: Raiders was familly entertaiment up to that point. I don't know how S H I * got pass the censors 20 years ago, but it's still a word not allowed on radio or broadcast T.V. in the U.S. to this day. I don't know if it would be tollerated by Micha on this forum, but then we've been decent enough not to use it, haven't we laddy?

Well, Indy wasn't family entertainment everywhere! I know at least of one country where "Raiders" and TOD had [and still have] a '16' [age] rating. That was mostly due to the violence in those movies [and others: "From Russia with Love" comes to mind as the only Bond film rated '16' in a series, usually rated '12']. My point is that in the US it's not violence [unless it is very explicit]that influences the rating as much as sexual content and the use of foul language. BTW, 'sh*t' was said last year on 'Chicago Hope' on ABC; that means there is hope! Fall Guy
