One of the group's rules, for instance, says the F-bomb can be used as an expletive just once in a film rated PG-13, which means suitable for people 13 and older.
PG-13 movies are allowed one F-bomb -- so what are the BEST uses of the lone F-bomb in PG-13 movies? We compiled the best of the best and put them here for you to enjoy.
A noun, adjective, verb, filler verb — the F-bomb has evolved and been creatively utilized by screenwriters, actors, and directors like the iconic Quentin Tarantino, for decades. Generally reserved for R-rated projects, PG-13 movies are allowed a single use of the four-letter word.
the guidelines also add that if two-thirds of the ratings board members hold the view that multiple F-words are being used in a legitimate “context or manner” or are “inconspicuous,” the film is still eligible for its PG-13 rating. If you use the F-word with a sexual connotation, you are f*cked [immediate R-rating].
The ruling came to be that only one F-bomb could be used in a PG-13 movie, which meant that writers had to become more strategic when and if they placed it in a movie. This also meant that audiences would receive more iconic F-bomb moments in a film.
Snippets of language that go "beyond polite conversation" are permitted in G-rated films, but no stronger words are present. Profanity may be present in PG rated films, and use of one of the harsher "sexually-derived words" as an expletive will initially incur at least a PG-13 rating.
Like its 2018 predecessor that grossed more than $850 million worldwide, the Sony Pictures sequel weighed an R-rating but received a more tame PG-13 for "intense sequences of violence and action, some strong language, disturbing material and suggestive references." That "strong language" is in part to a final fight "F- ...
According to the MPAA's website: “A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating.”
A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating.
There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating.
Cursing is sometimes allowed but never to degrade or bully anyone, in or outside of the family. Some parents allow their tweens/teens to curse out of frustration, but forbid profanity-filled name calling. There is a big difference between cursing because you stubbed your toe and cursing at someone in a degrading way.
For many teens, swearing is a way of fitting in with peers and “trying out” adult behaviours, adds Arnall. “It tends to peak in the early teen years, and then diminishes as teens mature.” So don't worry that the newly expanded vocabulary of your 13-year-old daughter means she's doomed to a life as a potty mouth.
If your child says a bad or vulgar word to someone else – whether they know the meaning or not – explain to them this behavior is not acceptable. If they said a bad word to channel their anger, teach them to find more appropriate ways to express their feelings. Violence or foul language should be strongly discouraged.
Improvised by Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 features the first F-bomb to be uttered in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is definitely a film that's earned its PG-13 rating, pushing the boundaries of it by introducing the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first F-bomb.
Although Venom has some funny one-liners and the tone is light, it also has a lot of violence without real consequences, including torture. In fact, some of the scenes are more like something from a horror movie. This movie deserves its M rating and it isn't recommended for children under 13 years.
The violence isn't very INTENSE, but the film does deserve it's PG-13 rating. Bow and arrows are present, plus some killing and explosions -- still, nothing gets TOO over the top, and its still TWEEN and TEEN friendly. Also expect strong but INFREQUENT uses of s--t and one or two uses of f--k.
Actual sexuality in the movie is almost nil (one 30-second, pretty tame love scene). Most Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars covers were more titillating than the nudity in Avatar. I'd say age 8/9 on up will be old enough to see it (though you know your kids better than I do).
Children aged 5-11 years might swear to express emotions, get a reaction, or fit in socially. It's good to talk with children about swearing. They can understand that some words hurt or offend others.
Films rated PG13 is an advisory rating for parents to note there are scenes or themes unsuitable for younger children. However, there's no age restriction; so the parent can choose to allow or bring the child for the movie.
Intense or strong depictions of violence may be allowed. Gore must be brief and infrequently depicted. Sexual violence is not allowed unless implied or referenced. Depictions of blood are allowed if it isn't too gratuitous.
