People tell the story different ways. Here's one version:

"According to Ziehm's DVD audio commentary, the film was originally shot
using scenes of straight and gay hardcore pornography. These were cut after
Ziehm found himself in legal trouble: Producing pornography in Los Angeles
was legally viewed as pandering at that time. The X-rated footage was
surrendered to L. A. vice police. Although some explicit shots can be
briefly seen during the throne room orgy scenes, the "collector's edition"
video, labelled "the original, uncensored version", is no more explicit
than any of the earlier releases."
