Too bad they just couldn't release an unrated version theatrically.

Obviously they weren't going to do that. Showgirls is the highest grossing theatrical NC-17 film. Think about that for a second.

At least until my home movies hit theatres. I'm expecting that gross to help pay for all my legal bills.

Wouldn't even have to be a wide release. They could do a small release in a few hundred theaters. Would be great, but sadly wont happen.

Living in L.A., I've seen a few unrated and NC-17 movies theatrically at art houses and revival houses. Fun fact: Human Centipede 2 had to be cut down to receive an NC-17. Unfortunately, the rest of the country is still a bunch of sticks in the mud about ratings. So R it is.

Not that I doubt you, but what the fuck had to be CUT to get an NC-17? What was so extreme that the MPAA wouldn't even give it an NC-17? I always thought that was the final frontier, other than explicit hardcore shit.

The MPAA balked at the scene where Martin has barbed wire-entangled sex with the eponymous centipede. It's in the DVD version of the movie, though.

Top that, Evil Dead remake!

Hmm. Upon further investigation, A Serbian Film had to be cut to get an NC-17 in America too.

 

I guess if there's an NC-17 line to be crossed, those two films absolutely were the ones to do it.

I don't think anyone's happy that it's being cut. But in this country a major release can't sustain an NC17 rating because many theaters will not show it, so this was always going to have to go out with an R regardless. It's good to know that when it hits home video there will be an unrated version.

Well at least we know the Blu-Ray will have the real version of it...right?
