Terminator 2 Rated R
Is it me, or have the ratings really skewed the last few years. Can you imagine T2 being released today, exactly the same movie it was when it first came out and not getting a PG-13 rating?

No. I still think T2 would be R. Things have changed---but not that much. Sarah Connor? Atomic bomb? Flesh blown off her bones??
|
The Sci-Fi channel still edits out the T-1000's sword kills. This is still a pretty hard "R".
The original Matrix on the other hand.. |
T2 is a moderate R, even by today's standards. As pointed out, The Matrix was much closer to a PG-13.
|
T3 got an R rating in 2003, and it really was no more violent than T2.
|
Isn't the rating system stricter now? I mean if it was released now they'd get an nc-17 and they'd have to recut it to get an R. Like X2, where the truth lies, and bunch of other movies.
|
I would still give T2 an R rating as well.
|
lukewarmwater: X2 was cut from NC-17? :lol: Show me a source!
Also, ratings have only gotten stricter when it comes to some sexual content; violence, on the other hand, is getting more extreme within the same ratings. |

Even if you think the violence was PG-13 level, it still had quite a few f-bombs that would be enough to get it an R.
|
I think there will be a day when a movie like T2 will be PG-13. Just look at how Young Guns was R and Young Guns II was PG-13 for the exact same content. Times are changing.

Would this get an R today?
Hmm... Xander Berkeley's death scene alone would merit it. |
The sword finger through the eye would have got it an R, no doubt.
|
It's still an R level film in my opinion. But I think it's aok for teens to view it:)
|
I mean, the language ALONE would be enough for T2 to get a R rating. And the violence would get T2 a R rating.
No way in any time was T2 going to get a pg-13. |

Yeah, I watched T2 recently and was suprised by how many F-bombs were dropped. Movies that shouldn't be R that are I would suggest The Matrix, Sleepy Hollow, and Road to Perdition.
|
T3 is a funny one, I thought the British 12A/12 rating was ludicrous - OK most of the killings happen off screen and the violence is mostly robot on robot, but I wasnt expecting that many F words in a 12 rated film.
I think the UK 15 for Matrix was about right. |
also, the original cut of the matrix cut out all of the headbutts, but the bbffc just recently released it uncut with a 15.
|
What's up with the cutting out of headbutts?
