I've watched movies where the tape ran out in the middle of a scene.

| js81 Member 87 Posts 6/06 | Not sure where else to ask this question, as it doesn't pertain to porn on DVD, and RAME is pretty much a haven for spammers now, but... I recently came upon an OLD mom and pop video store in my town that was selling their VHS inventory. Like many stores these days, they rent DVDs but still have an inventory of VHS tapes of all kinds that they are trying to unload. I'm not sure for how long they have been selling tapes, but they still had a moderately decent sampling of porn going back to the late eighties so far as I could tell. Anyhow, I picked up a handful of titles. I'm a collector, so when I got home I went through the tapes noting the years they were made, the stars, the distributor and the running times for inclusion on my "list" of porn. But, I was dismayed to notice that the running times were coming up a few minutes short of the times listed on IAFD. There was also one video, that I had seen once before, that was missing an entire sex scene. The tape was "Bad Girls 3" and the scene was between Tammi Ann and Melissa Monet. There was some pretty vigorous strap-on work in the original scene, but I could think of no real reason why they would cut this scene out. I can only assume this was editing that had to be done due to a lame local ordinance or some such. So, am I correct in assuming that different versions are prepared for the "mom and pop" video stores? [Link] |

| Offender Member 158 Posts 12/06 | When I got the tape I found out what it meant - it was edited down to softcore. All the penetration, money shots, footage of oral sex was carefully trimmed out. Needless to say I never bought another "cable edit" tape again. I too bought a bunch of those "4 movies on one tape" collections on VHS (and even a few on DVD) from a mail-order dealer. They're alright if you're just looking for cheap stuff, but I quit after buying a compilation with "Playing With Fire". I bought it because it the place advertised it as a Sunrise Adams movie, I had never seen any of her stuff and wanted to. But the bozos cut her scene out - in the version of the movie I have she doesn't appear at all. So now I only buy "official" releases. |

| Offender Member 158 Posts 12/06 | 1) Looking over the BBFC cuts list, I found it interesting that one movie had footage (pardon the pun) of a foot or part of a foot being stuck in a woman's vagina. I have at least one movie where this is done (I believe it is "Hollywood Spa" starring Serenity) and don't really understand how this would be considered violent. 2) Getting back to the "cable edit" thing, does anyone know if they just do careful editing of a hardcore movie, or do they shoot the scenes twice, once with hardcore content and once with softcore? I read a magazine article once that said (at least on one porn set) what they did was shoot the money shot, then cleaned the cum off the actress and then filmed the man pretending to cum inside her for a softcore edit. Seems to me it might be easier to just shoot additional scenes where you rearrange the performers so that nothing "hardcore" is showing. Course I've never actually done anything like that. |
