Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: Difference between revisions

Line 44:

*** The same situation had happened for ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]'' and resulted in that film being cut for PG.

* Related to this trope, and [[Rated "M" for Money]], the horror movie parody, ''[[Student Bodies (film)|Student Bodies]]'', had this scene in the middle of the film:

{{quote| '''Announcer:''' Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say [[Precision F-Strike|"Fuck you."]]}}

** Every theatrical movie has to display the trademarked MPAA logo and its assigned Rating at some point during the film. Most choose to show this at the very end after the credits, and a few choose to show it at the very beginning prior to the studio's logo. ''Student Bodies'' showed it right after the above announcement in the middle of the film.

* The fact that [[M. Night Shyamalan]]'s ''[[The Happening]]'' was his first R-rated film was a huge marketing point.
