"R" RATING FOR VIOLENCE?
I believe this is the first time a movie received an "R" rating solely for its graphic violence.
shareDeath Wish (74)
Probably tons of others if we take some time to look
I will if you are game👍
I'll see what I can find.
shareCode of Silence (85)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (74)
Dirty Harry (71)...all of the Dirty Harrys...
There are a ton of them!
I appreciate your post, too often modern movies go for the PG or PG13 rating for box office sales and I get the economics...it is a business!
But I do miss the R's
They seem rare now:(
Again, films like Dirty Harry are not solely on violence as the original post conveyed about The Patriot. Outside of the violence nothing in the Patriot would come close to merit an R. Films you are mentioning do have things other than violence that would add to an R rating.
shareWell, you seem to be more aware of how the rating system works than I am Duck
I always just assumed that graphic killings or sex scenes got an R but you make a good point
I suppose 'language' and other themes may figure into it
It really is a silly system lol
There is still plenty of R rated movies made they are just rare in the Summer.
Death Wish (74) was not solely on violence. Plenty profanity in that one. I believe perhaps other sexual themes too outside the rape during the initial home invasion.
The Patriot had mild at best...as IMDB says about the Patriot's profanity "Basically none. Some "Damns" and "Hells""
I can't recall any sexy stuff from Death Wish (I considered the rape as violence obviously) but there was some 'language' for sure
The R rating for The Patriot was pretty silly
Nice work Duck
The ratings system is pretty stupid...we should do a whole thread about this absurd ratings system
>>I can't recall any sexy stuff from Death Wish (I considered the rape as violence obviously) <<
Same here, but I was thinking perhaps a scene with a pimp, and/or a hooker "in action" or along those lines.
Rape is violence as you said.
I think they showed the daughters breast while getting raped also.
