Pornographic Films Reedited As Mainstream Releases
Prior to the advent of home video, a number of hardcore pornography films were released to mainstream cinemas. In most cases, scenes of penetration were either cut out or replaced with alternate shots. One exception to this was Deep Throat, which was released uncensored.
Examples of this type of hybrid release include Alice in Wonderland (1976) shot as X-rated but first released as an R-rated version. Afterwards, the uncut version was released. Café Flesh (1982) R-rated version of this science fiction porn film was released to mainstream cinemas. Stocks and Blondes (1984) originally available as Wanda Whips Wall Street., and Droid (1988), originally released as Cabaret Sin in 1987.
