PG-13?
Hi, just curious why this film is rated PG-13. Violence I can imagine, any sex/language? I know the Magnificent Seven was also rated (on re-release) PG-13, though I have NO IDEA why!
shareim watching it right now. there is really no language, there are some suggestive scenes but nothing really bad. It is violent, but most westerns are.
share...but nothing really bad.
Man, am I out of sync with people these days! When Marin Landau gets his street justice applied with a knife in the guts, for which he issues a tortured scream, I find that to be rather personal and strong. Also the six-gun torture (shooting Karl Malden character in both kneecaps) to be like a porno-reel of violence. It's just obsessive interest in violence for prurient interest. (prurient may not be in our language anymore)
But yeah the film also takes place in the heads of 1966 people, so you won't see or hear the really bad language and graphic head-busting violence of a Tarantino movie.
I would call it very violent if only for he scene where Arthur Kennedy is whipped and in the film's opening, when Max's Indian mother has a knife glide along her back.
