how about the topless shot halfway through this PG movie?! it feels like there is a lot of content they would never achieve that rating with today.
Ski Patrol, Police Academy 2, and Airplane the list goes on for 80s movies with a single brief topless shot.
I'd argue the self-aware humor of Airplane was really calling out stereotypes like the one pictured, and defusing tensions with humor. Now Revenge of the Nerds, there's a problematic movie.
dude, lets just rape some people or otherwise sexually assault them and call it good-natured fun!
Breaking and entering into a sorority, barging into private rooms and house showers/bathrooms, stealing property, and installing hidden cameras in their rooms in order to casually spy on them while they are naked, sleeping, etc. Capturing images of the sorority girls naked, making hundreds of copies of those images, and sharing them with the entire campus to win a school-sponsored competition for a student government seat. Raping a woman while sharing said porn of her and her friends with the entire student body. Said woman then falls in love with her rapist. All played for laughs and zero consequences for any of it. An 80's hit! Make 3 more sequels of it!
Is this seriously the fucking movie? What the fuck??
It was the 80s. Things like rape and pedophilia weren't taken seriously.
You forgot the scene where one of the nerds wears a mask and pretends to be another person in order to sleep with the hot chick. Definitely not sexual assault!
No, I mentioned the rape.
Your right. It's not.
That's rape.
That's the rape.
AND when she learns it wasn't her boyfriend, she dumps her boyfriend and starts dating the rapist because the rape felt so good.
It's disgusting.
Don't you think they just put that in there to warn us all? That with information technology transforming the world like no-one ever imagined, even the best nerds still aren't without their flaws. Like Jobs or McAfee
Same for American Pie btw
"Credit" where it is due, at least there was no rape in American Pie. But, yes, other sex crimes played for laughs.
I remember the first bit but not the rape?
It's toward the end, he's wearing like a Darth Vader mask or something and let's her think he's her boyfriend while he fucks her. That's rape.
Oh shit yeah I forgot about that part. It's been probably 10 or 15 years since I've seen it. I thought the panty raid and hidden cameras were bad, but damn, that movie did not age well.
From 2010, Hot Tub Time Machine had a short but delightful topless seen that was absolutely sexual
NSFW

Frankly a plain topless shot is not in my opinion grounds for anything heavier than a PG rating
Completely agree with you. If a man can show his nipples and it's fine, why can't women. It is sexism and misogyny.
Come to Canada. We made it legal for women to be topless in public based on that exact logic.
Solution: Photoshop man nipples on women breasts. Nobody can get offended now!
Oh someone will still be offended, because they didnt get to see woman boobs
When rated R movies were RATED TITTY FUCKING R.
Airplane was released in 1980, before the PG-13 rating existed. I’m not sure how the film would be rated today, but I’d wager it would not hit PG standards without significant edits.
Basically the TV edit. They cut out the boobs but left the blowjob gag.
I think you can still maintain a PG-13 rating as long as the boobs shown are not directly sexualized and they only appear in one shot or scene.
Titanic and Across the Universe are two examples.
That preceded the PG-13 rating.
PG movies back then had more swearing and brief nudity like that scene in airplane was fairly common.
Stuff like that is why PG-13 came about. American parents didn't like it when their children saw two frames of boobs in a movie.
