I tend to give it to Kick-Ass as the movie that kicked in the door on "modern," hard R-rated comic book movies. Watchmen didn't quite light the world on fire like Kick-Ass did. I don't know if even Deadpool would have happened had there not been an example like Kick-Ass to point to in terms of, "See? This sort of thing can work."

If by "kicked" as in they were made and people didn't see it, sure

Original Daredevil was totally not R.

My bad, I didn't remember... I only ever saw the Director's Cut. Forgot theatrical was PG13.

And director/ultimate cuts don't count.

Wait, so Ben Affleck has starred as the lead role in two bad PG-13 movies that later got R-rated cuts? Huh.

Never thought of it that way.

*Candy Kappa* · 03-08-2017, 01:07 PM

There's 3 Punisher movies, my memory is iffy if the second movie with Tom Jane is R rated. There's the 3 Blade movies, Kick-Ass 1 & 2, and Super. Deadpool, Watchmen, Darkman trilogy, The Toxic Avenger quadrilogy, I think Black Scorpion 1 & 2 are R rated, there's the Guyver movies.

Man-Thing may not be as superhero movie, but he is a superhero property and got a R rated movie. I haven't seen Wanted, but as far as I know they removed all the superhero and supervillain stuff, so I guess that one doesn't count.

The Killing Joke is R rated, isn't it?

*ToTheNines* · 03-08-2017, 01:17 PM

Thomas Jane Punisher was PG13.

*Candy Kappa* · 03-08-2017, 01:24 PM

right, could have googled it before making my post, but where's the fun in that.

It was R... but suspiciously light R. Super light R. Like they totally shot it as PG-13, got an R from the MPAA, and just sort of shrugged.

We're tired of pussies that can't handle R rating that's what.

Huh. I was 13 when it came out and vividly remember telling my Dad it was PG-13. I guess I was lying to him so he'd take me lol.

And yeah, I think there might have been some tits in a brief scene, but literally nothing else about it deserves an R rating.

*Candy Kappa* · 03-08-2017, 01:44 PM

Don't we see The Russian's neck all twisted post-battle? maybe that gave it a R, or a cuss word too many

*Andrew NDB* · 03-08-2017, 01:52 PM

I hope the PG-13 "Ghost in the Shell" crashes and burns spectacularly. That movie has no business sanitizing itself for 13 year-olds.

I'd say it will probably do as well as "Lucy", or slightly better because Manga. Or slightly worse because Manga...

And whatever happen to the plan of making their films "lighter"?

they really are quite clueless as to WHAT they want to do!

it's like watching a dog chase it's own tail.
