Last Tuesday, Chris Vernon invited me back on his show to fill in for a vacationing Chris Herrington and do a “Movies” list. (My second week to do so.) Based on what was big at the box office at the time, G.I. Joe, I presented the list “Top 5 PG-13 Action Movies.”
As defined by the Motion Picture Association of America (who better to define it?), PG-13 is: “Some material may be inappropriate for children.” And, specifically: “There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence.”
One caveat: NO comic-book movies. I could’ve had three or four action-based PG-13 comic-book movies on the list, and it didn’t seem fair, since G.I. Joe isn’t a comic-book movie. So there.
