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. |

This time out Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has to confront the
alien on a lice-infested prison-planet made up of narrow tunnels.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - No sex was shown. Intimated sex between a man and a woman;
they are shown in bed together apparently after sex, but they are both clothed.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Lots of blood, and many gruesome scenes of the Alien
killing its prey. An autopsy scene where we hear the cutting open of the body and the
cracking of the breast bone and separation of the ribs. Even though there are no weapons,
"Alien 3" is as gory as the first two installments.
PROFANITY 7 - Initially, the inmates reprimand each other when they use
profanity, but as the fear builds, they all partake in using the F-word and other assorted
four-letter words. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Weird religions.
MESSAGE - You cannot escape sequels.

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. |
