In the original script Regan/Pazuzu turns into a temptress, which then inspires Fr. Lamont to rape her, which then sends Lamont into a despairing tailspin leading to his self destruction -- all part of Pazuzu's plan. But before shooting began, Blair told Boorman and the crew, "Listen. I don't know what kind of ugliness you have planned here, but just forget it. It's not happening.". So the replacement scene just has Lamont losing control and mounting her for a second; and then pulling back in horror. As it was, Blair said filming those erotic scenes between her, a 17 year old, and 42 year old married and middle-aged Burton were "very awkward and uncomfortable".
