More explicit sex scenes between joan chen and heche?


Is it true and the director's cut shows this???


I'm building a time machine so I can meet the 1983 Phobe Cates!

Not the version that I saw. I viewed the 111-minute cut and the bedroom scene lasted only about a minute, and cut in and out. I understand (from another post on this board) that the total length of that scene is at least seven minutes. If so, then which version of the movie has it?

I've got it on VHS and the bedroom sex scene is atleast 8 minutes. Its explicit, and theres no way a straight woman would do scenes like this. Its full on.

I just watched BOTH versions simultaneously on 2 TV screens (Yup ! I'm that big a fan ;) and the VHS version (the commercial cut, unapproved by director Cammell) clocks in at around 3 minutes, while the Director's cut version of that scene is slightly shorter and happens at a later time in the film (in the theatrical cut, the hot bed scene immediately follows the just-as-hot bathroom seduction scene).

Strangely enough (though that is a matter of personal preference), the bed scene in the theatrical version is actually HOTTER than in Cammell's director's cut ! (i.e. shots last longer, and OOh Ahhs moanings have been added, while in the director's cut, shot are shorter and are all intercut by annoying and "artsy" cuts-to-black).

Theatrical version uses the great Jon Hassell score over that scene, while Director's cut uses Ryuichi Sakamoto's (and no Ooh Ahhs ... ;)

That said, I overall preferred the Director's cut story wise ...

I 100% agree with you that the sex scene in the bed, and even the one in the bathroom, were both hotter in the released version, not the director's cut. In the bedroom scene the released version seems to have less cuts and seems more real.

The lesbian sex scene is only about 3 minutes long. The poster was either trolling or talking about the seduction scene in the dressing room before the sex scene as well. Combined length of these two scenes is about 8 minutes.
