To ask if Shirley Valentine Made Fucky?

25 replies

Cheeseandlobster · 31/12/2020 00:06

Another Shirley Valentine one. Not seen it for years but I always remember Costas telling her he didnt want to make fucky with her before they did exactly that. And then when she returns unexpectedly from the airport she hears him using the exact same line on another English tourist.

However this line was not in the film when it was shown this time. So does anyone else remember this line or am I reacalling it wrong?

Yes he does say that in the original (I have the DVD). I think its cut out for the TV versions.

ExtraOnions · 31/12/2020 00:10

I saw it on TV a few months ago and the line was still in

hansgrueber · 31/12/2020 00:11

I wondered about that too. The way the boat was rocking on a calm sea.......... .......

Depending what time of day it’s shown, they may dub ‘make fuck’ as ‘make love’. Which kind of ruins the moment when Jeanette and Duggie are disgusted.

Is it i don't try to make fuck with you? I do remember something along those lines. I must watch it again. It was my mums favourite movie although we never watched it together.

Yes that could be it too. Dp watched it with me this time and I told him the line before it came on. Except it didnt and I felt a bit daft. Glad I wasnt imagining it Smile

I thought this too! Didn't they cut out her boobs out too? I am sure you saw her boobs as I told my husband that the part where she gets topless was coming up, but then you just saw her back.

He says “ I don’t try to make fuck with you “

They deffo do tho !

lockedownloretta · 31/12/2020 00:41

They also cut the best line in the whole film which is where he is saying that her stretch marks are beautiful and she turns to the csmera sndcsays " don't men talk shit?"Grin

motheroreily · 31/12/2020 00:42

Yes and my other favourite line is "boat is boat. Fuck is fuck"

ursuslemonade · 31/12/2020 00:44

I've watched it last week and it was not there....wtf?

U2HasTheEdge · 31/12/2020 00:45

I was right! they did cut out her boobs too.

sandgrown · 31/12/2020 00:46

We worked with a guy who bought a fishing boat and we told him he should call it boat is boat as in the film .

Whatever channel I watched it on the other day there was no boat fucky or shit talking men.

I would rather channels put on films later than nip out lines.

user1473878824 · 31/12/2020 00:51

God I LOVED that film. And they definitely made fuck.

Absolutely agree!

Yeah, they did. He kissed her stretch marks.

OhWhyNot · 01/01/2021 13:26

It’s such a funny line and It’s a great film non of it should be cut

My favourite line It’s called the F plan!

Have nothing to do this afternoon going to watch it !

OhWhyNot · 01/01/2021 13:27

Thanks op Smile

sueelleker · 01/01/2021 14:23

They also cut out the scene where she's having a night out with her friends, and says "I always thought clitoris would be a nice name for a girl".

pigsDOfly · 01/01/2021 14:37

I haven't watched it recently.

I do wish they wouldn't cut lines out films like that as they're very often some of the best and funniest lines and it can really detract from a film.

It's not a family film it's aimed at adults. If some people aren't adult enough to cope with the odd sweary word, give a warning before hand or put it on when the grownups are watching and leave it intact.

I know they sometimes cut films to fit in with the tv schedules - that often results in whole scenes being cut so parts of the film make no sense - but cutting out 'rude' words is just being prissy and silly.

Thank you for sharing this. I was googling make fucky hence not finding it. I was starting to doubt myself even though for me it was the best part of the film

I saw it on tv originally and it definitely did say that.
Me and my mates used to laugh about it on holiday. Grin

SingleWontMingle · 01/01/2021 16:09

I can't abide not showing films in full. Her leaving the airport and going back to the bar to find Costa running the same "boat is boat, fuck is fuck" is a major plotline. So is the liberation of her jumping off a boat, topless, when only a week before she was cleaning the kitchen in a housecoat. If a film is post watershed, show it post watershed.
