ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
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. |

Terrorists hijack Air Force One with the President onboard
(Harrison Ford).
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Kissing.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Many people are shot by machine gun fire and killed; some
have blood on them and sometimes their bodies jerk with the bullets (the blood is found on
all body parts and it looks quite thick and red). We see corpses lying in blood and blood
on walls, carpets, etc., bloody bandages (arms, head, chest). Some people spend most of
the film with blood on them and bruises and scratches (there are several close-ups). A few
times people are shot point-blank in the head. Some explosions (including a couple of
plane crashes). Some extended fights with punches and kicks. A man is choked by a cord as
he's pushed out of a plane; we see his corpse dangling. Other people fall out of a plane
and to their death.
PROFANITY 6 - Five F-words, some anatomical references, a couple of
scatological references, many mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Terrorism, hijacking, the presidency, politics, negotiating.
MESSAGE - One should not negotiate with terrorists.

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. |
