The FCC covers broadcast TV but not cable or DVD/in theatre movies. You can, technically, show whatever you want on cable. Comedy Central has started doing a thing where they show uncut/unedited movies and stand-up acts late at night, but most don't do it because the pressure they would get from various leaders and activist groups would far outweigh the benefit.

If you are a movie producer and you don't plan to show your movie on TV, there are very few rules.
