Why was the rating surrendered in the States in 1987?
Anybody know?
shareProbably because of the "child nudity" referred to in another thread of the same name on here.

Actually I think it had more to do with a rethink on what the appropriate rating was for the scene of full frontal nudity with the ADULT woman (the posing model), rather than the unwrapping scene with the young girl. In Australia the film is still rated PG - and I confess I'm surprised at that, but because of the model's nudity.
shareBut none of the nudity was ever of a sexual nature, it was either there for humor, plot or just innocent in nature.
shareHow sad that anyone even had to consider the issue. Just saw the film for the first time and was moved to the core. Have always loved Hallstrom's films, so now I can see why. My God we are prudes in America!!!
shareIf you pay attention, nothing is ever really shown when the model is nude. Her genitals are covered by leg placement and her nipples are obscured by her hair.

In the 1994 British VHS edition there is frontal nudity in this scene, maybe the copy you saw was slightly censored?
"I think you're a load of old crap too, Mr Mulligan."
Possibly, though that would mean that he filmed two versions.

More likely the version you saw was simply edited a little different than the copy I own.
"I think you're a load of old crap too, Mr Mulligan."
The TV version shown in the UK has brief full frontal nudity in a couple of shots but it could easily have been censored by editing and/or reframing the image.
shareGirls have a vagina and boys have a penis. I hope this doesnt offend anyone
shareWhat about transexuals?
shareSame goes for them, perhaps you meant hermaphrodites?

I found this funny. Not that what you said is funny but that the other poster got it wrong.
