Why Didn’t The Crying Game’s Big Reveal Show An Erect Penis?
Somebody said to me, ‘Look, no matter if [Dil was] a guy or a girl, if this guy was in love with you, why was his penis not erect?’ Of course the thing was, you wouldn’t be allowed an erect penis [on film]. You were allowed a penis, but not an erect penis. A lot of men will tell you, sadly, it isn’t always erect when it’s supposed to be [laughs], but anyway, that’s just a technicality. Most people were just shocked at the presence of the penis, not whether or not it was aroused.”
