In honour of the release of This Film Not Rated, Yahoo! Movies has gone back through its interviews with both actors and directors and plucked out all the dirt on the cinema rating game. While the majority of the article deals with sex, there are a few instances of close calls concerning violence and gore, from Jason X to Scream 2 to Slither.

“Director Eli Roth is a good friend and very talented guy and he gave them Hostel just before we gave him this movie, so we didn’t have a problem with the MPAA,” adds Gunn. “We are eternally grateful. If you watch the actual amount of gore, we actually have a lot more gore, but because we’re surreal, we actually get away with a lot more, I think because of our timing.”

The entire thing is a great collection of snippets and well worth the read.
