FYI the bag lady did curse (I dont need no god damn help) it is like the mf artists, but I dont think it was taken out just cause it was bad words...my mom was shocked that it got PG-13 with two f bombs. I believe PG-13's can get away with no more than 2 F-bombs....for some reason, you can say it twice, but three times gives it an R-rating. I know that sounds weird, but I'm 99.9999% sure that's the deal. And what the bag lady said doesn't fall into that. You can say sh*t a few times and other curses, but really it's the F-bombs that cause the rating to go up.
And to what someone else said....I'm not doubting other curses were cut. That's why I was asking at what point during production did Chris decide to go for the PG-13, if there originally were many more curses. I wish Anthony would come on here and answer if it was Chris that decided, or the head honchos that made the decision for him. I'm just interested as a film student how that works out.
