Is this The Uncut version or is it cut? Just curious. Thanks.Sincerely Frank R.Schoonover
shareI did not realize there were two versions. This is a commercial-free version of the original tv airing. This movie was never available on vhs or dvd.
Be kind. Don't Flame.
There are. Let me explain the differences.
The Uncut version has the guys dressed as a priest and 3 nuns doing the song The Vatican Rag and the scene where the guys blows out the candle by flatuating on it. Of course, there is the Jaye P.Morgan breast bearing incident uncensored but that scene happens to be in both the Uncut and Cut versions. The Cut version doesn't have those scenes described above. Of course, this is what I heard from various sources, including IOFFER, where there are quite a few copies of this film for sale on DVD.
By the way, I remember seeing this in 1984 on the WPIX Channel 11 Late Late Show. I stayed up until 3:00am to watch the film. I was 14 when that happened and it was Summer so I didn't have to go to school the next day.
My e-mail is [email protected] if you'd like to contact me. I would like to see this movie with those scenes described above. Thanks.Sincerely Frank R.Schoonover
First, the original airing had a running time of 89 minutes
Mine has a running time of 1 hour 29 minutes 15 seconds
Without rewatching the movie, I know there is a guy dressed as a priest who asks what Chuck thinks about reincarnation after death and then says (unbleeped in the film) "Beats the *hit out of me". It has the famous popsicle licking scene and a guy who moons on stage. I have no clue about an edited vs. an unedited version as I said before. I saw this film back in the 80's for the first time also and I remembered a lot of it when I saw it again. I would actually need to see the scenes that were supposedly cut, to tell you if they are in here or not.
Just being honest.
Again, this film was never sold as a dvd or vhs in stores. EVERY COPY is from video from a tv airing. I know that for a fact. Don't believe if anyone tells you it is a real dvd because that is crap.
If you want a copy, I'll sell you it for $5 and $2.95 shipping. Then perhaps you can tell me if it is edited or not.
Or we could trade for Gong Show episodes if you have any.
Either cut or not, it's a great film and I acquired it actually because Phil Hartman had a cameo in it when he was really young and I am a HUGE fan of his as well as Chuck.
Email me if you like.

Regarding what you said, I am not saying that I don't believe you. I am just sharing with you what I have learned from various sources regarding the film. The sources can also be wrong as well. The minute that I am done here, I wll send you the videos from YouTube.
I hope that the stuff that I send will be a help.Sincerely Frank R.Schoonover
