bigblu89 11/10/22 10:05:17 AM #3:	Back then, R ratings were more based on vulgar language than suggestive content, nudity, or violence.

masterpug53 11/10/22 10:05:44 AM #4:	Brief nudity could sometimes skirt under an 'R' rating in the days before PG-13 - Sixteen Candles is another example off the top of my head. Later, Titanic managed to stay PG-13 despite the nudity. I'm guessing these examples managed to wiggle under an R rating by keeping the nudity non-sexual - the nudity in Airplane! is pure absurdist comedy, Sixteen Candles just has Molly Ringwald gawking jealously at the popular girl while she's in the shower, and Titanic probably got away with the nudity being artistic in nature. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read https://imgur.com/1WshTZu - by DB_Insider https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - by Wii_Shaker <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:969328592] in How is Air...

Shadowplay 11/10/22 11:44:39 AM #23:	The reason is that up until the early 2000s you could briefly show nudity in PG-13 movies without it going to R, and the same rule applied to PG movies before the PG-13 rating existed.
