It's amazing that in those days, an R rating was a death sentence for a movie. Nowadays it's the industry standard. I hope the MPAA does adopt the Soft R and Hard R ratings and retire the NC-17 rating.

WOW!! Rated R movies only at night.

@Jac2Mac You're right, I remember network television ie: NBC, ABC and CBS would take a movie that had been shown in the theater and overdub any hard or excessive profanity, I don't think it holds true today. Like I said, even FX leaves a lot of the profanity and some adult situatiions in rather than edit them out. I saw "Me, Myself & Irene" with Jim Carrey on FX and they did little to ease up on the profanity. Even Family Guy, which I like, FOX lets most of the profanity in.

@beatleman69 But back in the early 80's HBO and Cinemax as well as Showtime would never show R rated movies during the day hours at all and instead only played lame G or PG rated films during the day hours.

It nothing today so see an R rated movie on a premium movie channel today during the day hours. Even the channel FX lets some crude scenes and language stay in. I remember back in the late 70s and into the 80s they would either censor or overdub a nicer word instead of leaving in the profanity, today, its not as common.

@cameron20101000 Not Betamax, just a very old VHS. Still, it's cool it still works 30 years later!
