DVD Edits?

Just watched this for the first time since the 80s. After so long my recollection may be flawed but I think I recall three scenes clipped and missing from the dvd version. I might even be mixing this up with some other film(s) but fwiw:

One is Trini at the strip club. I thought she did at one point briefly dance topless. If this is correct she would have been 13 or 14 which would have been a problem for 21st century child-porn laws. (edit - Probably wrong on this one. I think I may be merging my Times Square recollection with the friend in Flashdance who went to work in the topless dive.)

Two is Tim Curry and Trini. I thought he made a more direct move on her which she rebuffed.

Three is Robin and Trini. I thought Nikki made a less direct move on Pam, which Pam again rebuffed.

Thinking about it the timing of the movie's release was off, just a couple of years too soon. MTV would have done for Times Square what it did for Flashdance. I just wish the producer had had some confidence in his film as more then an ad for the soundtrack album. Love the movie, then and now.

Robin was a wonder.

Thanks for that clarification. My memory of the movie actually was pretty good considering the length of time I last saw it, but apparently over the years I recut the film just slightly to more of what they should have included.
