Right, but there was some damn clever workarounds. They do tell us those are human brains in the heads... but we still see heads getting sliced in half and such. Blue blood instead of red blood, but still. And when the human people get wounded and get bloody, they're wearing black clothes and it's usually at night so all you can see is like a big "wet spot." It's a movie that can uniquely get around the problem, and I like that Rodriguez claimed his "one F bomb" that a PG-13 movie is allotted.

Dammit, this is what TMNT could be.

Definitely PG-13 stretched to its absolute limit. Most PG-13 actioners don't even try. I suspect Cameron may have a tiny bit of pull at the MPAA, still.
