re: Jaws is only rated PG?

This is America.

Sex/ adult themes - R rated
Cursing - R Rated
Bloody violence - approved for all audiences

It really has ruined an entire genre of movies that are now toned down to get that PG-13 rating that were once R. Think of these movies today, and how they'd have been toned down to drop the R and get the PG-13:

Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Terminator/T2
Alien/Aliens
Robocop
Predator
Road Warrior (granted, they did do a remake and went R here...)
Beverly Hills Cop

And so on, and so on, and so on...

Adults actually used to have movies geared towards them...and kids simply had to either sneak in or wait a few years to enjoy them.

Honestly, this is what made seeing Deadpool so damned enjoyable this weekend. Here was a movie that SHOULD HAVE BEEN a hard R and WAS. They didn;t tone it down to get the PG-13, ruining the character in order to get what they perceive would be a wider audience. They made the movie the way it should have been made and trusted the right audience would show up.
