Q

What are the differences between the R-Rated and Unrated Version?

A

There are two obvious major differences when comparing the R-Rated and Unrated. For one thing, the Unrated includes several scenes in which a furious ex-boyfriend declares Christina a lesbian. The second and main difference is the absence of the "Penis Song" in the R-Rated version. This scene accounts for two-thirds of the cutting time and was removed before the cinematic release in the USA, due to negative responses of the pre-release audience. Furthermore, a scene was cut out of the US cinematic version, which is featured on both the R-Rated and the Unrated DVD. It deals with Roger telling his brother Peter about prostitutes in Costa Rica. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
