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. |

Mel Gibson and Danny Glover team up for the fourth
"Lethal Weapon" installment.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo (including lots of references to
homosexuality). Kissing.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Lots of explosions and fires. There are car chases and
crashes and boat crashes galore - a car actually goes through an office building. Also
lots of threatening with guns and shooting at people: one shootout results in many people
being killed, with bloody bullet holes in a head and torso. There are lots of fistfights
and martial arts fighting (usually with audible bone breaks. In one scene a man breaks
another man's neck with his bare hands and with a snap). A man is impaled (we see blood
spurting) and some men are strangled to death in a few scenes. A man is thrown through a
door, a man is hit by a truck on a highway and a man grabs another out of moving car. A
house is set on fire with people trapped inside. A bruised and bloody face is shown and a
man in a car is hit by a train and we see blood on his face. There's a bit of blood seen
on the chest of a corpse. A truck hits a car and we then see a corpse hanging out of the
car with blood on its face. A man is shot many times under water, which turns bloody.
PROFANITY 8 - About 44 F-words, many obscenities, anatomical references,
racial epithets and scatological references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Law enforcement, homophobia, racism, modern slave trade,
friendship.
MESSAGE - Friends can be as close and important to you as your own your
family.

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. |
