a Question about the movie run time - anyone know please help??


I bought this movie from amazon UK a few weeks ago, from the cover i found its 18 rating certificate and 107 minutes runtime. But on the disc it self has 15 rating certificate and after viewed the movie, its run time was 104 minutes. Is it the cut version for rerating 15 instead of rating 18?. I'm affraid Amazon sent me the wrong version considering the dvd wasn't sealed. Anyone who know about it please help.. Thank you.

It looks like you've been misled. But if it's of any consolation to you: the running time of the tv airing I just watched (taped on video, so I was able to get an exact timing) was only 102 minutes (and 25 seconds). A matter of cut penises I presume, if you pardon the pun. ;)

It's now available on Amazon Instant Video here in the USA - and "free" for Prime members. I watched parts of it the other night and some of the more graphic sex has been edited WAY out. (Never any male frontal nudity in any version I've seen - but now even the wife's orgasms and passing out have been edited out. This makes the whole movie seem even less rational - as her strong addiction behavior/response to her lover is thusly minimized.)

The Amazon streaming version is actually just 95 minutes, so yes, there's been extensive trimming.

On the matter of 104 vs. 107 minutes...my understanding is that different formats of movies can have a small difference in run-times, European vs. American versions (more than anything else). 3 minutes difference in a 100-minute movie isn't far from what I've seen with other movies. Contrast that with the Amazon streaming version, which is 95 minutes, and that is some censored/cut stuff!

I have seen a video and DVD version of this movie and the run time In both was 107 minutes I think all of the sex scenes are In these versions. I would love to have an exchange of opinions on this movie with anyone who Is Interested as I feel there Is more to this movie than may appear on only one viewing.
