Rated PG but Includes the F-Word.
How come this was rated PG when it contained the F-word. Why not at least a PG-13. I only ask to raise the question, have movie ratings become more sensitive as years go by?

shareMaybe they have.
Oh, why do I have to be Mr. Pink?
But in Shrek (U) Donkey says crap.

"That I had died and Boromir had lived."
its rated PG-13
shareanother good example of this is Police Academy. There's lots of stuff in that youngsters probably shouldn't be seeing but I think all of those films are only PG. I think ratings have definitely become more sensitive.
shareActually the first two Police Academy movies were rated R and PG-13 respectively, while the others were all PG. The first two both contained some nudity and much harsher language than the following films.
It's so sad that I know that.
I think the rule is that you can say the F-word once in a movie, and still have it rated PG-13 (as long as you use the word in a non-sexual way). A recent example is Saved!
I think the first major movie to use the F-word was M*A*S*H. The first PG movie to use it was Mommie Dearest ("Don't *beep* with me, fellas!"). PG-13 didn't exist at the time. It was controversial at the time, but notice how the word is not used to imply sexual activity.
I think the ratings do change slightly over time, as do the intentions of the filmmakers and the tastes of the general audience. In the early days, movies like Planet of the Apes and The Andromeda Strain got released with G ratings, despite brief non-sexual nudity and violence.
Now, even kid's movies often try for a PG or PG-13 rating.
Hot Shots! is rated PG-13. The only PG rated movie that I've heard the F-word in is Spaceballs.
shareZorro The Gay Blade also features the F word but it was released before the PG-13 rating.
share16 Candles says the F word and its rated PG. The movie Hero says the F word at least 5 times and its rated PG-13.

Transformers the Movie is rated PG which uses the words damn it, and *Sh*t.*

"I don't have a clue what you're talking about, fred (at least I think that's the name hs uses this time), not a *beep* clue."
also, at the end, when Topper brings owatana the batteries, Owatana says "its about *beep* time" (in indian of course)
And in Spaceballs, it is barely audible, so I'm sure the censors just didn't catch it the first time.

Beetlejuice says it 3 times
shareI think so... kinda.
Why do I say this? Top Gun was rated PG... and that has more swear words than you can shake a stick at! Plus... well, no visible nudity - but an extremely obvious sex scene.
I think now-a-days they've become a little more careful about it. BUT, you've also got society changing... teens dressing like they wanna be of age already - ya know? Other... can I say minor (?) swear words are completely commonplace.
So you still have movies rated PG with... I don't like saying... minor swear
words, implied sex (they wake up in the same bed the next morning), plugged in everywhere.

hahah, you non-americans and your obsession with our movies
sharenot our fault that you americans make most movies:(
shareThe first movie to have a PG-13 rating was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, released in 1984. It was Spielberg's idea, since he felt that the movie was too dark for a PG rating but not enough for an R.
shareActually, Temple of Doom was PG. They added the PG-13 rating because of Temple of Doom and Gremlins. The first movie to get a PG-13 rating was Red Dawn.
shareHot Shots was PG-13 in the States, but up here in Canada, it's PG.
shareI thought Hot Shots! was 14A up here in Canada, along with Super Troopers, Club Dread and the South Park movie. What a way to *beep* up the youth of today, huh! Expose them to nudity, swearing, etc at a very early age.

South Park and Club Dread are 18A, actually.

Wow all this commotion about PG rated movies containing the F word...and to think it all started by that classic scene at the end of Gone With The Wind....how time travels!!!

If you want a proper explanation of this watch the naked gun 2 (i think!) with the directors commentry and all is explained they can only use one per film and not in refrence to sex
shareIt's because American parents are to soft and shelters their kid from everything they percieve as evil (everything) in the world...hence the kids grow up to be twits and sissies, crying to mom whenever something remotely bad happens to them..."Mommie, why did that black boy call me an *beep* when I told him to take my bags up to the room! *wwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhh!* the world is against me"
Stinking kids of today...I bet they can't even hit you in the nose and make you bleed properly either...

Just what age does PG, etc referr to? We just use "7 years and up" or "13 years and up" etc. here in sweden...

the DVD i have says it's rated PG-13. remember boys and girls, this was the 1991 when it came out....yeah you coudl get away a with a lot more earlier than that (Planet Of The Apes has that famous last line. Spaceballs has many a curse word as well as a good bit of sexual humor) the thing is, more thigns were tolerable back then, as opposed to the cencorship-happy days of recent. and who cares if it is PG-13 and has all that stuff? i can vividly remebring watching The Terminator, The Exorcist, and Silence Of The Lambs on the same day when i was 7 years old. and i got to see (against my parents will) The Rocky Horror Picture Show on my 8th birthday. granted, i'm pretty *beep* up today, but i like to think i'm relativly harmless. so what's the matter?

Who cares what its rated.. i dont know about you, but personaly i wouldnt mind letting my kids watch a r-rated movie, if i was with them.

Provided it was a movie worth seeing. I wouldn't let children anywhere near "The Hills Have Eyes." I'd raise to be able to tell the difference between a good movie and something drudged up from the cinema cemetary, thrown in the blender with some schlock, eaten and subsequently shat onto film by an incontinent rhinocerous.

don't forget that raiders of the lost ark was rated PG and there was the sight of an exploding head at the end of that film. it was originally rated R but steven speilberg fought to get a PG rating and succeeded. The same thing with poltergeist, temple of doom, gremlins some other non speilberg films like footloose.
shareBecause.
