In the conservative period of martial law, not only was the showing of violent films illegal, it was also not legal to publicly show most classic films because their "excessive sexuality is not fit for the national situation" or because they were considered politically sensitive. This left most classic film lovers no place to turn.
在保守的戒嚴時代裡，不只這種暴力片的放映列入非法，大多數經典名作也多因「色情過度不符國情」，或政治敏感而無法公開放映，而使一般愛好電影的觀眾無緣一睹。
