this was just before Evil Dead II was released.

mcgillianaire: Funny you should pose that question. I googled James ("Jamie") Bogle up and turns out he qualified as a barrister in 1991. You can look his profile up at 10 King's Bench Walk. Lost quite a bit of his hair but the side parting's still there. As Evil Dead was released on video in 1983, so the video above was broadcast in 1987. You can find another picture of Bogle from 1999 (BBC article) & another in a blog post from 2005. He's obviously had a fairly successful legal career, but what an arse!

Michael Ballif: I almost couldn't finish watching this. The level of disrespect for such a genuine, and inspiring person is appalling.

sparkkle2: Could that Jamie Bogle dude look more like a fuckin' villain? And good on Sam for keeping it civil during this barrage. Gotdamn, that guy is chill as hell.

MondoPrime: Jamie Bogle is a complete tosser.

Michael Shipley: The British people like all other people are good people. Its govt and well funded special interest groups that are the cause of censorship and the nanny state.

xurxo g. penalta: were are these people now? i dont know, but i sure know were sam raimi is... hard at work on massive film projects, mainstream blockbusters and horror productions as well as in most movie history books.

Lavy Khurana: i wanna kick that women ass i think they called all the people all of them n they planned to hassle him bloody assholes

Lavy Khurana: sam is a gentleman

MovieMoan: I apologize on behalf of my country.

Max Marriott: I'm glad I wasn't around in the 80s. This video more or less epitomises the stupidity and ignorance of the video nasties era.

efcdom1878: @leothelion19 Made me laugh that. "So, horror movies are terrible, join us on friday for some lovely horror movies. Byye". Dickheads

efcdom1878: I'm going to find Jamie Bogle and force him to watch A Serbian film. The pompous, fascist little bellend. Sam Raimi was treated despicably here.

SockMonkey007: I don't understand why she calls it "violence against women." Surely its violence against everything. Everyone gets attacked in that film. Are women supposed to just survive a horror movie unscathed?

JudgeDoom500: To show that these morons doesn't have any effect on him. I think it's awesome he went on and released two more movies from the Evil Dead franchise after being heckled by these know nothing losers.

nigel101: why did sam raimi even bother to be on this program?

TheDeaditeSlayer: This video frustrates me to no end! It is true that things have changed so much, but movies like The Human Centipede 2, Grotesque, and A Serbian Film are still getting unfair treatment in Britain. I love how celebrated the Evil Dead trilogy is across the world now. Some of the best collectors of the trilogy live in the UK!

theholygoofable: Still wondering what Jimmy Carr was doing there? Sam's just one of those beautiful people - he didn't have to say anything in defence to his art if he didn't want to. I was just looking forward to Ash to come in & slay the nit-picking tossers (the idea of which, was probably spinning around in Raimis' head at the time?)!

senatikaijuandmore: If you saw the alternate ending to Army of Darkness, it ends with a destroyed Britain

leothelion19: WTF THEY JUST BROADCASTED OLD HAMMER HORROR MOVIES RIGHT AFTER HECKLEING SAM RAIMI FOR DOING THE SAME EXACT THING

shniggle99: All these people are heckling and hassling Sam to no end, not letting him say a goddamn thing and twisting all this words and insulting his films. Twenty years later, he's a gazillionaire. Sam's got the last laugh.

malt8291: Children of ten don`t go in and borrow them,lol that tickled me

xcoibyx: Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation. I thought the British were educated...
