I mean it would loose the fun of firefly if they go arounf swearing in English & the BDH's themselves have already said much about Chinese lines in the movie. There is potential for skin shots with Inara, but not necessary in my opinion. I think Joss realizes he has several younger fans who don't need alot of excess adult scenery. Reavers, scary, that's to be expected, lots of action, but not gore. It would be so out of character for Joss if it is "R" I forsee PG-13. Any other thoughts???

I THINK it's already been established that they're aiming for PG-13. I wish I could remember where I read that so I could include a link...

I foresee PG-13, for commerical reasons. I don't have any clue if Joss would like to pepper his dialog with inventive curses, (in English) a la Kevin Smith.
He's never had anything he controlled where he's had the freedom to do that.
I'd guess the Reavers will rely on implication for than gore, cause implication is always scarier. Zoe saying "They'll rape us to death,..." is more frightening than it would be if they showed it.
After seeing the screen cap, I'm wondering if showing the Reaver isn't a big mistake. Oh, course, I'm not convinced that guy's a Reaver.

They guy must be a Reaver, since that scene was preluded by a reaver ship I think, etc and so forth. Dunno. Certainly hope so.
I'd like to think that a Reaver would be scarier if he looked like everyone else, but with dead looking eyes, gaunt faces, a few pericings or slef done tattoos. Cause nothing's scarier than when your enemy looks like you. They are still men, like Book says.
Like to hear some of you are looking out for the younger audiences :) I'm 16, been a buffy fan for about 4 years, am the youngest on my Buffy boards, and I have some younger siblings who enjoy Firefly. I would hope that a pg-13 rating would be good.
Sci-Fi violence, Chines Swearing, and all the silly things the MPAA's reasons for ratings.

What is PG-13 rating equal to in England?

It's 12...at least I would think. Maybe wait for someone who is entirely sure, but it matches up.

Yeah, I expect in England it will get a 12A. They seem to be giving every film 12A at the moment just because they are proud of their new rating! I expect when it comes to DVD though it will just be a regular 12. Or I guess depending on the extra material it might warrant a 15?
