That stripper movie with the girl from saved by the bell was NC-17 and it was in movie theatres...

Yep... actually there's two of 'em: one at Mockingbird Station (Central Expressway at Mockingbird) and another in Plano near Stonebriar Mall.

Yep... Showgirls was exhibited as an NC-17 film; while I usually like Paul Verhoeven's earlier work like Soldier of Orange, Starship Troopers and Robocop, I was not at all pleased with the abortion that was Showgirls. Almost killed Elizabeth Brinkley's movie career.

On a similar bent, Saturday Night Fever was originally exhibited as an "R"; it proved to be so popular that they came out with a "PG" version, with a few sex and violence scenes snipped out. By today's standards, it'd be a PG-13.
