    • Trivia
      The movie was originally released in Italy in a 119-minute version and immediately withdrawn when the directors were sued for plagiarism by writer Joseph Chamberlain Furnas. It was re-released in March 1972 in a re-cut 136-minute version under the title 'Zio Tom.'
    • Quotes

      Narrator: When commanded by Rome to no longer hold slaves, the Jesuits of the monastery of St. Inigoes in Maryland, instead of liberating their slaves, sold them.

    • Crazy credits
      'Questo film è un documentario. I fatti sono storicamente avvenuti ed i personaggi sono realmente esistiti.' Which translates to: 'This film is a documentary. The facts historically happened and the persons really existed.'
    • Alternate versions
      Before receiving a UK cinema certificate in 1973 the film was extensively cut by around 30 minutes by the BBFC with heavy edits to rape scenes, footage of sexual experiments, graphic violence, the fantasy murder sequence, and the opening scenes on the slave ship.

    Joel Silver's favorite film
    As expected I see most of the comments here (except one or two intelligent ppl) are from the usual mass of "limited thinkers" who immediately chastise the film 'racist garbage'. It's actually quite a brilliant film in many ways. Funny, irreverent, honest, completely crazy, and yes "trashy" but fun creative trashy. I'm not one would put down something like "Amistad" in favor of this. Amistad is a brilliant film too, there are many different forms of artistic filmmaking and storytelling, I recognize and appreciate most of it. I am not biased or racist or prejudice, just someone who can appreciate the many forms of filmmaking as an art-form.
