Media Notes / Parents Strongly Cautioned Rating

No, we said that people 13 and over can watch these movies, not that only 13-year-olds can watch these movies!

One of the age ratings of the Motion Picture Association. This rating is aimed at people who are at least thirteen years old. It is the film equivalent of Teen Rating.

Although the rating is not restricted, parents and guardians are advised caution if they allow children under 13 to see a film rated PG-13, as the material is stronger than in a PG rated film.

PG-13 was introduced in 1984 as an in-between rating after the controversy surrounding Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins, both PG-rated productions of Steven Spielberg that had some notably family unfriendly imagery, with the former infamously featuring a guy’s heart getting ripped out among other scenes, and the latter having the title creatures being dispatched in some gruesome ways. Being one of the biggest players in Hollywood, Spielberg used his influence to convince the MPAA to create a new rating that would act as a middle ground between PG and R, which went into effect by the end of the summer.

The first film to be released under the rating was Red Dawn, though the first finished film to be given the rating was The Flamingo Kid, which became the fourth film released with the rating.
