Mr. Friedkin has alternately said that all of the footage he was ultimately forced to cut (over a series of 40 different edits, at a cost of $50,000, before the MPAA finally granted the film an R rating) involved graphic sexuality and wasnt connected to the murder investigation plot, and that the footage did provide some "twists and turns in the story" that were not present in the films final cut.
