Underworld yanked from Blockbuster

I was just at my local BB and they were taking Underworld off the shelves. The girl there said that due to a porn scene on disc 2 they had to pull them. Anyone see the scene?

Blockbuster rents the UNRATED version of Caligula as well as many titles that could easily be considered softcore pornography.

I'm very skeptical of this.

Most in the DC area have both titles rated and unrated, not to mention about 1000 Shannon Tweed movies. It's not "special" by any means.

They must have read one of my post and realized that a Vampire wont be saved by freak'n CPR!!!! Nor would they ever need it since they are the freak'n UNDEAD!! Once this logic set in blockbuster was compelled to do the only just thing and start recalling them.

Good for them!

That's what I thought. I got it from Netflix so I wasn't sure..... Hmmm, makes me wonder what the hell they're doing. Just the thought of Beckinsale and porn fired me up

I'm new to the conversation, so someone bring me up to speed: does Blockbuster rent the UNRATED version of Caligula, or any other titles that can be easily considered softcore pornography?

Several BBs around here do. Just go into anyone of them and take a look at the New Release wall. It won't take you more than 2 minutes to find some softcore.

The unrated version of Caligula may not be wall to wall porn but the sex scenes are certainly not "soft-core". Full penetration and "money shots" abound.

Back on topic: I was in two different Blockbusters in San Diego last night (looking for NFL Street for my son) and they certainly had many copies for sale and rent.

Just curious... How old are you?

You would think that someone who remembers the Atari 2600 would remember Caligula, or at least be semi-aware of it.

I have personally never made it through the whole movie, not because it is soft porn, but because it is really BAD.

(he he, besides, I tend to lose interest in it after 20 minutes or so)

I have a $20 feeling that the DVD in question is actually Wonderland and not Underworld.

Unless you like a lot of shots of her leather clad booty.

You gotta be right. I read a review that states that the second disc of Wonderland is a 100 minute documentary on Holmes. There has to be a couple of shots of porn in there.
