What happens

Pure Shit (censored as Pure S) is a 1975 Australian drama film directed by Bert Deling. When the film premiered at Melbourne's Playbox in May 1976, the Vice Squad raided the theatre. It was initially banned, then given an R certificate, and the title was changed from Pure Shit to Pure S. The low-budget film provoked a hostile reaction from the mainstream media on its initial release. It is now considered an "underground" classic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
