Good questions but not what we're here for today, instead we're going to take a look at the trailer for the 1982 version of the film vs the first promo for the 2015 take."
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
"What remains frankly stunning is that the 1982 original managed to secure a PG rating in the States, after Spielberg leaned on the MPAA."
Is there proof of Spielberg doing such a thing? I only found one source: an IMDB claim that isn't cited. The reality of the day is that many, many films were PG because it meant Parental Guidance. Those films would garner an R rating today.
The following films were PG: Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Airplane, Gremlins, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Rocky, Jaws, American Graffiti, Invasion of the Body Snatchers...etc.
The point is, PG films back then were considered inappropriate for young children.
