Half XXX-rated porno and half heist film, The Jade Pussycat follows a man named Johnny Wadd who is searching for the priceless, titular art piece. , Paul Thomas Anderson had the entire cast of Boogie Nights watch The Jade Pussycat before filming the famous Mark Wahlberg porn industry film.
In 1972, Deep Throat became the first pornographic film to exploit the MPAA by branding itself “X-rated,” thus beginning porn’s slow-but-sure takeover of the X. It’s that same takeover that eventually birthed the NC-17 rating. So there’s something sort of ironic about the fact that a documentary on how Deep Throat affected American society would be given an NC-17 rating (largely due to the inclusion of clips from the original film).
