The original version got me into a lot of trouble on stage stage back on the days when I used to do stand up comedy. The film was banned over here but I saw it on a pirate video and I had a few minutes of material which was supposed to make the point that the film was basically saying "bad things will happen to you if you rape women" and pointing out that banning the film actually protected rapists. Unfortunately I used irony and took the position of a sexist pervert and talked about how it was good that this film was banned because banning it protected man's inalienable right to do whatever he liked to women, and a lot of people in the audience did not realise I was being ironic. They thought I was really saying that men should be allowed to rape women, and you can imagine the hostility I got from them!
