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! -

well a couple of issues with the response
first the full-frontal shot is at an angle where it's basically just topless..
second I've got some issue with the last scene being "and the climax was a rape"
both parties were drunk.. she claimed to have remembered and enjoyed it the next morning. I think it's a bit of an unfair criticism I mean it's easy to say that and of course many will coming running in agreement, but think about how many rapes we have if we consider that rape.. hard to say it's non-consensual when they wake up in the morning, kiss, and start a relationship. I MEAN SHE'S THE ONE THAT CONFIRMS THAT THEY DID IT BECAUSE HE doesn't remember!!!! Not to mention we have nothing deep into the wee hours of the night in terms of movie you figure the party ended at what time? midnight-ish hits the town and takes the photos around 1am?,.,, then they wake up at 9:30-10:00 who's to say how many hours went by they could have had sex at 6AM and she could have been more coherent than he was by that time just sayin'
besides Ted's actions and personality just doesn't fit the insinuation he's too shy to be like that.. he actually shows genuine concern for her well-being in all of those scenes.. maybe he shouldn't have had sex with her BUT character-wise SHE would have been the aggressor let's just say he wasn't drinking anymoreeven though he seemed like he was just starting to drink the martini and two-three beers on screen after jake saved him from being under the table maybe he didn't 'fight her off' to stop her from making a move on him, but character-wise she would have been the aggressor she was experienced - he was a virgin.
don't get me wrong i have an intimate understanding and true sensitivity towards the subject, but always get a little bent when people say this about this film. -

Actually I agree it should've been rated R. Know why? Let's just say at the end when Kelly LeBrock's character finds out her better half comes home, we find out the carpet matches the drapes. Couldn't put it any other way.

I'm sure it WOULD be rated R today, but it shouldn't be. We need to scale back the ratings to that family stuff gets a G instead of PG, and PG-13 actually means there is mature content. I was just old enough to see this when it first came out and it didn't warp me at all.
Believe it or not, ratings in the early 80's made more sense than they do now. We're a bunch of freaks now. -

The thing that surprises me is they left the obvious shot that everyone's referring to that would've given this an R today in since it was pretty clearly an accident (or at least unintentional.) I can think of two explanations: Either they didn't want to go through the trouble of reshooting and Kelly LeBrock didn't think it was that big of a deal, or Kelly LeBrock developed an exhibitionist streak and WANTED to leave it in (and possibly even let it happen on purpose.)

"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins" were the films that proposed the PG-13 rating. They were released PG with disclaimers saying "This film may be too intense for younger children." A few months later, "The Flamingo Kid" was indeed the first film to be rated PG-13, but the film got shelved and wasn't released until December '84. So, "Red Dawn" was the first PG-13 film to be released.
But actually, "Return of the Jedi" was what really sparked the MPAA into thinking about another rating. "Jedi" also carried that "too intense" disclaimer. And I remember some news shows saying that "Jedi" was more violent this time around.

Actually "Poltergeist" and "Gremlins" got the MPAA thinking about the PG-13. In fact I heard "Poltergeist" WAS R rated but Spielberg appealed the rating and won. "Indiana Jones" WAS way too extreme for the PG but not strong enough for an R. The same applies to this movie. Reallywas the quick female nudity at the enough to give this an R? I don't think so. My sister saw it when she was 12 and she didn't grow up to be a sex addict or homicidal maniac! In fact she found the film "silly" and "stupid". She never even commented on the nudity.

It was the pulling out of the heart that inspired the PG-13 rating in Indiana Jones.
I think movie ratings are a joke. But even worse is when they try to list why with all the lame reasoning. Mild Violence? Yawn. That just means there's fighting. What f* *king prude needs to know that????
