porno?

I have the original movie trailer of Flesh Gordon on DVD and it includes a second where a woman is inserting a dildo into another woman. Yet in the original DVD release there isn't such scene to find. However I think that the US special edition DVD release might contain that scene. Either way is Flesh Gordon rated as adult material.

I have now seen this Region 2 DVD and found the Commentary to be anything but boreing, the story behind the making would make at least a very good book. surprising it hasent been done. I wonder if the x rated one will ever surface again on DVD.

The UK DVD I watched does contain a vaguely hardcore bit. During the first scene in Wang's throne room, a chap has clearly (though very briefly) risen to the occasion!

I can't anything definitive to this thread, other than:
1. I saw this movie three times in South Florida at the time of its release. At that time, in the greater Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, there were theaters that showed Hard R and Soft X and Hard X versions of the same movies. I had to sit through a Hard R and Soft X version before the full monty, as there had been quite a bit of buzz. Back in '74, there were a number of skin magazines that devoted a lot of ink to its release. I think even Playboy talked about the different versions.
2. As I recall, the completely hardcore version was not VERY hardcore. Only a few scenes, but they were not inserts of extraneous scenes or stand-ins, they were the same actors.

Ignore the trivia section, it's utter BS. Yes, this was originally released as a porno, albeit a pretty lame one by even early 70's standards (I'm certain they were aiming for a parody more than anything, so the hardcore stuff wasn't given priority). Much of the confusion comes from the fact that the "original, uncensored version" isn't actually the full version of the movie. It's still cut-down from the original X-rated release, and only serves to enhance the existing R version with whatever it could get away with that would still qualify for that rating nowadays.

So yeah, there's a lame X-rated version (I've got it, so don't bother trying to convince me it doesn't exist), two R-rated versions (original and restored), and even a PG-rated version (I kid you not, it was done many years ago for theaters to show on weekends to the midnight movie crowd, although it was such a bad editing job that I'm sure it wasn't done with permission, and I was seriously tempted to complain and ask for my money back).

But the most important bit of info I can give you is simply this: Don't bother looking for the X-rated version (which, if you find it, will either be on VHS or copied from one, so it won't look anywhere near as nice as the retail disc), just get the newer R-rated DVD. The differences are minor, and having the hilarious material in high quality easily beats having a crappy copy with a few godawful X scenes tossed-in. Hell, it's funnier without that stuff, to be honest, which only serves to distract from the humor.
