Was the MPAA asleep?


I've counted 9 F-bombs so far and yet it has a PG-13 rating (one that doesn't even mention language). Yet Die Hard 4 couldn't use its catchphrase unless it was rated R.

Lame.

I noticed that too. Travolta's character, "Chili Palmer" states in "BE COOL" that you can only use the F-bomb once and still retain the PG-13 rating. He uses it in his demonstration exactly once and the film retained its PG-13 rating. MPAA was definitely asleep, I counted in excess of 20 f-bombs and probably 20+ *beep* Ally McBeal was definitely a potty mouth in this one.

The US version was edited (at least when it was supposed to hit the theaters, which was scrapped later); the original European version aka the US DVD you've watched is uncut, with all those F-words and some slightly gruesome images. Maybe the distributor forgot to put the "unrated" sticker on the DVD?

Maybe you saw the European version?

It's a Spanish production so maybe they sent to to Spain or europes classification board or they just bribed the mpaa. I mean how many people will watch a fangoria straight to dvd movie
