Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
Leslie Nielsen and Kelly LeBrock star in this spoof of
mainly "The Fugitive," but also of other old and recent films.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including implied erections and
references to masturbation, lesbians, orgasms, adultery, sperm banks and homosexual sex).
Some women wear cleavage revealing outfits and swimsuits. A woman teases a man by
suggestively caressing a cigar with her mouth. A woman shifts her breasts in her swimsuit
and lifeguards of both sexes adjust body parts within their swimsuits. During a struggle
between two men, they assume sexually suggestive positions. A man and woman are shown in
bed together having sex - with some movements and sounds. A man and woman kiss, and oral
sex is implied.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Lots of cartoonish violence played for laughs: people are
being hit with objects, a man is shocked, a man's ear is cut off (we only see the ear fall
to the ground), a man's fake arm, leg and eye are pulled out, and lots of property damage.
A man is shot repeatedly and killed by arrows. A man is crushed by a table, some people
are shot at, and a man is stabbed (off camera). A bus careens over a hill and stops on
railroad tracks where it is hit by a train. A couple of explosions.

PROFANITY 3 - A few scatological terms, 10 mild obscenities, several
anatomical references and insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Crime and justice, escape from prison, trying to clear your
name.
MESSAGE - The distinct satirical genre spawned by "Airplane" has
reached its artistic and comedic nadir.
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
