Don Coscarelli's The Beastmaster

Being one of my favorite movies I watch this thing like on a regular basis, however I have always wondered why this movie got a PG rating? I mean there is nudity in it!

Monkeys don't count.

It was before PG-13 was a rating, which is what it probably would have gotten. 16 Candles also had nudity and was PG before PG 13. Quick nudity used to be OK for PG.

yeah, makes sense..i forgot about the pg-13 rating thing..thanks

Now I think any nudity will get an R, but I'm not certain.

I think that's pretty much it. I also think to get away with nudity in a film, you have to have the backing of a major studio. I don't think the nudity in Titanic would've gotten a pass in a small independant film, but with a major studio it gets by ok.
