R-rated version?


I was reading the trivia section, and it says that the movie was originally gonna be released as an R-rated film, but it was edited down heavily to get a PG-13. It says that there are many points in the film where it's obvious that the actors' dialogue was dubbed to get rid of foul language. It makes me want to watch the movie again. I haven't seen it in a while. But for some reason, I recall one scene where Steve Buscemi says, "Get the hell out of here," and you can easily see, from the way his lips were moving, that he used the "f" word. It was almost like a TV edit. I guess the DVD was released before we had this explosion of PG-13 movies being released on DVD as "R" or unrated. I enjoyed the movie nonetheless, but that just shows how fearful they are nowadays to release movies with R-ratings. Just when does PG-13 automatically mean larger profits? The way I think of it, if the "American Pie" movies raked in so much money at the box office, that proves that the PG-13 is almost redundant. The "American Pie" movies' target audience was teens to young adults. Half its target audience is not even old enough to see R-rated movies without a parent or guardian! It would be cool if I can to see "Domestic Disturbance" in its uncensored format one of these days.

I do agree.It's weird thinking they did the TV edit thing on a DVD.
