would the original have been so captivating w/o her spreading her legs?

Could you make anything out when she spread her legs or was it one of those it was hot because of what was left to the imagination things?

Wasn't the famous scene edited in theaters? I was too young to see it the theater when it came out, but I seem to remember seeing it on HBO later and being disappointed when she opened her legs and all I saw was a flesh colored blur.

Overall it would have been better.

People snubbed it as a skin flick/nasty movie because of that.
I know what Paul Verhoven was trying to do, but it would have been better remembered as a decent erotic thriller without the coochie.

EDIT: Ditto for Swordfish.

:thumbsdown: it was a porn. Plain and simple. If she didn't do all that stuff, it wouldn't have been as popular.

Not as memorable, but there were a lot of other adult scenes and twists and turns.
