For its time especially? 1989...
One use of the F-word
"Suck my [.....]" is used
Drugs are portrayed
Some of the fights are fairly graphic
And a rape
Again how is this a PG-13? lol
Should have been rated R.
PG-13 seems about right.
shareOne use of the F-word
a pretty good amount of bloodshed
a depiction of a rape?
I don't know how this got away with a PG-13. LOL
What rape are you talking about? The girl getting stripped in the bathroom at the start was not rape, assault maybe but hardly a rape. What bloodshed? I didn't see anybody getting their heads chopped off, stabbed, or shot to death in graphic detail. You can use the word fuck in a PG-13 movie twice or three times at the most if it's said in a non-sexual context, look up the MPAA guidelines. The MPAA have very strange rules.
shareUnless they’ve changed that recently, you’re only allowed one F bomb in a PG-13 unless appealed successfully to the full 21-member board (rare).
shareIt’s not an R, and what rape are you referring to?
If this were made before 1984 it should have been PG, by today’s standards it’s PG-13
Nope.
Since 1984, PG-13 flicks are allowed one use of the more sexually explicit words in a no sexual context. You get one free f**k. Here it was Clark saying, “Don’t f—- around, boy — JUMP!” Previously, any use at all would bring an “R” unless successfully appealed formally (“The Front”, “All the President’s Men”). It was referred to as the “automatic language rule.”
