7. Where could I find the original or reproduction
poster?
A: Your best bet is E-bay
. They always have reproduction posters for about $15.00 bucks. That's
where I got mine. The original is very hard to find. Every
once and a while it can be seen on E-Bay. It will cost you about
$50.00-$100.00+
8. Is it true the film originally had a X rating?
A: Yes. The MPAA (Motion Picture Association
Assholes) immediatly stamped the film with a X rating even before
seeing the film. Today in some countrys it is still banned, but most
are letting the film be re-released with a X type rating or censoring it
slightly.
Well, that's all of the questions I've heard lately in newsgroups, chat rooms, and what not. If you have a question that you want answered I'd be glad to give a shot at it. Thanks!
