So, were the movies edited, or what?


I know they showed a lot of late night Skinemax type stuff? Were the films heavily edited to remove the nudity, or was it all there?

Massively edited. Not a single boob to be found. I remember they showed Bikini Carwash Company or something and during a scene where the guy is looking at the women through a peep hole in the shower, they kept going back to a disturbing image of this guy's eye through the peep hole.

In the original version, this was probably two seconds in the film. But in the Up All Night version, it was shown for about five minutes. It was a way to not show the nudity, obviously. But if they cut out all the nudity the film would be about 20 minutes. So they showed this guy's eye instead and ran the sound from the shower scene.

They were horrible. And who would watch that crap today when you can get uncensored hardcore from the internet for free? Not even Robbase would watch it because hes too busy spamming useless petitions on the internet.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I remember seeing some bikini movie (might have been Bikini Summer) and there was a scene where these girls were tossing a beach ball around and it was edited in such a way that the same shots kept repeating over and over and over. The footage was most certainly looped. I guess they were covering up some nudity there. Interesting.

It was edited and removed I hate to say it. That is what really sucks about that.

they were heavily edited but still somewhat fun to watch.. normally i'd just watch the horror stuff if they showed nightmare on elm st or something like that, but hey to a young horny kid even some of the edited softcore stuff could keep your interest, at least for a little while

but yeah those were the days when we'd watch scrambled cable just to see what we thought might be a nipple

but then again, i'm not so sure, lol - http://www.theslutsmovie.com

Even though they were heavily edited they were still fun to watch though like you said they were. I would watch USA UP ALL NIGHT for the variety of movies that they would show on the weekends there that is if I did not have any plans or after I arrived home from going out.

Yes those were the days and I miss those days too. Yeah I remember how the scramble system was and I like it better back then compared to how it is now.

They usually left the blood and gore in with the horror movies they would show.

The soft core movies were even funnier to watch since all the editing made a majority of them indecipherable.
