Another movie butchered by the MPAA


It wouldn't help with the crappy script, but at least the movie would have been more consistent if the MPAA hadn't chopped it to pieces. From the trivia section:
The film was drastically reedited before it's release because of the MPAA's ratings board strict guidelines on graphic violence, language and nudity at that point in time. Which are noticeable due to the film's many jump cuts in handful of scenes specifically most of the attacks on the strippers by the unnamed killer for example. Ultimately it caused Twentieth Century-Fox to sell of the film to an independent distributor for a theatrical release.
