The language isn't that bad. I'm watching it right now and I've seen it a couple of times before. I dont really remember the language being too bad. Certainly not as bad as the matrix. There are a couple of scenes where they use some bad language but not too many.
shareIf you think the language in "The Matrix" is bad, then don't UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES watch "Die Hard With a Vengeance", as it will probably give you a cardiac arrest in five minutes (;
shareThere is some language, as previous posts here state, but what made the movie rated R was the use of the "F" word at least twice. Off the top of my head is when the Secret Service agent, in the emergency room, responded to the FBI agent's condescending remark. The other being Mike Deaver's character telling Nancy Reagan about how many "F-up's" have gone on during the initial ordeal

I wouldn't doubt there were expletives flying around when Reagan was shot and some things got helter skelter at the hospital and the White House. When Haig misstated the succession, and I saw on the real press briefing that he did in fact say that he was in control. He probably really didn't realize that the chain of succession had changed in 1967 and that the Speaker of the House was third in line then after. But either way, it was a goof and seeming coup, so I'm sure when he got back down to the chaos room, some of those might have been angry.

Haig was 33 years behind the times, not just 13.
The Secretary of State was second in the line of succession until 1947. When Harry S Truman replaced Franklin Roosevelt, he realized that there would be no Vice President for over three years. Truman didn't like the idea that in naming his Secretary of State, he was in fact choosing his own successor. Accordingly, he asked Congress to change the law.
The Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate were moved back in ahead of the cabinet members, the justification being that (1) better an elected official than an appointed one, and (2) the House is closer to the people than the Senate.
The 1967 amendment providxes for filling a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, making succession beyond the V.P. a great deal less likely.
