So, would a Jess Franco film that has a French cut and a Spanish cut (like Oasis of the Zombies) be allowed (assuming one would be reviewing the former)?

That conversation has taken place…

I didn’t know there were different versions of Oasis. Which one did I watch, I wonder? Which one is better, I wonder? Why do I care, I wonder?

The most readily-available version is the French cut (I caught it on the Internet Archive, for instance). The Spanish Cut switches a few of the actors. Lina Romay shows up as one of the victims in the Spanish version, for example.

I think I got mine on one of those horror DVD collections. It’s been too many years between when I watched it and now. All I know for sure is that Franco’s name wasn’t listed as a director. I think it was A. M. Frank, but don’t hold me to that.
If they switch the actors, it might be interesting to compare the two versions.

And it was very interesting, at least reading your link. I most definitely saw the French version.
Thanks!

Long before the usual suspects like boring old Jésus Franco (who, last time I looked, was definitely Spanish) were churning out Z-grade schlock – in fact, an entire century ago – France was leading the world in B-movie madness with serials like “Fantômas” (prototype supervillain uses trained boa-constrictors, gloves made from human skin, and death by bell-ringing to do Very Bad Things just for jolly, and the nominal hero never does manage to defeat him), and the even loopier “Les Vampires”, which features breakdancing French ninjas, the death of Batgirl, and a villainous plan whereby an enormous cannon is secretly assembled in a hotel room and repeatedly fired out of the window without anybody noticing. The Surrealists loved it! And so should you.
