MONDO CANE:All the scenes you will see in this film are true. If they are shocking, it is only because there are many shocking things in this world... Filmed in every corner of the world, this landmark epic explores the culture of life and death, the anguish of man and beast, and the taboos of sex and religion, all amidst the barbarism of civilization gone insane. Sometimes beautiful, often horrifying yet always surprising, it remains one of the most disturbing and controversial films of our time. This is the original 'Shockumentary' that started it all. This is MONDO CANE. MONDO CANE 2:Two years after the international smash MONDO CANE became the most controversial documentary of its time, the filmmakers again ignited a firestorm of outrage and acclaim as they traveled the globe to film an all-new exploration of primitives, penitents and perversions in a world gone mad. From the burning monks of Saigon to the slave markets of the Sudan, from religious hysteria to ecological horrors, from sex and art to life and death, this is an odyssey of beauty and barbarism that goes far beyond anything moviegoers had ever seen before. This is MONDO CANE 2. WOMEN OF THE WORLD:The camera strips woman right down to her skin, proclaimed the ads, ...lays bare the secrets of her mind and body! Here is the female of the species as mothers, murderers, warriors and whores, respected as high-powered executives and objectified as bodacious bombshells, grasping for eternal beauty and even engaging in unnatural friendships. From love in the streets of Paris to death on the African plain, the MONDO masters turn their unflinching eye on all the things never before known - and never before shown - about WOMEN OF THE WORLD. Bonus features include: MONDO CANE Extras: Theatrical Trailers, TV Spot, Poster & Still Gallery, Benito Frattari's Location Stills, Lobby Promo, The Unofficial Mondo Phenomenon by David Flint, MONDO CANE 2 Extras:, Theatrical Trailers, TV Spot, Poster & Still Gallery , Theatrical Trailers, Poster & Still Gallery

Fine old movies for the true collector
Depending on your taste, these were very controversial when they came out and remain so today, even as dated as they are.

The world's first shockumentary.
Mondo Cane/Monde de Chien/Mundo do Cao/Perro Mundo/Dog's World, this exploitative doco got around. It was Perro Mundo when I saw it in Mexico City upon its release there. Like a super nova, it flared brightly then dissolved after the fuss subsided. What was outrageous at the time is hardly so nowadays. Mondo Cane 2 was made only because of the popularity of the first one and is hardly worth the effort. And avoid Women of the World completely. Famous for its theme music Di Piu/Plus/Mais/Mas/More.

One interesting movie out of three.
The best movie of the three is Good Bye Uncle Tom. It is an Italian production about slavery in the U.S. before the Civil War. There is a lot of nudity in the film. It is sometime funny and probably inaccurate as a historical piece. The other two movies I did not like.

Mondo Cane - EXPURGATED!
I don't know about 'Mondo Cane 2' and 'Women of the World' (neither of which I'd seen before), but the Mondo Cane movie in this set has been expurgated compared to the original Australian cinema release, which I *did* see in the cinema when first released.This version is not as shocking as the original, so hardly worth buying. And compared to 'Mondo Cane', 'Mondo Cane 2' and 'Women of the World' are relatively boring.Edit:Just to clarify my comments in the light of Robert Knox's comment, please note that I did explicitly state that this was expurgated compared to the original cinema release *in Australia*. The USA is a very prudish country, and apparently they got this very expurgated version rather than the full 108-minute original seen in enlightened parts of the world.Try a Google search for "eating monkey brains" "mondo cane" (with the quotes) and you'll see a number of mentions of this scene from the movie (apparently also repeated in "Faces of Death", which I haven't seen) - but it's not in this Amazon version, which is why I returned it.

Not very shocking at all.

Better to leave memories enjoyable.
I watched “Mondo Cane” in the ‘60s & loved the music “More,” as well the movie. I don’t remember it being so gory — I was disappointed. 60 years ago is a while — possibly I’ve changed?!
