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. |

Mario Van Peebles is a man-made fighting machine.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A brief glimpse of a woman's bare breasts on a pornographic
playing card.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Some explosions and fireballs, fistfights with some blood,
martial arts fighting with some broken bones and crunching sounds, lots of gunfire (little
blood, lots of deaths). A man's back is broken, a couple of men have their necks twisted
and snapped, a man is impaled with a missile, a couple of people are crushed, a man is
drowned by another offscreen, a man is hanged. Corpses are shown lying on the ground with
some blood on them, a helicopter explodes into a mountain. Children are in jeopardy:
nearly choked, a tree nearly falls on them, they are nearly bitten by a snake and kicked
by an adult. A man has blood and cuts on his face and chest.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, some mild obscenities, a few scatological
references, an anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Technology, warfare, betrayal, revenge.
MESSAGE - You have to protect yourself from betrayal.

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. |
