I only [previously] used the phrase NC-17 as a joke.
There could be no NC-17 version of the movie," he admits.
“The problem is, I don’t recall most of it.
I only know what’s in the movie at this point because it’s been a long time.
But I do remember it was outrageously funny material.”
He adds, “I think that that would be the best approach.
I’m very proud of the film…
I’m in a good place withMrs.
Doubtfire, so there’s really no reason to do the definitive cut.
The definitive cut ofMrs.
Doubtfireis out in the world right now.”
