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. |

John Ritter stars as a struggling salesman who gets a TV
with a huge screen and a super satellite dish accessing 666 channels-of pure hell: It's
"Hellivision" where every show has a morbid slant. Ritter and wife Pam Dawber
get sucked into the satellite dish and find themselves scrambling to save their lives as
they move from program to program.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Dawber is tied to a wagon in her bloomers, cleavage is shown
in that costume and others.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Lots of cartoonish violence. One lady gets killed by
Godzilla. One guy gets his arm and leg torn off by wolves (though you just see him getting
attacked). There isn't a whole lot of gore or blood, but lots of violence, especially in
the animated sequence.
PROFANITY 2 - Use of mildly offensive language. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Twisted parodies of TV shows that adults will understand, but
kids won't.
MESSAGE - Be a doer instead of a watcher.

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. |
