Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Scarface (1983)?
a.
When director
Brian De Palma
submitted the film to the MPAA they gave it an "X rating". He then made some cuts and resubmitted it a second time; again the film was given an "X rating" (one of the reasons apparently being that Octavio the clown was shot too many times). He yet again made some further cuts and submitted it a third time; yet again it was given an "X". De Palma refused to cut the film any further to qualify it for an R. He and producer
Martin Bregman
arranged a hearing with the MPAA. They brought in a panel of experts, including real narcotics officers, who stated that the film was an accurate portrayal of real life in the drug underworld and should be widely seen. This convinced the 20 members of the ratings board to give the third submitted cut of the film an "R rating" by a vote of 18-2. However De Palma surmised that if the third cut of the film was judged an "R" than the very first cut should have been an "R" as well. He asked the studio if he could release the first cut but was told that he couldnt. However since the Studio execs really didnt know the differences between the different cuts that had been submitted, De Palma released the first cut of the film to theaters anyway. It wasnt until the film had been released on videocassette months later that he confessed that he had released his first unedited and intended version of the film.
