Yes, they did make two versions (possibly three, if they made a version for European release, where nudity standards are less strict). This is becoming fairly common. I first noticed it with CARRIE, but as TV sales become a bigger and bigger chunk of a film's profits, the producers are more likely to make a version for TV that won't appear hacked up. There are other cases of multiple versions--CRIMES OF PASSION ran in the theaters with an R rating, but the cassette versions that I've seen have all been the unrated version (which was cut to make the R-rated version). CALIGULA had two versions, an R and an X. So did FLESH GORDON. Evelyn C. Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!ecl
