By the way, anyone thinking of buying the "Swamp Thing" DVD should make certain that Adrienne's bathing scene has been included. This dvd is somewhat infamous in that it was mistakenly released as PG even though it contains a very naked Adrienne Barbeau bathing in the swamp. There is also a party scene in the movie where a couple of girls take their tops off. These scenes were in the European theatrical release only. They were not shown in theaters or on video in the U.S. The limited number of copies of the dvd that were sold before the "PG" mistake was discovered and the dvd recalled back to MGM, are now quite collectable and rare.

Hard to find, impossible to rent. After a mother, a couple years back, raised a stink at Blockbuster for the nudity in the film (it is PG, but as it was made in 1981 and there was no PG-13 rating yet, basic nudity WAS ok), it was pulled from the entire chain. Ramifications reached all the way to MGM who discontinued the DVD. It is now out of print with no talk of being rereleased.

Here is the cover of the DVD with the bathing scene intact.

The DVD was re-released last year but I don't know if it contains the bathing scene or if it is the PG version.
