German label Ostalgica's recent Blu-ray release of Massimo Pupillo's BLOODY PIT OF HORROR contains--I believe for the first time ever--an alternate continental nude sequence.
The sequence starts at about 18m20s, where the models are changing into costumes for the photo shoot, and Femi Benussi and two other models are shown fully topless, at first as they undress, and then when Alfredo Rizzo walks in on them by surprise, as they cover themselves with their hands.
As you may know, BLOODY PIT has been released on disc in different countries umpteen times, but afaik, all other releases, including Severin's recent BD, contain only the clothed version of this scene. The Ostalgica BD allows you to watch the full length Italian cut (87m), in Italian with English subs, either with the sequence clothed or unclothed.
There are details and photo comparisons on this page here--pics are NOT SAFE FOR WORK. Two points are not correct in the details. The continental version is accessible from the main menu, when you hit PLAY; it's not in the EXTRAS as the page indicates. Also, the picture quality of the spicier footage looks like the same PQ as the rest of the film, not lesser quality as the page indicates.
The Ostalgica disc is available here at Amazon Germany. The back says "Region B" but when I put it in my Sony all region player, it played no problem with the player set to Region A.
