[QUOTE="ReshiIRE, post: 8463406, member: 7031231"] I am not an American, but since rating systems can be compared over here: I can see an argument that Indiana Jones' last scene might push it to be a 12 or even 15 rated movie (mostly for the ark scene alone), I don't see why Star Wars would be PG-13. The violence outside of the arm cutting scene is very tame. This does raise the question of ratings and what is acceptable at a certain 'rating' these days however. Ireland doesn't have anything like NC-17 or the highest rating, where as I understand the move becomes VERY difficult to market or release; 18 is the highest rating, but those movies do well (mostly because what would be rated R in the US would typically end up rated 18 over here). What have I have observed, however, is that some older movies that would have been rated 18 in the past (at-least by my reckoning) have been getting lower ratings. E.g., I'm fairly sure the movie Terminator (despite some disturbing scenes) would be rated 15 nowadays, and I think there is a general observation to make nowadays that you [I]can[/I] get away with more being going up to an 18. I'm not sure if that's a unique thing when it comes to Irish film rating in particular (since Irish ratings are distinct from the rest of Europe, in the way that, say, game ratings etc. are not), but it's an observation that I think may 'track' with me rating the campaign I have played in (as well as the ones I'm planning) as PG-13 (probably equivalent of 12 or 16 over here) despite very gratitous cursing and potentially containing some violent enough scenes.
