THis movie should have been rated R

Because they show the main girl completely naked in the last part. Usually that warrants an R rating. I remember my parents renting this movie when we were kids. We watched it cause they didn't think anything with a PG-13 rating could be too much for us. They pretty much freaked when that last part happened. Pretty funny, I thought.

Buddy, it seems pretty unlikely that a kid would last long enough into this film to catch that. I caught it on TV today and found it quite boring. That woman's bush appearing unexpectedly on-screen near the end was about the only fun thing that had happened basically since the first scene with the metal-head who was dating the lead guy's daughter. Anyway, I think there's something wrong with the world where pubic hairs on camera can cause people's heads to explode. At most there could have been some small disclaimer about nudity on the back cover, and I'm guessing there probably was.

He was a punk rocker,

a metalhead. Metalheads would not have had that kind of hairstyle.

This movie, "Dreamscape," and "Sheena" are great examples of the MPAA working out the kinks of the new PG-13 rating in 1984. I just looked up their release dates, and they all came out the weekend of August 17, 1984. How 'bout that.

Sheena was rated PG. The first PG-13 movies were Red Dawn, Dreamscape and The Woman in Red. The MPAA was more selective about applying the PG-13 in 1984. Most movies that would be an automatic PG-13 today got PGs in 1984.
Sheena (nudity), All of Me (sexual innuendos up the wazoo), A Soldier's Story (multiple uses of the "F" word) all were PGs. Even then I was amazed A Soldier's Story got a PG and not an R.

I'd forgotten "Sheena" was PG, not PG-13. Imagine seeing that with your parents as a "family-friendly" film.
"The Temple of Doom" was rated PG, as were "Gremlins" and "Ghostbusters," but "Temple" and "Gremlins" definitely led to the PG-13 rating being created. Even "Return of the Jedi" a year earlier contained a special warning about the intensity of its violence, I think, so the MPAA was probably already contemplating a new rating. And let's not forget the nightmarish images contained in the climax of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in '81, or "Poltergeist" in '82. -

Forget about shielding children's eyes from the nudity. Shield their EARS so they don't have to hear the horrible dialogue.
Talk about a movie that should be watched without the sound.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was originally rated R but Spielberg added some smoke effects to the exploding heads sequence at the end, and got a PG.
Poltergeist was also rated R but (I think) re-rated PG on appeal. No cuts were made (but I could be wrong).
Jaws, I think, was R as well. Spielberg did some editing to get the PG.
Most movies that were PGs in 1984, when PG-13 was created, would be PG-13 today. Even "Splash," the first Touchstone release, would get a PG-13 for nudity. And Romancing the Stonewho can forget the alligator scene at the end?

i can confirm through literally thousands of attempts to pause my betamax machine - we've got bush - to steal a line from ROTN.
I was only 11 at the time
mark this down as the only pg or pg-13 movie that ever did. -

Wrong.
John Hughes' Sixteen Candles had completely non-accidental full body female nudity, profanity, drug use, and the climax was a rape

About a year ago I was going back down childhood memory lane, Sixteen Candles crossed my mind, and I had to admit I had to check out IMDb to convince myself this indeed was just a PG movie at the time.
But I went back and checked out Woman In Red. It will be interesting if this ever is released in 1080p Blu-ray, as watching closely, well, not only can spot the obvious bush
But you can ever make out some meat curtains!
