what's the difference?

Question

what's the difference between R-rated version versus Unrated version when it comes to dvd's?

Answer 1

"Unrated" means that the cut of the film was not submitted to the Motion Picture Association of America to get a rating. Usually this means a cut that has more violence and/or sex in it that might've gotten the movie a worse rating than its original version had it been given a rating.

The issue is that movies tend to make more money the tamer the rating is; NC-17 movies get very little promotion, and some theaters may not be willing to show them; A movie getting an R means that most the below-17 crowd won't be able to spend money getting tickets to the film. So the trend with some films (particularly horror films) has been to release a tamer version to theaters so more people will see it, then release an unrated cut on DVD for fans to get the full horror/violence/sex treatment (as well as provide added incentive for them to buy the DVD, as it will have material they haven't seen before).

Answer 2

For example, I purchased American Wedding (it's like american pie three) and it skipped the scene with the strippers when I chose the R-rated version. When I chose the Unrated version it showed the strippers scene. (I had that say question)

Answer 3

More swearing and or sex scenes. Something directors or producers think the ratings system would not have approved. It could also just be a scam to make you think you are buying forbidden fruit.

Answer 4

Well, it seems there are a few more curse words, more blood, more sexual stuff so they take a little out and call it R-rated. But other than that, I haven't realized anything different
