Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: Difference between revisions

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

** Despite there being very little gore (plenty of off-camera violence and [[Gory Discretion Shot]]s here) no sex or nudity, and to memory, one swear word; "pussy." They weren't trying to hide their use of this trope at all, were they?

* A racial slur briefly used in the movie of ''[[The Help]]'' is what mainly gives it a PG-13 rating, but like ''[[Stranger Than Fiction]]'', though the whole pie scene probably would've put it in between PG and PG-13, the racial slur was probably added to push it over.

* [[Indiana Jones]] occasionally says swearwords ("shit" several times across his movies, what may be a severely muffled "fuck" in ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'') probably for this very reason, just to make absolutely sure that movies featuring [[Family-Unfriendly Death|people melting, people on fire, people getting stabbed by walls, open heart surgery using hands, rapid ageing and]] ''[[Gorn|exploding lightning Nazis]]'' would not be shown to small children. [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|Didn't help much]]. The sequel was even more violent and famously contributed to the creation of the PG-13 rating.
