The History of the X/NC-17 Rating 

It’s like extreme level of intensity for movies

the high rating is always rare(NC-17, AO) except TV-MA is common!

Someone how most theaters don’t play NC-17.

Me to.

@@AdvancedGaming4444 Actually, it's not. Kevin Sandler wrote that Showgirls was just a glorified R, but this is disingenuous, since _all_ X/NC-17 films (with a tiny handful of extreme exceptions) are no more than glorified R films. Snip a few frames here & there, and poof! You have an R. The boundary between R and NC-17 is very clear, and has three criteria: sexuality, dialogue (tied into sexuality), and blood. All that having been said, Kevin S. Sandler's book _The Naked Truth_ is THE BIBLE when it comes to taking a deep dive into the R/NC-17 boundary. If you are going to read, let me make one more correction. Kevin Sandler discusses the "anal" armrest sex scene in Basic Instinct, and it being a reason for the movie's NC-17 rating. It is never stated, nor even implied anywhere in Basic Instinct that the sex was anal. The real reason for the NC-17 classification was the fact that Jeanne Tripplehorn's labia majora were visible from behind. Automatic NC-17! And indeed, this shot is not in the tamer R-rated version. This shot is also omitted from the R-rated as well as all TV adaptations of Showgirls. I highly recommend the book though, along with the Scream interviews. Here, the boundary is discussed when it comes to blood & gore. I hope that this is of some value to you, Sir Gamer. Game on, Buddy!🕹🎮

It should be rated R

@@eddieibarra356 Too late! Blonde is officially rated NC-17 for “some sexual content”. I can’t wait until the trailer comes by.

@@elijahhill6602 Shame 2011 was way more graphic

@@eddieibarra356 “A Serbian Film” says hello.

I’m not sure if either of those movies deserve an NC-17 rating. Why did Spielberg think “Saving Private Ryan” would get an NC-17?

@@russellhunter9951 Because of the brutal/graphic violence (especially in the Omaha Beach sequence). I've noticed that some people have felt that "The Passion of the Christ" should have gotten the NC-17 rating, also because of how brutal/graphic the violence is.

@@joshuagiraffe It felt more like PG-13, as blood and gore, teens can handle all that!

Remember that Uncle F-er song? The song was originally going to be with Mother F-er. But if that happened, the movie will be smacked with the NC-17 rating.

@@elijahhill6602 The "boner biting f--gots" line still is over the top though.

@animationrainritewolf8388 The same thing happened with Team America World Police, that also got an NC-17 rating at the first screening and Trey and Matt were shocked.

Yeah, South Park DOES technically have the dreaded TV-14 rating, OUTSIDE of Comedy Cental, through syndication.

​@@brandonespinoza9279Neither the TV 14 or TV MA ratings for television are necessarily dreaded.

If in medium or closeup, one actor's face is in frame with another actor's you-know-what... That's an automatic NC-17.

I have to agree with RYAN DT. Those were very well done on the uncensored version. Stanley Kubrick was a very talented director. 👏

Team America also had to go through the MPAA several times before it got a R. And Trey Parker and Matt Stone's independent film "Orgazmo" also got a NC-17, but they refused to give them specific reasons why (as opposed to when they started making movies for Paramount and only then did they get a list of parts to cut). Parker and Stone once joked that they could make something family-friendly like "Rugrats" and the MPAA would still slap them with a NC-17.

There is also an equivalent of NC-17 for manga called M but I don’t know how rare it is.

@@cradica it’s pretty rare but not more rare than nc 17

@@jorge._pr this was written a year ago I now know M rated Manga are coming in book stores. What's Interesting is Interspecies Reviewers. The Manga was rated the NC-17 equivalent (M) but the anime surpassed even that! Since it was picked up by a hentai company. Yet it was rated TV-MA originally. I remember someone saying TV-MA has the potential to reach NC-17 levels and even exceed them. I think he's right! Granted the TV-MA version was censored but it still came close to surpassing them!!!

@@cradica what anime do you mean?

Dangerous film???

@@NYUMIR you dont want to know the kinda stuff happening in that movie

​@@generalrygy4532bruh I've seen it and don't wanna talk about it

In Canada, each province has its own individual ratings system and in the case of Ontario, I find they do a good job of rating films accordingly. The equivalent of a NC-17 is, funnily enough, labelled R and it's very rarely given out. The last film I remember that received it was Hardcore Henry. Then there's 18A, which requires having a parent or guardian to be able to see it, and even that one isn't given out too much. You have to be something on the level of a Quentin Tarantino movie in order to get it. When a movie is released on video, a different federal ratings board watches the film and awards it a new classification. South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut got a 18A in Ontario for its theatrical release, but the DVD/video is rated 14A (the equivalent of PG-13).

@@MrCoat 14a is the equivalent of PG-13 weird because a lot of R-rated movies are rated 14 a

I don't think it's America since a lot on 18 + manga can be found at Barns and Noble.

@@cradica Possibly, I don't know, I'm not into Manga plus I'm not from America. Also god it took RU-vid long enough to give me any notifications on this comment.

@@DVDandFilmBloke I mean manga have the same rating systems all across the English speaking world however each publisher has their own systems.

To C Radica, I own a few of that rated films. I live in the u.s., also.

@@thewenik6876 I just saw one. I got it from the public library.They have real p*** comic over there no joke!

@@cradica amazing. Wow, too. ☺️🤭

@@thewenik6876 I have been rating my favorite M(NC-17) magna called Bre@sts Are My Favorite Things In the World.

@@cradica very true. Yes.

I heard that 15 years ago, the kids movie because of Winn-Dixie had to add a few derogatory references here and there in order to get a PG because nobody was going to G rated movies anymore

@johnnyd3158 It’s certainly going away, but I found 1 g rated movie called Luck that was released in 2022.

@@giantsr1eva Well, I guess it goes to show that John Lasseter cares more about the G film rating than all of Hollywood.

Like how Redo of Healer had to be censored to be on streaming and it got a TV-MA but the are pretty strict about it they put a warning at the start of the show "for mature audiences only" and on top of that the blu-ray says "18+-DSV"

Japan was one of the countries that shown the film uncensored but with a 20+ rating but most countries have either banned or heavily edited the film.

Yes, I have. Great documentary. I even included it in my video on my top 10 documentaries about movies.

Are you also doing homework?

@@Kate-ct9ys who?

hardware tho was MUCH less violent than the finished version of total recall, which passed with an r.

Howard Ashman adapted "God Bless You Mr. Rosewater" and while the book is very profane and pornographic the musical is tame.
