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?

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..

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.

lukewarmwater: X2 was cut from NC-17? 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.

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.
They had to cut out the Rogue, Storm, Jean Gray 30 minute lesbian threesome scene.

No way in any time was T2 going to get a pg-13.

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.
