Considering the fact that she objected to her partial nude scenes in Turkey Shoot (1982), I can't imagine she would've been very keen on doing more for Lifeforce.Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-80795961074809302592020-09-27T12:18:40.911-07:002020-09-27T12:18:40.911-07:00Wow.

It's fixes a lot of things that were deficient in the shorter U.S. Theatrical cut. It's still not perfect, but at least it provides more food for thought.

It looks perfectly natural and yet perfectly alien.<br /><br />The extended cut is the superior one for sure, btw.

Maybe I need to watch it again with an older and wiser brain. <br /><br />As for your question about the near non-existence of the same sex possibilities, it was the 1980s. 😏 John L.
