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.
Mayhem, war and death erupt after the South Park kids start
using the language they hear in a movie and their parents try to censor it. With the
voices of Mary Kay Bergman, George Clooney, Minnie Driver, Isaac Hayes, Eric Idle, Mike
Judge, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. [1:20]
SEX/NUDITY 7 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including references to
masturbation, bestiality, incest and homosexuality). We hear moaning while boys watch a
sex video on the computer (we briefly see an animated man and woman having sex and a woman
preparing to perform fellatio). An animated couple are shown in bed together, (presumably
post-coitus), an animated woman -- seen from the torso up -- shoots ping pong balls at a
male audience from between her spread knees and a couple of times an animated character
makes hand motions under covers, implying masturbation. We see animated full frontal male
nudity, an animated mound that is supposed to be a clitoris, animated bare breasts (seen a
couple of times), animated bare male buttocks and bikini clad men; also, we see two photos
of real male penises and a picture of man standing behind a horse, supposedly having
intercourse with it.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - All scenes are animated: A heart explodes and we see some
blood on an open chest and ribcage; we also see lots of blood in an emergency room where
organs are pulled out of a character. War scenes with machine gun fire, explosions,
stabbing and attacking with chainsaws; we see puddles of blood, body parts flying and
bloody corpses. A few characters are shot with blood on their heads and bodies; a
character dies with a bloody face and mouth and we see blood on torture victims' heads and
bodies. Two people are shocked in electric chairs and another is shocked every time he
curses. A character is scorched and impaled (with intestines showing), teeth are pulled
out of someone's mouth (some blood is visible), a character is tied over a fiery pit
with chains and a person throws himself out of a window and hits a car (we see some
blood). A baby is kicked through window, a boy is hit over the head with a chair, a person
is broken in half over someone's knee and a face is slapped. Hell is depicted in a few
scenes with fiery demons and skeletons. Two kids light their flatulence and burn
themselves (one dies), the force of someone's flatulence knocks a person into a drum
set, animals urinate on snow and there are several scenes of vomiting and passing gas.

PROFANITY 10 - More than 100+ F-words, many scatological and anatomical
references, many mild obscenities and many racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Censorship, war, intolerance, profanity.
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.
