Reply to comment by Greedy-Creme-995 in What’s the point of avoiding an NC-17 rating these days? by TakeOffYourMask

I said it in a previous discussion a couple days ago, but the cuts were definitely microscopic. Martin Scorsese literally removed 5/12 of a seconds from Goodfellas for an R. That much.

Infinity Pool's NC-17 was for "some graphic violence and sexual content". The R? "Graphic violence, disturbing material, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and some language."

Further supporting this: The rating in Norway is an 18, the equivalent of an NC-17. And it's been rated as such for having "several strong depictions of drug abuse, sex, violence, and murder", with some of the murder depictions being "so close and grotesque" it rewards it an 18.

He removed 10 frames total, a second has 24, so 5/12.

For dumbasses, he removed right inbetween ⅓ and ¼ of a second.
