A pg 13 movie can use the word "fuck" exactly once. More than once and it's an r rating (appropriate for 17+). I believe this has been the case in the almost forty years since pg-13 was introduced.
- Ukv 4y agoRecord for PG-13 movies is apparently Gunner Palace with 42 uses of "fuck". But more to the point, Youtube is not the MPAA. The documentary seems to comply to Youtube's publicly given rules more so than a huge number of other unrestricted videos, which makes the restriction unexpected.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoThe standards for MPAA ratings have changed dramatically with time. PG used to actually mean Parental Guidance, it wasn't just an initialism that meant "family friendly" in effect. Take Logan's Run (1976) for instance, that got a PG rating. It has orgy scenes and frontal nudity, if released today it would get an R rating easily.
- rightbyte 4y ago> It has orgy scenes It was a long time ago I watched it, but weren't the orgies just implied?

I picked up Airplane! because I had seen it on afternoon TV a few times, and it was rated PG. Fun for the whole family! Grandma and I found out that day that TV networks edited out full frontal nudity.
