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. |

Anthony Hopkins is the retired Zorro who trains Antonio
Banderas to be the new Zorro.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Kissing and some sexual innuendo. Some scenes with suggestive
dancing. A woman is shown scantily clad, and we get to see a few naked male buttocks.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Many scenes of threatening with guns and a few explosions
and fires. Some people are shot and killed throughout the film, but usually without blood.
A man shoots himself, a man is pushed through a window and a man is thrown down some steps
leaving blood on his temple. A head and hand are shown floating in jars. A decapitation
takes place (off screen) and a man is strangled -- his neck breaks audibly. People are
whipped in a few scenes and a man is hit repeatedly in the head with steel balls until he
spits out his teeth. A small, bloody cut is seen on a neck and cheek, and we see a bloody
forehead and a bloody bandage, a bloody sleeve, a bloody bag and a bloody necklace. A
man's mouth is bloody after he is shot and killed. Lots of scenes of swordplay. A man
pokes another in the neck with his sword in an extended scene and a man is impaled on a
sword: we see his bloody mouth and teeth and the bloody sword poking out his back. A
bucking horse runs through some people and kicks someone off, and a man is kicked by a
horse. Two men are knocked off their horses by branches. There are many face punches and
kicks, some chases and falls.
PROFANITY 2 - Some mild obscenities, and an anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Politics, oppression, revenge, kidnapping, parenthood.
MESSAGE - Revenge is a dish best served cold.

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. |
