Not sure if this is true, but The Conjuring got an R possibly for the exorcism scene.

Four Weddings and a Funeral and The King’s Speech each earned an R rating for a single scene packed with F words.

The King’s Speech, also for the cursing in a single scene.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was gonna get an R rating unless they re-edited the scene where Belloq's head explodes.

Not sure if this is true, but The Conjuring got an R possibly for the exorcism scene. Both Conjuring's were intense, but were borderline PG13. There have been other horror films with exorcism scenes\themes that were PG13. |

The movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) would probably be PG if it weren't for one scene where Steve Martin's character says the F-word a bunch of times lol.
Can you think of any other movies that are rated R for one scene alone? Or a couple scenes, if you have trouble thinking of any.  In OZ and NZ, this film was un-restricted and suggested for mature audiences. The US rating system is mega-flawed, especially when a myriad of films share the same rating, but for different levels of reasoning. The MPAA, or CARA, needs a complete overhaul. |

It is hypocrisy and the guidelines need to be re-written and perhaps another rating brought to light for US audiences. They can keep the current ones, but when there is a film with stronger adult content, but not of hard 'R' origins, it perhaps then needs an un-restricted Mature rating, not an 'R' rating. As it stands, it gets discussed as though there are different levels of 'R' rating, soft and hard. This doesn't work within the objective reasoning behind the rating. Why should an amusing and harmless film be rated 'R' just for a sprinkling of four letter profanities, which then shares the same rating as a graphically violent horror film like Saw or Hostel?
The US also appears to have an issue with the NC17 rating, which most other responsible and level-headed countries don't have any issue restricting a film to over certain ages only pronto, in terms of its context.

Leprechaun
It was originally supposed to be a horror movie for kids then they realized it would work better as an adult horror movie so they added a couple scenes and I think that cop scene is the only one that would make it R. If you watch the movie unlike the other leprechaun movies there's no nudity. the language is pretty tame and the violence is not very graphic

TV version of the Planes, Trains & Automobiles F-word scene with alternate footage of Steve Martin instead of profane footage.

There Will Be Blood was rated R just due to the bowling alley scene.

Harry and Tonto (1974). Art Carney's Oscar winning performance in a warm and friendly movie about an elderly man and his cat traveling across country. An easy PG to start with, one instance of the "C" word netted it an "R."  |
