The 5-hour version of the movie has some of the better dirty jokes from the book (at least in German-the English version is cleaned up somewhat), but there are a few choice phrases in the book that would indeed earn the movie an 'X' rating if it had those words.

You have to admit, they new how to party, but no wonder they often ended up with social diseases! :D Damn! :rotfl:

Not always systematically 'cleaned up', but apparently poorly understood in some cases: that joke about the cork and the violin string, for example. The translator seems to have heard 'Seite' rather than 'Saite', resulting in a mis-translation that loses the point of the joke. I wonder why he didn't just go to the book and figure it out from there.

I don't know either, but the joke that's told in the bunk about the bistro in Paris is completely rewritten for the English version, has nothing to do with the original and is a whole lot cleaner. I hated it.
