It got a '15' rating here.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 03-30-2006 03:00 PM                    I love it when ten year olds come up to buy tickets for a PG-13 movie. When we ask them how old they are, they answer "13" - because they think they have to be 13 to see it. So, then, naturally, we charge them for an adult ticket.  |  IP: Logged Jason Winn Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Mesquite, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2006 posted 03-30-2006 04:06 PM                     quote: Don Anderson There isn't much R rated stuff in V for Vendetta. I'm baffled that it did not get a PG13 rating. The only real violence came at the near end of the film. V for Vendetta wasn't rated R because of the violence. It was rated R because of the language. They say the f-word a few times. I might be wrong about this, but I think, if you say the f-word once, you can get away with a PG-13 rating. But, if you say it more than once, you automatically get an R rating. Even to this day, I'm still baffled that The Matrix was rated R. It should've been PG-13.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-30-2006 04:28 PM                     I know that directors or studios or someone sometimes request a rating for their movie and the MPAA either approves their request or tells them what they need to change. I can't see why someone would request an R when they could get a PG-13, except maybe to try and gain adult interest?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 03-31-2006 01:49 PM                        possible spoilers... um... also a mass grave with naked corpses being bulldozed ... they would have a tough time trying to pass that as PG-13.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-01-2006 03:43 AM                        quote: Jason Winn I might be wrong about this, but I think, if you say the f-word once, you can get away with a PG-13 rating.

See www.cara.org.(*) It says: quote: Title: V For Vendetta (2005) Rating: R Rating Reason: Rated R for strong violence and some language. Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures Inc. --jhawk (*) link is through my perl script that proxies an http GET into an http POST so you can link to it.  |  IP: Logged Luci Reeve Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Telluride, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 04-03-2006 06:45 PM                        Go watch the documentary THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED. The ratings system makes very little sense anyway. The only reason I could see that VENDETTA got an R is that actual red stuff spurted when "V" slashed anyone. It was the tamest R movie I ever saw.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-04-2006 12:24 AM                        The tamest R-rated film in history is "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" which would have been rated PG if not for Steve Martin's f-bomb-laced rant at the rental car lady: "...I want my fucking car. Right. Fucking. Now." "Do you have your rental agreement?" "No. I threw it away." "You're fucked." The movie "Tootsie" has Dustin Hoffman saying "Fuck you" sort of under his breath two or three times and it's rated PG.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 04-08-2006 03:05 PM                        quote: Mike Blakesley The tamest R-rated film in history is "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" or 'Billy Elliot'  |  IP: Logged
