I’ve seen this sign in Chinese (hangkong ban DVD) outside of a few pron shops, but I have no idea what it means. Is it sex in an airplane? If so, is that a big fetish here in Taiwan?
Pron shops? Like the ones where you can pay to fish prons from a big concrete pool? I was unaware this had anything to do with airplanes.

Sure, man… “outside”.
And now in a serious reply, this is all I had heard of “Airline Edition” DVDs, until you brought it up just now that is:
foxnews.com/story/0,2933,267840,00.html
Technical answer 1: I believe region 7 is assigned for airlines, so they won’t play on any player.
Technical answer 2: Film companies are usually contractually obliged to make airline versions of films, which have the swearing dubbed over, and also cannot show any aircraft in danger. Have you seen the airline version of Speed? Very silly…
EDIT: Irishstu interestingly mentioned Casino Royale, that film also showed an aircraft being damaged at the end of one exiting sequence, If I remember correctly, so I don’t think Virgin showed it uncut either.
There’s always a lot of action around the cockpit.
I had always assumed they were the edited versions shown on airlines, and since they are undesirable clipped copies that won’t play on local region players, they should be DIRT cheap.
You’re much better off buying your prons from Fluffy, though.
Airlines don’t show porn, so I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with movies that are played on airplanes. I’m talking about sex movies. Skin flicks. Adult video. Yellow movies. A-pian.
Oh wait! Are you talking about those movies where you can see women’s knees?
The movies are so good, you have to buckle up.
Ok, serious answer: I assume those shops deal in both porn and airline versions of mainstream films, but I have never ventured into such a shop 
so I can’t tell you for sure.
Federal law requires you to have access to an oxygen mask.
Mile-high club?
Maybe it’s for those charter airplanes where you pay for an orgy.
Googling it seems to suggest that these are DVDs which have not gone through customs and therefore are not censored according to the bongo laws here.
Of course if you want to be sure you could always just go in and ask…
Has anyone mentioned landing strips yet?
My porn name is Sniffy Browne.
No can do on the airpron. Tie a knot in it.

Yes, of course. Now it’s research, isn’t it?
Yeah, Googling it in Chinese turns up basically what Taffy said. The movies are in the original Japanese packaging and have not had subtitles added; in addition, they’ve not passed the GIO’s censorship process.
