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. |

Barbara Hershey and Tom Berenger find a lost tribe of
Native Americans and get all warm and fuzzy about them and each other.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A couple of kisses, hugging, hand-holding, and some flirting.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - We see a bloody knife, a couple of bloody arrows, and a
bloody shirt. Men are attacked by Indians and are shot with arrows (we hear the arrows
entering a man's body). A corpse is shown, with a trickle of blood coming out of his
mouth. A man and woman almost fall off a cliff, a woman is dragged behind a horse. A dog
is shot by an arrow and we see a bloody wound. A man on horseback is chased by gun-toting
cops in cars. Two people are knocked into a fast-moving river. There is a fistfight, a man
and woman are threatened by arrow-wielding Indians, and people are threatened with guns a
couple of times.
PROFANITY 3 - Four scatological terms, and many milder obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Native Americans, ethnocentrism, genocide, other cultures.
MESSAGE - Learning about and accepting other cultures can enrich your life.

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. |
