It is all edited down to G rated 50's tv level and all the violence is offscreen. Grisly imagery is deleted,the finale is in black & white pretty much with scenes cropped to obscure severed limbs. There is nothing left in the R rated version. Thus it should be rated R for violence and some language/sexual references. But an 'abundance of outrageous gore'? NOPE!

I always enjoy Comic Mischief, and I kept my eyes open during "Shrek 2" for that brief drug reference they warned me about.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)
Rated R for demented mayhem and torture, and for strong language.
(I'm sure it was the strong language that pushed it over the top and got it the R-rating)
Batman & Robin (1997)
Rated PG-13 for strong stylized action and some innuendos.
(Innuendos? Is this that "Batman and Robin are actually gay" thing again?)

Bat-nipples = innuendo?

I'm particularly fond of this one...
Title: About Schmidt (2001)
Rating: R
Rating Reason: Rated R for some language and Kathy Bates' naked ass.
...at least that's what it should read

Haven't seen The Aviator, but noticed one of the reasons for its rating was "a crash scene."

A little vague, yes, but that is one hell of a crash scene. To quote Scorsese: "Adrenaline rushes I can do." Amen.
