Ever since I was a little kid, I've heard this about big name stars - They made two (or even more) versions of the same scene. The US gets one version and a more explicit version is released "overseas." :mad:
But now I really believe this is an old wife's tale! :p
Yes, I know there is one famous example of Adrian Barbeau and the DVD of Swamp Thing.. <here> (http://www.vintage-erotica-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1234855&postcount=101) with an incorrect region code and a recall... but.. I think it was really a marketing deal...
I've heard about nude scenes that were released only in Europe,with Raquel Welch from "Mother, Jugs & Speed," the same for Maureen O'Hara in "The Quiet Man," a more explicit version of Kathleen Turner's famous scene in "Body Heat... and a nude scene with Elizabeth Montgomery from "The Legend of Lizzie Borden" --- but alas none of these scenes have surfaced on the internet..
Below is a quote about Maureen McCormick and a possible nude scene for "foreign-only release"...
To answer your query about possible nudity in a made-for-Tv movie from 1979: it's possible that the film was originally made as a low-budget theatrical feature but became--and was edited down to--a TV movie due to the costs of theatrical distribution and the low confidence the producers probably had for it as a theatrical release. Another possibility is that is was initially intended as a foreign-only release and only received a TV showing in the US. Before direct-to-video and cable channels making their own movies, that kind of thing was more common than you might think.
Have you heard the same thing?
Is it really true??
Can you prove it with real examples??
