Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Adrienne Barbeau's topless scene was shot and intended for use solely in the European release and therefore not included in the American cut. "It was one of those things of just gratuitous breast-ness," director Wes Craven said on the DVD commentary. While the PG cut teases a brief profile shot, Craven believed the full scene was the absolute definition of gratuitous. "When it first came out on DVD through MGM they released the European cut in the States," DVD commentary moderator Sean Clark said. "Once it was discovered, they immediately recalled it." According to Clark, MGM contacted Barbeau to see if she would just sign off on the mistake, but she refused, citing the terms of her contract. See more »
