PG? I could have sworn..


Correct if I'm wrong, but I could have sworn that this movie was PG when it came out; partly because it was before PG-13 (I remember Dreamscape being one of the first PG-13 movies). But when you watch this movie, it's hardly a PG movie.....input?

Agreed seems much more like a R rated movie, I don't know any other movie that has breasts more than once and then breasts again and be PG.

The sleeper has awakened!

The MPAA board must've been smoking pot when it came time to rate this... holy crap it's filled with nudity. Oh well, Tanya ROberts is hot.

WAS hot.........I'd pass now..........besides she was even hotter in Sheena: Queen of the Jungle.....come to think of it, I think that movie was PG13......She's FULLY NUDE in that.......I better go rent it again

Yeah, I was surprised too. Looking back, it seems like there was a short period of time when nudity didn't get rated nearly as high. Today you're not even very likely to see breasts in a PG-13 movie. I guess over time, standards flucuate depending on who occupies to MPAA board.

Of course it was PG. And it wasn't just a "short period of time" that nudity was allowed... It was practically routine for films in the 70s to have brief toplessness; sometimes with the tops violently torn off! (Outlaw Josey Wales, Billy Jack)
Contrary to rumor, the board has become generally more conservative over the years (except that the f word has become a routine part of PG-13 films).

And, on the other note, Sheena was also PG.

Vanishing Point (subsequently re-rated R very recently) included a long scene of female nudity. Comparable films are too numerous to list. Soldier Blue even included brief full nudity as part of a rape/massacre sequence with graphic violence, but still got away with a PG due to its historical content. Back then, the board seemed more worried about eroticism and sex. If something wasn't part of a bedroom love scene, topless nudity seemed okay. Even if you follow the series like the James Bond films, you'll find the Spy Who Loved Me containing overt toplessness. And the Pink Panther films - one of the inferior 80s sequels added the same. Smokey and the Bandit - part 3 includes skin. The list is too numerous to provide; Logan's Run, Looker, etc. etc.

It's shocking that people's memories are such that the scene in Titanic was even worth mentioning... Ragtime, Airplane (both films), Cold Sweat, Moving Violation (the 70s car chase film), etc. etc.

I've got the DVD that was released relatively recently here in Australia, and here it's rated M. (Meaning anyone who wants to see it should be either 15 or over in age, or have someone with them who is.)


You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
