VF-19 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I'm pretty sure X was part of an older rating system which was (I think) G, PG, R and X. Kubrick's Sparticus I think was rated X because of naked gusy taking baths together (It was Rome...). At some point they added PG-13 and I think replaced X with NC-17. PG-13 was made because of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Spielburg didn't want the movie to have a PG rating, but at the same time he didn't want it to have an R rating. He went to the MPAA and asked for an inbetween, which came into being as PG-13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent ONE Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Saw it last night... it was great! It really had this 70's ultra-violence theme that reminded me of Golgo 13... and of course the guy who played G13 was in the movie. I can't wait for part 2.

Dragon Lord Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Did anyone figure out that the bald guy working in the sushi place was none other than Space Sheriff Gavan? Kenji Oba I think. And YES it was him acting along side Sonny Chiba!! That was so cool. You're right! I thought he looked familiar! I love this movie, QT is a genius. My wife's reaction was pretty much the same as WMCheng's wife's though. Guess I'm going to see part 2 by myself. Joe P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the anime character's rings and sword, they are the same as Bill's. They are drawn with emphasis for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSW Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 On the American movie rateings topic... Our rateings system was enacted in late 1969 early 1970 due in no small part to films like Easy Rider...up to that point films did NOT have rateings...the first X rated film was Midnight Cowboy which also won best picture oscar in 1970 (to be fair the film garnered a X then but would likey get a PG-13 if released as is today, the film rateings board was very critical back then when the system was first introduced) At first there were G, PG, R, and X rateings...and shortly after the indroduction of the rateings system the X rateing started to have a nasty stigma attached (as in X = porn...course porn films like Deep Throat sorta proved the point) and filmakers started trying to avoid makeing X rated type films (which opened up the porn industry to exploit the extream ends of the rateing system...rateing thier own films with the XXX (triple X) rateing which the film rateing board doesn't officaly endorse) This was all good and fine until Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...the film was originaly released with a PG rateing...but because of public and political outcries over the depiction of whipping and beating of children in the film, the dinner scene, and overal violence level in the film...the PG-13 rateing was created as a inbetween rateing of PG and R...This happened AFTER the film was released in theaters, look at any of the original movie posters and promotional material...the PG rateing is shown clearly...Also if you do a search through newspaper archives from the time of it's original release you will find news stories about the rateings situation and proposed solutions....Temple of Doom was re-rated PG-13 for it's video release, not the first time Spielburg and Lucas went back and changed things in thier films. NC-17 came about because of a emergeing film genre following the success of flicks like Basic Instinct...The X rateing had gotten such a stigma from the porn industry that theaters were unwilling to show films with such a rateing, that and most movie goers associated a rateing boards X rateing with the porn industries XXX rateing...so a "inbetween" rateing was crafted to fit between R and X...and eventualy X was dropped all together...G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17 now make up our rateings starndards with most films being relsead each year with a PG or PG-13 rateing. To be completely honest, the film review board that designates these rateings is largely political in nature...not politics as in our government kind...but buisness style politics largely controls the decision process...foriegn films are usualy rated more harshly then domestic ones, and films that challange or question the status qoe are typicaly rated against higher standards too...this in turn can effect not only the box office potential of a film (as some poeople are very senseitive in selecting "properly rated films" for thier families to enjoy, and a lot of other stupid stuff) but it also effect the effort a film recieves in promotion and availability in theaters...a R rated Cowboy BeBop film isn't going to get prefered treatment from most mainstream advertiseing markets, etc...but a R rated live action film with "name" stars would get better treatment, and a PG live action film with "name" stars would get even better treatment *treatment = willingness of TV and radio markets to play the commercials, trailers, display the posters, etc...)

ComicKaze Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Okay, I saw Kill Bill in a University Theatre recentely (missed the original theatrical run) and they cut the film right after the "Directed by Quentin Tarantino" credit. I know there was extra stuff either during or after the credits as an epilogue but I never got to see it. Can somebody tell me what it was?

Jolly Rogers Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 They moved the cliffhanger scene from after the credits to right before the credits for the theatrical run, so you didn't miss anything - the cliffhanger was after the credits for the version shown to critics.

Too bad that the Bride figure is a Be@rbrick and not a Kubrick. I hope that Be@rbrick is a sign that a couple sets of Kill Bill Kubricks are coming, that would make my day.

Anubis Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The artwork for the Vol. 1 R1 DVD is kind of weak considering the other images they could have used. Can't wait for it to come out though anyway, and then Vol. 2 in the theater that weekend. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
