American Pie's Unrated Secret: Jason Biggs Spills

0:00On March 23rd, Jason Biggs recently opened up about the making of the first American pie movie and how its unrated DVD cut came about by accident. The team never planned for extra versions before DVDs were big. Instead, they shot multiple takes of key scenes, like the infamous pie moment just to pick the funniest one. They tested different setups for that scene, starting with Biggs on the countertop, which earned an NC-17 rating right away. A standing version against the counter also got slapped with NC-17. In the end, officials decided two thrusts into the pie, kept it at R rated, while three pushed it over the line. Biggs admitted he felt nervous on set, wondering if the bold humor would ruin his career. But after the first take, the crew's huge laughter sealed it for him. That reaction convinced everyone they were onto something fresh and hilarious. The low-budget film, made for $10 million, exploded at the box office with over $235 million worldwide.

Even years later, the movie's raw comedy still resonates, bringing back that wild Hollywood energy folks missed after cleaner family shows. Biggs and fans alike keep talking about what might come next for the franchise. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today.
