Prominent film critics condemned the film for its graphic violence, nudity, obscene language, and lengthy depictions of gang rape which take up 30 minutes of the film's run-time, and the motion picture remains controversial to this day, even being considered to be one of the worst films ever made. The film was named in 2010 one of Time's Top 10 Ridiculously Violent Movies. Roger Ebert famously reviewed the film and claimed it to be the "worst film ever made" and a "vile bag of garbage". He gave it the rare score of 0 of 4 stars. Many nations, such as Ireland, Norway, Iceland, and West Germany, banned the film altogether, claiming that it "glorified violence against women".
