EDITOR'S NOTE

» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.

MPAA Rating: R

Shakedown artist Chili Palmer (John Travolta) gets into the movie business with a guy he was sent to shake down.

SEX/NUDITY 2 - A man and woman kiss passionately while she's supposedly rubbing his crotch; she's wearing a teddy. A man and woman kiss and later we see their bare shoulders in bed. Some sex talk.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man shoots at another man and we see blood on his forehead (later). A man is shot and falls off a balcony. Another man is shot (there's blood on his torso). People are threatened (sometimes with guns). A man bloodies a guy's nose and throughout the film his nose is bruised and misshapen. Several men are beaten up.
