Mine was the first resident evil (lol). I saw it with a group of friends and we were all minors, around 12-13 years old and we never got carded.

Ah that stinker of a movie, fond memories of Mila kicking a zombie dog in mid-air.

    PG-13 didn’t exist until 1984, they introduced it because the PG rating was getting more violent. Once introduced PG became “general audiences”, G became “kids”, and PG-13 became “general audiences with guns”.

          AFAIK The Texas Chainsaw Massacre got an R rating, but the director was initially going for PG, which is why it’s so lacking in actual gore. Most of the blood seen in the film is from the lead actress cutting herself on accident when she stumbled through a thorn bush (the blood on her clothes in that chase scene is real).

          Movies that are PG that probably would be rated R if released today:

          • Jaws
          • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
          • Spaceballs (I think they even drop multiple F-bombs in this one lol)
          • Big
          • The Graduate
          • Eraserhead
          • Fritz the Cat
          • Airplane!
          • Beetlejuice
          • Top Gun
