The MPAA ratings are in. Immortals gets an R for sequences of strong bloody violence and a scene of sexuality while Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance gets a PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence and some disturbing images and language.
Exactly. Everything I had seen and heard from the directors really indicated an R rating. All signs were pointing to it. Definitely weird that it didn't work out that way.
I don't see the studio making them cut it back to PG-13, cause they put it under the Marvel Knights label. And they knew the history of the directors. Maybe they just were able to "dupe" the MPAA and skate by...?
I thought this second Ghost Rider was going to end up with an R rating when they started out.....I wonder what happened?
That's honestly what I think happened. Neveldine/Taylor would have been vocal if Sony wouldn't allow them to make THEIR cut of the film.
It must have just sort of worked.
