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. |

Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt and Bill
Pullman battle a huge crocodile that's terrorizing a local lake. With Betty White,
Meredith Salenger and Mariska Hargitay. [1:22]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Some sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A screaming man is jerked underwater and then thrown
against boat; when he's pulled out of the water, his mouth is bloody and his lower
body is missing (bloody entrails are visible). The same man is shown later on morgue
table, covered with a blood-soaked towel. A person's head is bitten off, leaving a
bloody stump and twitching legs. A crocodile bites someone; it also snaps at and nearly
eats a group of people. A crocodile stalks a man and then attacks his helicopter as a
woman shoots at it. A crocodile eats a bear and grabs a cow by its head and drags it
underwater; also, we see a videotape of a crocodile eating a water buffalo. A crocodile is
shot with tranquilizers and is blown up (we see a bloody explosion of its body parts). A
helicopter crashes. A man is turned upside down by his ankle when he steps in a trap and a
couple of times boats flip over and people are thrown into water. A punch, two slaps, some
falls and chases and threatening with a gun. We see a severed human head with a snake
crawling out of its mouth, a severed animal head, an animal corpse underwater and a
maggoty severed toe. We see a bruise and cut on a man's forehead, a person's bloody
sleeve, a bloody cut on someone's arm and bloody bandages on a crocodile's head.
PROFANITY 6 - About 12 F-words, some anatomical references, many
scatological references and a few mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Reptiles, conservation, man versus nature, mutant animals.
MESSAGE - Don't mess with Mother Nature.

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. |
