I remember reading Star Gate: the novelization and Rambo 2: the Novelizaion when I was younger.  In both instances they censored the cursewords (Star Gate people didn't even say "hell") but amped the violence.

2001 : Movie and book at the same time, yet different
2010: book to movie
2061: book, no movie
2069: Porn parody... no book
3001: just book again
