Don't know whether this is a significant step towards hardcore on general sale/rental in the UK but I recently rented 'Babe Wire' ffrom ScreenSelect. Rated 18.
For some reason I checked out the extras before the actual film and to my surprise noticed that the 'slide show' has hardcore pics in it (penetration, facials etc). I figured it may be a hardcore film with an 18 certificate (i.e. ScreenSelect's way to get past the censors) but to my disappointment the film itself was softcore Adult Channel style stuff.
My question is: if the slideshow's hard then why not make the film itself hard? In any event is this a step in the right direction?

If it was an R-18 hard film, they wouldn't be able to supply it. Without looking up this title, I wonder if there's an R-18 version available to buy and the extras were used on both versions of the disc in error?
