both had even more bloody moments than what was in both movies. Cliffhanger has a workprint floating around showing the deleted footage but it is in shit quality. The deleted footage from Predator 2 has never been released. A shame

I think Total Recall (1990) once got an X-rating before having its violence cut down.

Wasn't the unrated version of Robocop given an X-rating before having the violence toned down to get an R-rating?

For some reason I can;t get out of this quotation bubble! The directors cut is the x rated cut apparently. |

Yep, Verhoeven had to trim some graphic violence before it could get released to theaters with an R rating, same as Total Recall. But at least with Robocop the deleted footage would be included in certain DVD/blu-ray releases. I don't think that has happened with Total Recall yet. |

I hope they find the x rated version of Total Recall. I think Total Recall as it stands today is one of the most violent and brutal movies I've ever seen, I wonder what they cut out. |

I know one part is where that midget girl stabs Richter's assistant and then drags the blade up his stomach. In the movie, you just see her stab him and then he's dead, but some stills show the knife up on his chest.  |

From Total Recall (1990) IMDB page:
Film was initially given an X-rating by the MPAA. The following are the scenes that were trimmed to receive a R-rating:
-Benny's death is optically cropped to remove the exiting drill erupting from his stomach.
-The innocent bystander used as a shield was bloodier before trimming.
-The stabbing of Helm in the bar had the bowie knife slicing up his stomach. Stills of this were actually featured in Fangoria magazine at the time of the film's release.
-Several shots of the scientists being killed by Quaid after he breaks free from the implant-machine were shortened.
-The scene of Richter's arms being severed was shortened.

Interesting. It must be round about its 30th anniversary, hopefully Verhoeven will do what he did with Robocop and release a director's cut. |

I read that originally the rabbit with the tracker attached in Cliffhanger gets shot, but the preview audience didn't like it so Stallone had it re-shot (at his own expense).

They really had to edit that sex scene between Gary Busey and the alien.
