Directors will edit a film to tone down violence and sexuality to earn an R rating, sometimes sneaking the trimmed bits after the film has been rated (a big no-no). Which is why you see sometimes an 'unrated' or 'international' version of a popular film released on DVD.

If it's such a kiss of death, why does everyone want to get the unrated version? Sounds like it's another reason, probably something like you can't get an academy award if it's over an R rating. Oh wel...
