I honestly don’t know if that makes it better or worse.
Like…imagine being the director.
“OK Ray, now this is where the ghost is going to edge you, and tease your balls with her tongue. Obviously we can’t show your balls, so make sure to express it with facial cues! Aaaaand ACTION!”
Then they review the footage, and decide not to use it. And Ray is like “WHAT THE HELL MAN???” And the director is like "Oh. Yeah. That was just a goof. Bill Murray dared me to see how long I could get you to do that scene for and waste your time.
And just think. There is a non-zero chance that footage still exists, and could be discovered some day. I remember in 2017 they found some long lost silent film era films. So there is a chance that one day they’ll release the directors cut of the BJ scene.
And by then, we’ll probably all be dead. And kids born 50 years from now will be confused by films from the 1980s.
I remember something about the bj scene being left mostly on the cutting room floor… there was a whole dream sequence

80s movies are already confusing and, believe it or not, I wasn’t born 50 years from now.
… I think.
This reminded me of the balls scene in the original Robocop that got cut but found its way into the internet.
