[edit] Explicitness

While it very well may be true that the sex scenes are "unsimulated", the reality is that they aren't really explicit, you don't see anything that couldn't have been simulated if they had wanted to simulate it. 70.20.219.114 01:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

• The point wasn't to be explict. Melvin explained in an interview that they started off simulated, but that the actresses couldn't fake orgasms well, so they started filming the scenes unsimulated, so it would look better onscreen. (Ibaranoff24 09:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Criticism

If any article deserves a criticism section it is this one. Despite throwing acclaim at this film I find most people find it to be barely watchable. Not to mention that due to possible child porn content it was banned in some countries. It is not actually clear if Mario Van Peebles actually had sex with the woman or not from my understanding. Adding a criticism section to this is simply doing the film justice. There is a lot to be critical of and there is also a lot to report about the criticism of this film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.63.68.250 (talk) 04:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

• Mario did not actually have sex with the woman in the opening scene. The "response" section features some criticisms of the film. To turn the article into a negative diatribe against the film would violate Wikipedia's guidelines. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 03:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC))
