I remember seeing the "unedited" version when it came out in '73 at the local drive-in. After that, NBC did a one hour special with John Belushi with a heavy edit and by the time the film got to video, most was restored except certain scenes such as the kidnapping, Seatopian agent crushed by rock and the nude photos behind the truck drivers. The word "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" was missed though. Even on television, it's still there.
