  • doesn't like toning down an adult series for the kids.

  • Hey, everyone, I'm Rebecca and welcome to watch Mojo.

  • Today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 R rated franchises that went PG 13.

  • Yeah, where I that means we're looking at various franchises that started as adult oriented R rated movies before transitioning to PG 13 even if it was only for one movie.

  • All right, let's get the list.

  • Theo Number 10 The Scary Movie franchise The 1st 2 scary movie movies were delightfully crude and wickedly offensive.

  • Yes, there was violence and profanity, but most of the vile content stemmed from sexuality.

  • The first film included countless innuendos and that infamous bathroom stall sequence.

  • Scary Movie two ramps up the sexual humor to an insane degree.

  • Siri's subsequently shifted to a much more kid friendly and naked gun esque approach with Scary Movie three, a trend that continued with two subsequent Sequels.

  • However, that's not to say they were less funny.

  • In fact, most people would agree that three was a huge improvement over to no one actually kept track after that.

  • See, they are peaceful.

  • Well, they're so peaceful, man.

  • Why were they choking this a few minutes ago.

  • Oh, that's always a hello Number nine.

  • The Riddick franchise.

  • The Riddick Siri's has gone through quite a few alterations over the years.

  • How many are there?

  • It all began with Pitch Black, an alien like slasher that saw Riddick in a supporting role.

  • Like many slashers, pitch Black was rated are largely for its gore, which includes a woman being ripped in half by killer bad things.

  • The Siri's then shifted to a more side by approach with The Chronicles of Riddick losing a lot of violence and gore in the process.

  • I'll kill you with my teacup.

  • Various scenes were cut so the film could secure a PG 13 rating, but it was mostly for not as the movie bombed at the box office.

  • Luckily, the Siri's returned to its violent R rated roots for 2000 thirteen's Ridic.

  • It was a huge improvement.

  • Maybe I wouldn't did the worst crime of all.

  • I got civilized Number eight.

  • The speed franchise speed is perhaps the lightest are in the history of light ours.

  • It was rated such first violence and language.

  • Although the violence is rather tame, the most extreme scene is when Howard gets decapitated in the subway, but it wasn't done in a graphic or disturbing way.

  • Now the R rating mostly stems from the frequent swearing, including the mother of all curse words.

  • Way didn't exactly lose much when Speed two Cruise Control was rated PG 13.

  • There's no real swearing, and the violence is limited to what the M P A hilariously calls frenetic disaster action.

  • Granted, no one saw speed to anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

  • Number seven, the vacation franchise Most people know the vacation Siri's thanks to Christmas vacation, the harmless PG 13 rated holiday classic featuring and no nudity.

  • And no serious wearing well, with one hilarious exception.

  • We say that because the first vacation was actually rated R, it was released in 1983 a k a.

  • Before the advent of the PG 13 rating, which followed one year later that said it would still receive an R rating today.

  • Oh, shoot way.

  • See Ellen's bare breasts on two separate occasions and the language isn't cleaned up at all.

  • It's clear that the first vacation was meant for the parents, whereas the subsequent films, including Christmas Vacation, were intended.

  • Maura's family events Theo, Theo Siri's did return to our territory with the 2015 soft reboot, but that's a road better left untraveled.

  • This trip's been tonight.

  • Well, that's what family vacations are, but you can't give up Number six the Expendables franchise.

  • If an action series deserves to be rated R, it's the expendables.

  • You can't just throw away.

  • Cast like that on Cissy Disney Violence The 1st 2 movies saw to this as they were both rated, are due in part to bloody violence.

  • Thing includes instances of severed limbs, graphic beheadings and bad guys being blown in half.

  • That all changed with the significantly inferior Expendables three, which contained much tamer violence.

  • Digging.

  • Yeah, all the traditional stabbings, explosions and shootings are present, but gone are the visceral and messy results.

  • It completely changed the nature of the Siri's and made it seem like it was catering to the younger demographic rather than bombastic eighties action movie nostalgia for what expendable?

  • Number five.

  • The Mad Max franchise.

  • Both Mad Max and the Road Warrior were released before the advent of the PG 13 rating, so they qualify as light ours at best.

  • Yes, the violence is persistent, but It's nothing that wouldn't be seen in a modern PG 13 action movie.

  • Onley, one year after the invention of the PG 13 rating Beyond Thunderdome was given the rating due to its subdued and bloodless violence.

  • Coincidentally, most people often consider this to be the weakest Mad Max.

  • Thea R rating was subsequently reinstated for Fury Road, although this, too was a surprisingly light are, for the most part, Number four.

  • The alien franchise and the Predator franchise, both Alien and Predator, helped define the eighties monster movie.

  • Despite the lack of onscreen Gore.

  • The 1st 3 alien movies were rated R mostly thanks to their horrifying visuals and dour tone.

  • Theo this'll changed with Resurrection, which contained far more graphic detail.

  • Predator was the more violent of the two franchises as it contained gory instances of skin ings, mutilations and severed limbs.

  • Needless to say, fans were hyped to see some blood and flying limbs.

  • In Alien versus Predator, it would surely contain the scariest and goriest of both franchises, right, Wrong.

  • It was lame PG 13 nonsense that tended to cut away from the more violent moments, and most of the gory or violence was contained to the monsters themselves.

  • That's cool, right?

  • Right, Guys Number three.

  • The die hard franchise.

  • When it was announced that live free or Die hard would be PG 13 it was like the world was ending.

  • Thief 1st 3 movies are rather violent, with John getting progressively bloodier throughout the story's goons or stabbed through the eye, and one man is sliced in half by cable.

  • They also contained a lots of swearing, which helps convey John McClane's Everyman status.

  • Who wouldn't be swearing in his situation in Live free or Die hard?

  • John gets dirty rather than bloody, and the movie had the nerve to edit over his iconic Yippee Kai ay line with a gunshot.

  • Nevertheless, we'd still take it over a good day to die hard, which proved that an R rating does not automatically equal a good movie.

  • Father won't be alive Way Number two, Terminator franchise.

  • Maybe it's about time the Siri's was terminated.

  • The 1st 3 movies were given our ratings, with the 1st 2 being particularly hard.

  • Ours they contain some graphic and fairly convincing surgery sequences, including the Terminator, cutting out his own eyeball.

  • The violence is visceral and impactful, and the characters swear up a storm that Terminator is out there.

  • It can't be bargained with.

  • It can't be reasoned with, however, salvation and Genesis took the easy PG 13 route, and the movie suffered.

  • As a result.

  • Theo Ladder was particularly offensive, relying mostly on bloodless violence and horrible CG I to convey the carnage.

  • Yeah, well, it looks like a piece of junk.

  • The Siri's returned to its R rated roots for dark fate, but everyone had long stopped caring, and even then it was nothing compared to the 1st 2 films.

  • Number one.

  • The Robocop franchise, The first Robocop is arguably one of the most violent mainstream films ever released and originally received an X rating based solely on its graphic violence.

  • Thank you for your cooperation.

  • Good night.

  • Yes, most of the violence is comically over the top, but it still counts.

  • The second movie retained the R rating, but the violence was significantly toned down.

  • You sold us out, Officer Robocop three did away with the blood and Gore entirely resulting in the fan maligned an infamous PG 13 rating.

  • It's also considered the worst film in the series.

  • Almost like it completely took the soul out of the franchise for a quick book.

  • Unfinished business.

  • Of course, that completely backfired as no one went to see it.

  • It was an utter disaster on all fronts, and Hollywood didn't exactly learn its lesson with the PG 13 remake.

  • Why can't we use these machines here?

  • Why is America so robo phobic who watches a movie like Die Hard or Robocop, Terminator and things that we go to make these for kids?

  • Can you imagine if the first movie in each of those franchises had been PG 13 we probably wouldn't have had more of them.

  • Actually, you know what you should do.

  • Let us know in the comments what movie you think would be most pointless if it had been made into do 13.

  • So, yeah, let us in on the comments, or come tell me on Twitter or Instagram at record.
