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.
The sequel to "The Crow" has Vincent Perez as a
man who dies and comes back from death to set wrongs right.
SEX/NUDITY 7 - Sexual innuendo, two women are engaging in S&M: in
bondage leather and one drips hot wax on the other while she writhes. We see many bare
breasts, an orgy has people having sex standing up (mostly while clothed). A man
masturbates in a peepshow.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A man and boy are shot to death by a crowd (we see this
scene in flashback many times). Explosions, falls, rioting, people shot with guns --
sometimes multiple times. A man is injected up his nose (offscreen), a man is drilled in
the eye (offscreen), a man's eyes are squeezed out (offscreen) and we later see his
bloody, eyeless corpse. Fistfights and beatings which sometimes result in blood. Men are
impaled a couple of times, a man is nearly hung, various stabbings, martial arts fighting.
A woman's back is audibly broken and she's then thrown out a window and becomes a puddle
of blood. A crow is tortured to death and lays in a pool of blood. A man dies while
engulfed in flames.

PROFANITY 7 - 25+ F-words, many scatological references, a few mild
obscenities and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death, revenge, S&M.
MESSAGE - Love and the desire for revenge can even survive death.
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.
