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. |

"The Godfather" gets the "Airplane!"
treatment from comedy director Jim Abrahams. With Lloyd Bridges, Jay Mohr and Christina
Applegate.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo, including references to masturbation, forced
sex, pornography, oral sex and impotence. A girl's clothed breasts grow and her nipples
become pronounced. Women wear cleavage revealing clothing, and skimpy costumes during a
strip club scene, revealing bare buttocks. Sex noises are audible and a man and woman are
seen having sex: the man is topless and she is in her bra. A man's erection is used as a
bird perch.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man is thrown after a car explosion; a building also
explodes. A boy is shot at, a man is shot and wounded, and several men are shot and
killed. After some killings we see bloody bullet holes. A man's thumb is shot through a
rifle and a boy picks it up. A woman punches a man, a boy's head is knocked into a door
frame and a man's head is kicked off. Some people are zapped with a cattle prod, a man is
sprayed with poison and dies and a man is stabbed with flower stems (blood trickles from
his mouth). A dead man's face (it doesn't appear to be real) is stepped on and a tiger is
shown eating a woman's leg (it doesn't appear to be real either). We see a man's burned
face. Some threatening with knives and guns. Some scatological humor.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, a couple of scatological terms, many derogatory
terms for women, several anatomical references, several mild obscenities and insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The Mafia, crime, gambling, politics.
MESSAGE - You can make fun of pretty much everything.

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. |
