As expected, Indiana Jones 5 has been given an official rating of PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association.
The MPAA gave the rating based on the film having “sequences of violence and action, language and smoking.”
The previous two Indiana Jones movies were rated PG-13, with Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom both rated PG which was before there was a PG-13 rating.
However, Temple of Doom actually led to the creation of the PG-13 rating which was introduced on July 1, 1984, two months following the release of Temple of Doom in May.
Scenes within the flick such as Mola Ram ripping out a man’s heart and the end of Raiders actually nearly gave the films an R rating, but for Temple of Doom, Steven Spielberg argued with the MPAA and suggested something like a middle rating should be implemented. The first PG-13 movie? Red Dawn starring Patrick Swayze (awesome movie).
What is Indiana Jones 5 about?
The official title is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny which possibly suggests time travel is involved and the film gets released in theaters on June 30 directed by James Mangold.
Harrison Ford returns as the legendary hero archaeologist in the highly anticipated fifth installment of the iconic Indiana Jones franchise.
Starring along with Harrison Ford are Phoebe Waller-Bridg, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davie, Shaunette Renee Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Oliver Richters, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen.
Producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, and Simon Emanuel, with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas serving as executive producers.
John Williams, who has scored each Indy adventure since the original Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, is once again composing the score.
