Yep, and it's quite common. Virtually anything that's even
remotely steamy will have two versions, with the second version
being even steamier and called something like "extended edition",
"Unrated version", "European version", "Director's cut", and
assorted others.
I think the record is "Whore", with five different versions. My
catalog shows them as:
1) Whore (rated R)
2) Whore (rated NC-17)
3) Whore (unrated)
4) (Whore) If You Can't say the Name
5) Whore (Spanish subtitled)
From what I can determine, numbers 4 and 5 above are identical in
content to number 1. Number 4 merely has an alternate title on the
box, as there really are some people who have trouble saying the
word "whore" in public. As the name implies, number 5 just has
Spanish subtitles at the bottom of the screen. (little footnote
here - sometimes the Spanish subtitled version has all the wording
on the box, even the title, in Spanish. Thus "The Witches of
Eastwick" became "Las Brujas de Eastwick". I wonder if "Whore"
became "Puta"? I think I got the Spanish titles right. My Spanish
sucks rocks.)
