Maybe Miller insisted on an R because of the violence, whereas most movies earn their R with sex?

It was rated 14A in Canada. That seemed appropriate, at least to me.

Responses:

The actual violence was not really all that bad IMO to warrant an R. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 10:30 9
- But does a PG-13 Mad Max excite anyone? - iSpam May 20, 10:34 3
  - Yet, show one bare ass and it's an insta-R. So backwards. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 10:37 1
    - This is what I was suggesting Miller might have had an issue with. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 10:39
  - ... I really want to spoil it, but if you haven't seen it, it wouldn't have the same effect ... -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 10:36
- I'm just saying, maybe Miller disagrees with that and pushed his own agenda to correct society's predilection for violence and prudishness? - Beryllium May 20, 10:32 2
  - I think for certain properties that are established as R's...it's just accepted. No one wanted a Die Hard to be PG-13. Just make the movie well. -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 10:39 1
    - I honestly pay so little attention to the ratings. It only matters if I am thinking of bringing a kid to it. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 10:50
- hmmm - Amanda may have a point as far as PG13 v R in ticket sales -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 10:31 1
  - I am sure that is a part of it. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 10:32
