 The first "R" rated version. This was first released in October of 1981   after it seemed unlikely that the film could make its money back in an X   rated form. This version ran for 105 minutes, featured many alternate   angles, and cut many scenes for the purpose of continuity and pacing. This   version was released on video, CED, and laserdisc in January of 1981, time   compressed to 101 minutes (and with an afterword in which Bob Guccione   encourages the viewer to return the R version and purchase the unrated   version via the postal service). This version has not been in release in the   United States since.
