NC-17?
What?

Supposedly it was for the film's violence, but it's no where near some of the violent crap that is in theaters today.
shareI see an R rating. Where are you getting this NC-17?
BTW: There were worse violent films than this one prior to it that received R ratings -- Scarface (1983) and Goodfellas (1990), to name a few -- so don't make it sound like we couldn't handle our violence back then. The floodgates were opened, incidentally, by Arthur Penn's groundbreaking Bonnie and Clyde (1967), as movies kept getting bloodier into the '70s and beyond.
