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. |

Based on the popular video game, "Mortal Kombat"
pits mortals against supernatural beings in a tournament where the prize is Earth itself.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Some vague, non-obscene sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - There is not much blood (a man has a line of blood come
out of his mouth, a man has a couple of bloody scratches on his face), but a great deal of
martial arts fighting resulting in death. The fight scenes contain screaming and bone
crunching, twists and turns, punches and kicks. A man falls to his death onto spikes,
writhing and groaning. Cops shoot at a crowd of people (one person falls through a glass
window and dies). A woman breaks a man's neck with her legs. A man breaks a boy's back
with his foot. A man has a whip-like scorpion come out of his hand that follows people and
tries to kill them by biting them. A man shoots out a ball that causes another man to
freeze and then break into many pieces. An attacker becomes a skull and is cut many times
(liquid oozes out) before exploding. Some of the fighters have various deformities. A
reptile-like thingy attacks people and when it dies bugs and worms ooze out of its body.
PROFANITY 2 - One scatological term, a couple of milder obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Sacrifice, revenge, destiny.
MESSAGE - You can't escape your destiny.

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. |
