Basicaly, NC-17 is almost a porn movie. An R rated movie doesn't go that far.



You use to many rating is Australia. Thats to many to remember!

Well ya gotta remember that E, P & C are all TV ratings, not movie ratings, and X is strictly for videos.



Oh, and RC never gets shown anyway.



So that's lets see, 5 ratings.



Maybe we're just smarter than you. :P



But those 5 ratings do make it easier to decide. Have a deep, philosophical think about it. You'll soon see it from our point of view.

UHF is rated M here, or at least it was when it was released on video. Probably be PG if it was re-released.

Where'd ya find that out? It wasn't even on OFLC! Anyway... DANGIT!



That's another thing... our ratings are set up by the government, and yours (americans) are just run by a group of people. That means our government is more dedicated to the people!, or at least in some WAYs.

I saw the case for the video on an eBay auction, and before that I saw it on the IMDB, and it's still there to this day.

On the UHF DVD, Al is wearing this brown hawaiian shirt in the special features menu. He's wearing the same shirt in the movie in the part where Al is throwing grapes into Dave's mouth.

Nice to know he can still wear it.



The shirt that he wore on the GH1 cover also shows up in the Elaine scenes that got cut. I love that shirt. Seems like I read that it is one of the ones that was auctioned at one of the Alcons.

I think that rating system actually makes more sense than ours. Gives you a better idea of what to expect. And on the UHF commentary, Al said the PG came from the Emo Phillips thumb bit and one other bit I can't remember offhand. Hey, I just woke up, and even though I watched UHF before I went to bed last night, I still can't remember.
Hmmm...something's gone horribly awry here...

The other thing the ratings people had a problem with was Raul throwing poodles out of the window. Hehehehe.

I still don't understand the ratings on UHF...Sixteen Candles? That OTHER movie with Gedde Wattanabe? Yeah...that managed to use the F WORD more than once, have several PG-13 worthy scenes for Adult Content alone, and get a PG RATING!!



I'm convinced these people have no idea what they are doing...Most of the stuff in "American Pie" or its sequels doesn't belong at an R...maybe an R advanced...:P



Crazy, crazy, and more crazy...



ttyl all!
