Mrs. DoubtfiredirectorChris Columbusis setting the record straight about a possible NC-17 cut of his beloved film.

And then he would say, ‘Then let me play.’

As a result, he says, Williams came up with new versions and new lines in every take.

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.”
