Worth remembering that PG in those days was a very broad rating. _Airplane_ was rated PG and includes a topless scene. Indiana Jones and the Tempke of Doom was rated PG and was pretty gory for the time. Both would get PG-13 or maybe even R ratings today.


I remember the controversy around Temple of Doom. It was the inspiration for PG-13.
