Knight Rider Movie, PG-13 or R rated

I was kinda wondering if the upcoming Knight Rider movie will be a PG-13 film or will it be R-rated. Most likely, it will be a PG-13 film, for the original TV show was catered to viewers of all ages. It would be hard to picture Knight Rider as a R-rated film, for it would discredit the image the show has stood for. I just couldn't picture KITT swearing throughout the entire film, although KARR would, "they must have picked up my sonar, DAMM". :D

So what was your point about asking whether it would be Rated R or Rated PG 13 when you basically answered your own question?

I was basically curious as to wether the upcoming movie would retain the same values as the original TV series, or would it mainly cater to a newer generation.

The movie would probably retain its "for all ages" rating. Definitely there would be no nudity, but a little swearing here and there may be included but not too harsh. Its for keeping up with the times.

The word "damn" is not really a harsh word nowadays. Certainly not when compared to the four letter "F" word or such.

You have a very good point "HondaSiR". In just about every PG-13 film, there is going to be some form of swearing, even if it is just for humour.

Well...even Knight Rider said "Damn" every once in awhile.

I think anythign more than PG-13 would hurt sales by cutting otu sdome of the audience

If it was rated R i wouldn't even go see it and would be highly disappointed. Knight Rider was about action and fun, without any real vulgarity. PG-13 would be a perfect rating because you could have some real heart stopping action but keep the swearing to a minimum. I just hope there are so sex scenes. To me that would completely ruin the movie, but then again I am a bit of a prude. :wink:

The new Battlestar Galactica series on Sci Fi is one good example where they have sex scenes, where the original series would not allow it.

A little swearing isn't bad.
A little kissy-kissy isn't bad, either.
Just no nudity, gore, or racial slurs and I'll be one of the first to say "This is a really good film." Add any of the above, and the film would probably be a flop, with no chance for a sequel.

It's gotta be PG-13.
