Explicit Scenes in Space Balls:

"Explicit" Scenes in Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8631ukAVr6g (This is debatebly the most disturbing scene, with anakin burning... but most of the scene is shot from far away... most)

I mean, there's nothing wrong with that PG-13 rating to be honest.

[Brikichu]

they bought the lower rating so they could sell spaceballs: the merchandise to a wider audience

[Mr Queeba]

the spaceballs merchandising campaign is really strong

[King Tøny]

That's nothing.

Howard The Duck is rated PG.

The first 5 minutes of the movie you will see duck tits.

[Drydess]

spaceballs is a movie that all ages should see tbh

[Masterlegodude]

Spaceballs is a good movie that is fun for the whole family and the dog

The rating PG had a different implication back in the 80s. PG then is PG-13 now. I believe it was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom that caused a moral outrage at being 'only PG' that it pushed the MPA to disambiguate between PG and R. To be fair, Indiana Jones came out in '84, and Space Balls was '87, but obviously this change didn't really come into effect until the late 80s to the early 90s.

So don't go blaming contemporary websites, blame Steven Spielberg.

Also another thing to note, foul language in movies wasn't as big of a deal as it is now. It wasn't until the mid 90s that parents started to become proactive about what their kids are watching in the cinemas.

It wasn't swearing that caused the shift to pg-13, it was depictions of violence. Revenge of the Sith is a lot more violent than Spaceballs.
