Rated R my ass


What the hell makes it rated R other than the shootings and the lack of serious swearing. I see more violence in an episode of lost when the Iraq guy Siede killed a man with a dish washer!

There is a bit of serious swearing. I know "I'M GOING TO EAT YOUR *beep* HEART!!!" counts for something.

Lethal 3 totally deserves its R rating.

For the R rating, I was hoping to see Rene Russo's snatch! LOL

I swear, as tonight I watched it widescreen for the first time since the theater,that there is nipple available when Lorna and Martin are kissing after she trips him to the floor. It was a SD disc but on a Blu-Ray player, TV was only 720, perhaps the player's resolution was the reason for finally seeing it?

Rent "The Thomas Crowne Affair" if you are looking to see Rene Russo's breasts.

I don't have an opinion. The word "opinion" implies the possibility I'm wrong.

reply

I have seen it, and for her age they were spectacular. All I was getting at was perhaps this factored in to the rating? There are an awful lot of f-bombs in all the Lethal films though.

reply

there's also a fair amount of shooting and Murtaugh killing a henchman with an axe to the chest.

Lethal Weapon's rating is more mystifying for me. It has much less swearing, very little bloodiness and this slightly juvenile "we're all family!" feel to it.

reply

But it did have probably the most mature themes of the bunch with a still crazy Riggs contemplating suicide and the like.

reply

I realize I'm late to the party, but with his comment about the "family feel" I'm pretty sure he was talking about Lethal Weapon 4

Yeah as Lethal Weapon was very violent. I thing Lethal Weapon 2 is the most violent of the lot though. Just Riggs' killing of the two henchmen by the car in that is enough.

reply

That would make more sense, although they all get "R's" just for language alone.

And multiple boobs.

I can tell by your post that you mean 4 and you're wrong.

3 feels like an episode of a TV cop show the violence is so tame. Apart from Murtaugh throwing an hammer in to a guy there's nothing, and there's no blood even then, and very little blood elsewhere.

4 has violent hand to hand combat, including arms been broken/dislocated, chokings - at least three of them, including a long one on Riggs, a thumb in the eye, a guy been hit by a bus, another guy smashed in to by a truck, two shootings in the head, and all that's before Jet Li's death which alone is more violent and bloody than anything in 3.

Heehee!

They said f and m-f quite a bit. One scene where's he holdings those guys down with the machine gun and threatens to run over the one guy he says m-f a good 10 times.

you can say that again.

reply

I just watched this the other day and there's a ton of f-bombs in it.

Other than that though it's really not violent at all and the tone is really light throughout the majority of the movie.

reply

I was 23 years old when I saw Lethal Weapon 3 in theaters. Due to the F-word ( Joe Pesci's riff, Danny Glover's machine gun scene) anybody with a functioning brain cell in their brain would have given this and the entire series an R rating. Grow up OP
