deleted nudity.


There has been mention that the sex scene with Tom's nudity has been deleted from the DVD release.

I just watched the DVD and everything of Tom's seemed to be intact, although it was just a brief glimpse for a split second. Does the VHS version contain a longer scene?



I don't patronize bunny rabbits!!

Nope. I saw it up the theatre and on VHS. They were exactly the same. You get the briefest glimpse of it. Supposedly if u pause it at EXACTLY the right time u get a good clear view:)

A few years back I was watching this on a pay cable station (HBO maybe) and had never seen the nude scene and it was in this version was surprised it was in there actually. It def showed both Tom and Leah full nude and all the bits and at least the long shots it was not body double. I am assuming this copy didn't get chopped like the dvd?

Conflicting statements i know... Boy am i weird

It's so been cut out, I remember this scene being longer!

I remember it being in HBO and had the VHS tape too... it's the same scene. I don't remember it... (ahem) being longer. That's either amazing control or just good acting, because had I seen her in da buff, I wouldn't have been "at ease", like he was! This and Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon were probably my 2 favorite 'skin-flicks' on Skinemax, back in the day as a teen.

Could this have been a full-screen pan-scan issue vs widescreen phenomenon?

I recall it was when he was getting undressed and at the bottom of the frame. Sometimes with pan and scan, you get an extra bit of vertical picture in the frame. If you note watching National Lampoon's vacation, the shower nudity is more in the pan and scan vs widescreen where her boobs are cut off. You only see her boobs in the widescreen the first time she jumps, but not later as she's washing off.

No, it didn't.

Haven't seen it in a long time but when I watched it back in the 80s on VHS, you could clearly see it. I was surprised he did that scene at the time.

reply

The story I heard was that Thompson was scripted to be naked but not Cruise, so he "volunteered" to make it fair for her. I think he just wanted Lea to see it.

reply

Nice of him. Thought it's kinda funny that he is just as topless as she is, but somehow that's not "naked" for a guy.

reply

I always thought it was a body double.

Shocking to Tom walkin around with his joint hangin out.
