However, some movies have a more intimate sex scene than others, which means they may have to be cut from the final version of the film.
1. The movie 50 Shades of Grey was going to have a scene in which Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson filmed a tampon commercial
The movie 50 Shades of Grey was going to have a scene in which Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson shot a tampon commercial. In the scene, they were in bed with Jamie in his underwear, while Dakota was wearing a white robe. She said she didn’t want to be “naked on top of Jamie.”
The scene was cut because it was deemed too explicit for a PG-13 rating. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, director Sam Taylor-Johnson said, “It’s always been about her [Anastasia Steele] being uncomfortable with him as well.” The BDSM scenes in the film are not as easy to elaborate as in the case of escort services where the filming is more comfortable.
2. During the filming of an intimate sex scene with Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut
When it comes to sex scenes, there are few things worse than having your wig fall off. This was the case for Nicole Kidman while filming an intimate sex scene with Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut.
The pair were filming a particularly torrid moment when Kidman’s wig fell off, and it wasn’t just any wig: It was a wig made specifically for her character’s alter ego, an accomplished actress who has gone through a divorce and is now finally experiencing some sexual freedom.
The resulting moment had all the makings of a disaster: Nicole Kidman, who had been working hard on her character all day and looked amazing in her role as Dr. Harford’s wife Alice, suddenly found herself in a very vulnerable position: not only was she not wearing any clothes (a common occurrence on a movie set), but she was also not wearing any kind of head covering.
Luckily for all of us – including the crew members watching from behind the cameras – Tom Cruise took the whole situation quite well. He laughed at his co-star’s misfortune and carried on with his performance until they finished shooting their scene together (which ended up being cut from Eyes Wide Shut).
3. There is no nudity in ‘The Hunger Games’ trilogy
There is no nudity in the movie, but there is a deleted line from the first film that reveals Katniss’ fantasy with Peeta after he gives her bread on the harvest train.
“I’ve got a Hunger Games-sized hole in my stomach.”
4. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart filmed an extra racy version
You may remember that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart filmed an extra version of their make-out session for Breaking Dawn. However, the studio ended up editing out almost the entire scene for fear of an R-rating. The scene was filmed in a room with a mirror on the ceiling, which allowed Pattinson to look at himself while having sex with Stewart.
During filming, both Pattinson and Stewart wore only underwear and adopted positions that would normally require some sort of body double or CGI effects (such as when Edward makes Bella orgasm by biting her neck). Despite all the effort put into making the scene as realistic as possible, it wasn’t good enough by Hollywood standards: the studio decided they didn’t want people to see vampires having sex on screen. They removed almost all traces of this moment from the final film because they feared it would be too graphic, even though there was no penetration.
The only part that is left in is when Edward tells Bella “I love you,” but even that sounds like something completely different than what we see in the book; instead, it sounds more like he’s saying goodbye before leaving her for good.
5. A long kissing sequence between Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie Brokeback Mountain
A long kissing sequence between Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie Brokeback Mountain had to be cut from the film because it was too graphic.
The director did not want the movie to be rated R, so he had to cut certain scenes.
Conclusion
If you are a movie fan, you may have noticed that some scenes are cut. There are many reasons for this. Sometimes it’s due to time constraints, sometimes because the movie is already too long, or maybe because they don’t want to show anything explicit in a PG-13 movie.
However, whatever the reason, sometimes these deleted scenes still appear in DVD editions released later.
