Jaws is only rated PG?

This seems crazy to me. I can't think of a movie that scared more people with a PG rating. Would it be rated R if it came out today?

It would be PG-13 but that didn't exist yet

Violent movies are as American as apple pie, as long as they're little or no secks involved.

Wasn't Grease PG as well?

PG-13 didn't exist until parents complained about Temple of Doom...Red Dawn was then slapped with a PG-13 rating.

Look at the movies of that time period. Go look at the ratings of some movies like bad news bears (jews, spi**,n******,etc) and laugh at the ratings. That was a kids movie rated PG lol

Yes. Jaws is rated PG, and there is actually full frontal nudity in it.

Airplane was rated PG. ?? I listened to a podcast about the MPAA and how twisted and corrupt it actually is. The whole rating game is just a way to get movies into theaters. There is no actual rule that any of these movies have to be rated but the production studios risk the theaters not showing their film if there is no rating. And as long as no nudity is involved, they can be pretty damn violent and still get a PG-13 rating.

thats always been the most fricked up thing about the ratings system.
its pretty insane that they somehow consider boobs to be far more offensive than people getting shot the frick up.

PG-13 ruined so much....films avoided it as soon as the rating came out...just like they avoided X...so to accommodate and all the bad connotation's it carried, despite just being a rating higher than R - as you could have very violent movies with no nudity, rated X and therefore unreleasable, so the MPAA invented NC-17.
After that, films became all-in on PG or strictly R. The nanufactured middle ground became unacceptable to studios.

wasn't it when the girl at the beginning went skinny dipping?
I guess I know the answer now that I sounded it out but they show an underwater shot thaT caused the tracking on our original VHS tape to get screwed up.

It blows my mind that the original bad news bears was rated pg. n-bombs, f-bombs, all sorts of bombs were dropped in that glorious movie.

This was the case in the 90s. I remember being a little kid in that decade seeing all these cool TV spots for movies I wanted to see. Most of them ended up being R and my parents were the type that would sit through a PG-13 movie before deciding whether it was right for me to see it.
The rating for these films were either G, PG, or R. PG-13 didn't seem to start being used consistently until the late-90s.

It was this new weird thing...with a Scarlett letter - the early 90's were the fruition.... Studios didn't know what to do and were afraid teens couldn't carry films...different today.
But they did go Puritan, what used to be PG went stupid....with a rating nobody wanted. They wanted all audience's or just adults.
.
I think it helped ruin movies by making everything geared toward children and all comic book movies. Teens use to watch Jaws, now they watch the Fantastic Four.

Yep, I don't get it either. You can have a guy's head get blown away in a PG-13 movie...but as soon as they show a pair of boobs, R R R R R!

crazy how the ratings were back then. I ran across Logan's Run the other day. watched the last half of the movie and there were tits and arse all over the screen. It was rated PG.
