although this scene was funny, did anyone notice that the title is really "100 girls id like to f uck" but they edited it? you can tell that it is not billy crystal's voice.

Yeah, the dub was really obvious. I'm used to watching the movie on TV, so it made sense to have been dubbed there, but I don't get why it's dubbed on the DVD.
Anyone see the film in theaters or on a cable channel that would allow the original(?) dialogue?
I bought the VHS when it was released way back in the 80's. It was dubbed too. I remember seeing this in the theater; I don't remember noticing a change when I saw it again on tape, so my conclusion is that they dubbed it before its theatrical release, so all versions should be dubbed at the "pork" line.
But I think it could be Crystal's voice... it's just one word. I've noticed other dubs from other movies in the past are the original actors' voices, but they just sound different because they're done later and in a different context.
as stated in the trivia section, it was dubbed PRIOR to theatrical release to avoid the dreaded R rating that the f word would have caused, as it was being used in a "sexual context".
What's infuriating about the dubbed line is that, just a few minutes later, when Crystal's character is at his typewriter, struggling for a line, he blurts out, "F--- it!" and it ISN'T dubbed. Why the hypocrisy? Why is it that a film can have the "F word" uttered fifty times or more over the course of 90 minutes or so, and as long as it's used as an adjective or expletive, it's perfectly OK to leave it in; yet, use it once as a verb, and it has to be censored? Is it just because when it's used in "sexual context" (Ooh--sex is dirty, dirty, dirty!) that it's taboo? Personally, I find it much more offensive when it's used gratuitously and frequently, than when it's used as an expression for sex. (It's OK, I'm a grown-up, as are most of the people who would watch this movie). In fact, to me, the substitution of the word "pork" to indicate sex seems more vulgar than the original word used.
Probably if they had said one-too-many swear words the movie would have gotten an R-rating or even an NC-17 rating. Similar to how Planes Trains and Automobiles got an R-rating was because of the scene at the car rental booth, where Steve Martin says the F word one-too-many times (Edie McClurg also says the F word).

R rating, yes, but even if the NC-17 rating existed in 1987 (it didn't) there's no way this film would have gotten that rating just for a couple of f-bombs.
