salo is basically the world today —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.205.150 (talk) 15:21, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Moved these data here as they add little to the article and are unlikely to be of much interest to readers of this version of the 'pedia:
I changed the second to last paragraph under "Versions," mainly the statement that the BFI version is superior. While it is a bit better than the Criterion (albeit the burnt-in subtitles), it is miles behind the vastly superior French version on Gaumont Columbia Tristar Home Video. Take a look at http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCompare/salo.htm and you will see what I mean. I also added this link to the "External Links" section.

Hi, I think there is an error in the plot. I saw the movie last week at a movie theater and I think the children were kidnapped from Marzabotto and taken to Salo. Marzabotto was the scene of a terrible massacre made by fascists, so in the fiction nobody would know about the children missing.

I looked up the actors under other sources and no source corroborates that Dana Carvey appears as the President in this film. This mistaken information has also made it onto the Dana Carvey bio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.188.230.235 (talk) 19:44, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
I can't believe anyone would even go so far as to check! Dana Carvey was 20 when Salo was shot, and clearly much too young to have played one of the libertines - even if Pasolini had been minded to cast a totally unknown US comedian as a middle-aged Italian. 86.139.73.152 (talk) 20:01, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Carvey did in fact play "The President", if you compare his picture to that of "our illustrious Presidenté", you will see that they are undoubtably the same person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.27.42 (talk) 21:58, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
The Dana Carvey claim is totally credible, it's completely supported by many reputable sources, including any of the many, many texts on this film. Gary Indiana mentioned it in his BFI monograph, as well as other numerous references to popular US culture. I also note that the person who insists on adding this fact has also been adding useful and relevant material, such as details of the contents of the new BFI DVD and Blu-ray editions, he is a credit to wikipedia. 212.161.31.33 (talk) 10:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
For the record, the comment immediately above this one (dated 15 September 2008) has been vandalised since its original appearance. If you assume that the first version said more or less the exact opposite of what it currently says, you'll be a lot closer to the truth! But since the vandal now implies that Gary Indiana DOES claim that Dana Carvey appeared in the film, perhaps he would care to cite an exact page reference? 86.139.73.152 (talk) 10:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the statements lacking inline citations to this page until sources can be found for them. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 05:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
This entry is written like a magazine article. "It is clear that..." ",however,..." "Moreover..." It needs to be pared down to an encyclopedia article. Also, it has numerous comma splices (look that up if you don't know what it is), so I don't know how it got the green check mark for grammar above. [Yes, I know I could fix it myself but I'm sick of spending an hour fixing up an article, just to have the original author get incensed that someone dared to modify "his" work. Then the reverts and endless arguments start. Sometimes it's easier to just point something out, and move along.] Tragic romance (talk) 17:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
In this movie you can see soldiers of DECIMA FLOTTIGLIA MAS committ rape and torture, there are no proof whatsoever that they did this in WWII, it's just propaganda. X-MAS soldiers did never rape people, and they especially didn't kill ITALIAN KIDS.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.32.97.204 (talk) 23:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
If someone wants to find out which one is true: This page says that the DVD is freely available in Germany, while de:Die 120 Tage von Sodom (Film) says it’s not. --Nomeata (talk) 21:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Underneath plot/synopsis, it said that the movie was parallel to Dante's inferno..."Anteinferno, circle of manias,circle of shit, and circle of blood."
Is this vandalism? I've already removed that part anyways. Just curious. --Fruit.Smoothie (talk) 22:30, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I edited the sentence, "A large group of artists, including Martin Scorsese and Alec Baldwin, and scholars signed a legal brief arguing the film's artistic merit; the case was dismissed on a technicality." The Constitution is NOT a technicality. As the ACLU newsletter source makes clear, the Judge dismissed the case because the police violated the store owners' right against unreasonable searches and seizures. In addition, I removed the passive voice in the clause following the semicolon. Sdeplonty (talk) 02:26, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
The top paragraph states that the victims in the film are executed one by one, but a later paragraph says that those that refuse to collaborate with the fascists are tortured and killed. Which is it? AndarielHalo (talk) 16:10, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
The article has this film listed as if it were banned in the US. I've seen this film readily available at several stores such as Best Buy and Fry's Electronics (at least in here Southern California), so where does information come from? --HiroProtagonist 16:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Without having seen the film myself (assuming I would possess the fortitude to do so) I am still left to wonder -- given the description provided -- if euphemisms such as "making love" are appropriate descriptions of deeds of a sexual nature presented. I'm suggesting an edit anyway, but can't do it myself without any first hand knowledge of the subject. It sounds anyway as if, "having sex", or probably even "rape", would be more appropriate in most if not all instances--67.54.192.52 (talk) 23:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
In Controversies section it says, ' the DVD was passed due to "the inclusion of 176 minutes of additional material which provided a context to the feature film."' Clearly that makes no sense as you can't include more material into a movie than the length of the movie. 176 must be wrong, but from the cited I couldn't see the source of the number. BashBrannigan (talk) 04:26, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm wondering how come the scenes depicting underage actors in sexual situation haven't been mentioned as a controversy. For example that boy with sperm on his mouth. More sources need to be added.83.7.164.33 (talk) 23:19, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
The production section seems unclear, like a sentence is missing in the middle. Probably "heretofore" should be replaced with an explanation? RSI was a puppet state of Germany, and Nazi used it to round up Jews and send them to the extermination camps. Prior to that Italian officials refused to implement the Final solution. Question - prior to what? To the creation of RSI? Then it should be mentioned. Thanks. Also, does it belong to the production section? 69.119.232.155 (talk) 03:00, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
The production section for this article is extremely underdeveloped and does not cite its sources. This section should be expanded greatly upon with much more information on the film's production added to it. I have added a couple pieces of information in it but it needs to be expanded a lot more than what it currently is at.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:23, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
Whoever expanded the production section did a terrible job. Not only is it poorly written and now needs to be rewritten, but a lot of it is unsourced. Hopefully this will be fixed.--Paleface Jack (talk) 19:39, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
This is more or less a reiteration of my previous post on this page but it still needs to be said. Almost everything in this article, with the exception of the production section, is near GA status content. However, the production section is so poorly written and undersourced that it completely negates all of the other well written content here and it seriously needs to be rewritten entirely so that it fits with rest of the article's carefully written content. Hopefully someone will come around and put the finishing touches to this article, which includes a complete rewrite and expansion of the production section, it seems to be a very interesting subject.--Paleface Jack (talk) 23:33, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Well thanks for the work DS. Unfortunately a lot of articles are like this. :(--Paleface Jack (talk) 00:26, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

I don't get it why is this film considered an arthouse instead of exploitation?there is any reason for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14C:85A3:420D:48F:3420:3B0C:12CC (talk) 06:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
the Duke, the Bishop, the Magistrate and the President
The character here designated as "President" is actually a Président of legal jurisprudence; in other words, a Magistrate. The two terms for Magistrate have been confused into two separate characters. The fourth Friend is the Banker or Financier, Durcet.
