MPAA Rating (Note: Officially PG-13)

[Darth Elektra]

What do you guys think Ghost riders rating will be? R or Pg-13?
Do you guys think it will have Nudity?
We all know that Mark wanted DD to be rated R,it was the studio that cut it down to a pg-13 rating!

 

[totalpackage59]

I think you'll find that this has been discussed in another thread & the rating is PG13

Darth????


But anyways, Marvel and MSJ have said that it will be PG-13 and they no that now so they film a PG-13 movie not an R and ppl get upset.

 

[FlameHead]

A movie doesn't have to be R to be good, even a Ghost Rider one. I have complete faith in a PG-13.

 

[Kuato]

Yeah Dude I wish there was nudity too( Ahhh...Eva) and if any comic based flick could really deliver an R rating it would be Ghost Rider but MSJ has stated that it will be PG-13. That's cool though I have faith in the project. There are too many other awesome factors to get worked up over the rating. Of course I heard a rumour that a love scene between Cage and Mendes was cut out, though I don't know if it was filmed or cut out of the script prior to filming. Though in every aspect I would imagine this film will push the limits of the PG-13 rating.

I'm happy that there is no needless love scene in this flick. You can do everything you wanna do to express the love and emotion between 2 characters without having a love scene. Yes, Eva is lovely to look at but we can all use our imaginations for what her birthday suit looks like... though I doubt we'd ever see any nudity anyway.

 

[Kuato]

No love scene that involves Eva would ever be needless

But yeah...

 

[Triligors]

Love scene pushing PG-13 limit?

You see alot of PG-13 films? Fog had a steamy love scene (pun intended). Daredevil had a love scene. All Bond films have love scenes.

So, a love scene pushing PG-13 limits?

Not in the slightest, unless you're talking about seeing private parts and using the kamasatra- otherwise no love scene would constitute PG-13 as well as it was arfully presented. By artfully, I mean in a way in which we know what is happening but can't really see anything.

 

[FlameHead]

You do remember that the love scene in DareDevil was removed in the far superior directors cut right? Why, because it was never intended to be a love story between Elektra and DD and wouldn't have been if the studio didn't want to turn it into that.

Nudity or not, I really don't think a love scene is needed in Ghost Rider. It would do nothing to progress the story, which as everyone knows is about Johnny Blaze and the struggle with the demon inside.

 

[Kuato]

When I said that I thought that Ghost Rider would push the limits of the PG-13 rating I was not talking about nudity or love scenes...just that the movie will be as "hardcore" as possible in terms of overall content. Like Batman Begins was very dark and scary and surprisingly violent for a PG-13 rated film.

 

[FlameHead]

Ah, now I gotcha. I'm sure that we'll see some pretty hardcore stuff, especially when GR is facin' off against the demons. He is a brutal character and I'm faithful that they'll show that in the best way possible.

 

[Darth Elektra]

I just want GR,to be Dark,Viloent,And Hard Core!

 

[Darth Elektra]

Ah, now I gotcha. I'm sure that we'll see some pretty ######## stuff, especially when GR is facin' off against the demons. He is a brutal character and I'm faithful that they'll show that in the best way possible.

Exactly!

I don't know about anyone else, but I would be kinda pissed if it was rated R. Let's not forget that Ghost Rider doen't kill humans. (There was that one time, but that was an accident.) but I'm sure the demon on demon action will be pretty intense, as I don't think the MPAA had much trouble with non-human violence. (i.e. AVP) I read they goyer script, and my biggest complaint was the excessive violence. And as much as I'd love to see it, a sex scene has no place in a movie about a demon biker from hell. But most importantly, we want as many people to see this as possible right? The more people see it, the more likley we are to get sequels, new comics, games ect... and an R rating would make it hard for some people to see it. Ummm.... I guess that's all I have to say.

ps. Not to sound like a perv, but in regards to the Eva birthday suit comment, check out Training Day. It's short, but wonderfull.....

I know what your saying,I want a sequel to,Its just I want the movie to stay true.

Yep,you got that right,short but sweet...

 

[FlameHead]

I've seen Training Day but I can't remember the part you're speakin' of... so I'm going to go rent it right now!! I kid, I kid. I'm sure I've had some really nice dreams after seeing it and that will have to suffice.

 

[Darth Elektra]

The "part" is more towards the end,like 3/4 of the movie's done gone by,It's not that long compared to other scene's.

 

[Mr. Freeze]

I hate to sounds like an ******* here but oh well here it goess


Now iam a big fan of Ghost Rider.. not ad big as Flamehead or some of the others on these boards but i do have to say one thing

whetre you like it or not Ghost Rider is not gonnna make Spider-man,X-men or Fantasttic Four type numbers..so i thinkl they should try and push for an r rating anyways because pg 13 is not gonna help a movie like this make 200 mil

 

[U.S War Machine]

it will get a 2 star rating

Actually an R rating will restrict a lot of people from getting to see the movie and therefor will hinder it from makin' a lot of moola. Half the reason why they want it PG 13 is to open in up to a broader audience.

"Ghost Rider is not gonnna make Spider-man,X-men or Fantasttic Four type numbers"


Now I'll grant you the fact that it is not gonna make $300 to $400 million I.E Spider Man and it may not make as much as X2. But it absolutely has a fantastic chance to make more than the turd that was Fantastic Four. I mean let's think about it...Fantastic Four was a bad movie that had negative press leading up to its release and had mediocre word of mouth and no real stars to speak of yet still managed to snag $154 million domestically. Which is shocking for a movie that bad.

Ghost Rider has Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Peter Fonda and what would appear to be a very nice supporting cast. Ghost Rider has plenty of time to have FX be completed, editing etc. etc. Add in that Sony Pictures flat out knows what to do with superhero properties (See Spider-Man and Hellboy) and I think you certainly have a recipe for success. Especially if X3 turns out as bad as many are fearing and depending on what happens with Superman then Ghost Rider could very easily be one of the biggest movies of next summer.

Well I dont think that many people think that X-e is going to turn out bad,but unless the superman trailer is good,I probably wont see Superman! Ghost Rider needs to move back to august,so it wont have to play with POTC2. But yes Ghost Rider could end up in the top 10 easy! top 5,I personally dont think so,because of X-3 and POTC,plus MI3 and The Da vinco code.

 

[Kuato]

I don't know man...if you read the news items or the boards at sites like Chud.com or Joblo.com and AICN there certainly seems to be a general feeling that if X3 turns out good it would be more surprising than if it turns out to be a ****ty movie. I mean you know Brett Ratner is directing it and that it is being RUSHED through production right? Also if you believer the rumours half the reason X3 is being rushed is just so Fox can get it out before Superman and stick it Singer.

I have posted this before...but there really was some interesting discussions about the subject here:

http://chud.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85482


Mission Impossible 3 could really go either way as well...despite the first two films success the overall quality of the films could be debated and is anybody really clamoring for another sequel? And when will the whole Crazy Tom thing come back to bite Cruise? I agree with you on POTC and The DaVinci Code...those are guaranteed blockbusters.

A movie doesn't have to be R to be good, even a Ghost Rider one. I have complete faith in a PG-13.

Actually the PG-13 rating hurts my expectations a little bit. Some movies-despite being based on comic books & surrounding costumed characters-should not be made family friendly. I wouldn't want a PG-13 Punisher or Crow movie, for example. I still think that was their biggest mistake w/"Spawn". They watered it down & it just went nowhere. And there's no need for it. Kids don't read "Ghost Rider". I won't let my kids read Ghost Rider. It's a mature theme & should be handled accordingly.
