WHY the hell is Army of Darkness classed as horror and rated R???
The title speaks for itself.

if you're saying it should fall into the fantsy genre then i agree. i assume the american ' R rating ' is the british equivalent of an eighteen. if this is the case then i think you should remember that ratings are only relevant to the year they were classified. perhaps today it wouldn't get the same rating

Ok, I think it should be rated G, 11 on cinema then. And yes I´m 100% serious.

What matters is if the story, characters, action, framing, pacing, thematic structure, social relevance, and overall entertainment factor. Who gives a fuck what the rating is? |

all right, the answer from someone who has worked in a number of video stores, and now works in the film industry...
It's in Horror because the first two movies in the set are in horror and it has walking skeletons and zombie like things in it. Video stores don't put a lot of research into their filing systems, and they figure if you found the first two movies in the series there, you'll look for the third one there. The 'R' rating is entirely arbitrary, as are all movie ratings. How movies are rated is based on the feelings of the people on the board after watching the movie. If you don't like the rating you got, you can make changes and resubmit, or resubmit without changing and try to wear them down with your arguments. Standards have changed-- there are older movies that have full nudity in them that got a PG rating. I'm told one of the things they currently look at is use of the "f-word". You can use it once as an expletive and get a PG13, but if you use it to describe the act, it's an R. In other words, you can say "f*ck you" but not "f*ck me". Army's R rating is just based on the opinions of the board members at the time. |
Wonderful. The poster trying to argue that no one posts in his movie threads giving a completely pointless answer to an honest question.
As for the question, IMDB lists the reasons for being rated R as "violence & horror." I'd have to agree, as a spurting blood pit fight between Bruce Campbell and an undead seems to fit the description. As to why it's considered horror, it's an age old debate that many movies go through. I'd consider it just as much horror as I would Dead/Alive (aka Braindead) or Return of the Living Dead. Such great movies as Silence of the Lambs, Jaws & Se7en have went through the same machine for different reasons. I didn't draw any lines as to what was considered horror in the HDC Top 100s for this reason. Draw your line where you stand, just remember that because you do others aren't necessarily wrong. |

Well, I guess it´s just rated R just because they on MPAA is so fucking sensetive. |
