Alternative Versionen
The DVD release (and newer videotape releases) has 5 scenes cut out:
Eddie, as a waiter, masturbating inside a roast chicken before serving it to a complaining customer.
Eddie fighting with a gang that confronts him on the street.
Eddie seducing his former director Carolyn King only to anally rape her after she ruins his career by revealing his porn past.
Eddie fighting Richie in a martial arts parody after catching him with his girlfriend.
Eddie defending himself during an audition. Note that a disclaimer on the DVD's box cover warns that the film is "modified from original version".

Verbindungen
Followed by Raw Talent III (1988)

One thing that this film is known for in the original uncut version is it's "subliminal messages". During the sex scenes (and many others), a text message was flashed on the screen or 1 or 2 frames. This could range from "SEX" and "KILL" to "EAT" and "LAUGH".

I have never heard if this had any impact on the audience however. But even without this, the film is good and tracks the rise and fall of an actor that moves from Porn to Soap Opera. This may well be where some of the concepts for the more recent "Boogie Nights" may have come from. There are many similar sceens in these two movies.
