Alternate Versions for Poison Ivy

Also released on video in an unrated version which features more nudity and restores some scenes that were edited out of the original version.

In the unrated version, there is an additional scene (at about 30:30) after Ivy and Sylvie hitch a ride home from the tattoo parlor. Sylvie complains about her looks, and Ivy tells her she's "beautiful". They kiss, and Sylvie looks bothered.

A short encounter between Ivy and Sylvie's father is not included in the unrated version. In this scene, Ivy mentions she "likes fuzzy things", and that she is no longer intimidated by Sylvie's father.

The unrated version contains about thirty seconds of extra footage from Ivy's and Sylvie's father's first sexual encounter (after the party, after Sylvie's mother is asleep).
