Despite their dark subject matter, scary imagery, and brutal violence these movies somehow made it past the MPAA and avoided an R rating.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The MPAA is the organization that gives movies their ratings based on their content; however, some brutal movies that should arguably have been R-rated snuck by with a lower rating. It makes sense that filmmakers and studios would want their movies to have lower ratings, as it means more people are allowed to go see the movie, but this can often lead to frightened children and upset parents.
8 Beowulf When Robert Zemeckis was experimenting with motion capture technology in the 2000s, he made two holiday-themed movies for children and Beowulf, a violent, sexual, and intense action movie aimed squarely at adults. The movie features a practically naked Angelina Jolie, horrific monsters, bloody stabbings, and people being burned alive, yet somehow managed to walk away with a PG-13 rating. Being animated, Beowulf was able to get away with a lot more than a live-action film ever could.
5 Sucker Punch Zack Snyder is a filmmaker who often pushes the limit in terms of what can be shown in a PG-13 movie. Much like Batman v. Superman, Sucker Punch had to be cut down in order to receive a PG-13 rating. However, the theatrical cut of the movie still manages to be pretty brutal. The violence, while fantastical and over the top, is still quite intense for younger viewers, and the film's dark subject matter of women being abused in a mental asylum leads to many upsetting scenes.
