Direct quote from the book, not gratuitous addition to make the film "edgy".

** It's likely the infamous scene of [[spoiler: naked Harry and Hermione making out]] in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' was added to further its PG-13 rating (though it was also likely added to keep the parents of the tween girls in the ''Potter'' fandom in the theaters). The same likely goes for Mrs. Weasely saying "Not my daughter you [[PrecisionFStrike bitch]]!" in ''Deathly Hallows Part 2''.

* "Film/WhiteNoise2022" was rated R for "brief violence and language", despite the violence being quite tame for a R-rated flick (PG-13 movies have seen worse) and "fuck" is only used a couple of times.

Two "shits" and a middle finger is not an attempt to get a PG-13 rating and there's nothing indicating that they were trying for a harder rating

* Possibly gunning for a PG-13, the Wachowski's ''Film/SpeedRacer'' film uses the word "shit" twice, notably by Speed himself in shouting "Get that weak shit off my track!", as well as a character giving the middle finger. The film still only got a PG rating.

There is no way The Dictator would have received anything but an R, even without the penis
Deleted line(s) 33 (click to see context) :
* The shot of Creator/SachaBaronCohen's penis late in the film seems to have been the only reason why ''Film/TheDictator'' was given an R rating as most of the film was clearly shot with a PG-13 in mind. The trailer even appeared with some PG-rated films (such as ''Film/TheThreeStooges'').

* ''Film/BlackChristmas2019'' was filmed intending to get an R-rating, but Sophia Takal changed her mind and cut thirty minutes of footage to have it rated PG-13 in the hopes of appealing to teenage girls. It's quite noticeable by having shots cut away [[GoryDiscretionShot before showing anything graphic]] and Kris's PreMortemOneLiner "Hey, professor, such my clit" becoming an awkward CurseCutShort.

* Inverted for ''Film/TheLovelyBones'', whose book counterpart was infamously graphic, with two pages devoted to Susie's rape and murder at the hands of Mr Harvey, frank discussions of sex, and a sequence where Susie possesses Ruth and uses her body to sleep with Ray. The film version was toned down to be more family friendly so the filmmakers' teenagers could watch, partly out of necessity, to spare the 14-year-old Saoirse Ronan having to perform said scenes - the horror is only implied, Susie doesn't realise she's dead at first, all sex scenes are removed, and the scene with Ray is changed to just a kiss. This was also in an attempt to appeal to [[OscarBait Academy voters]], but didn't quite take.

* ''Film/TheSpiderwickChronicles'' was based on a book series aimed at younger children, but its film adaptation hoped to compete with a market that favoured PG and PG-13 fantasy films, so Jared says "hell" and "dammit" a couple of times. Lucinda also says the word "suicide", referring to herself being mistaken for self-harming when she gets injuries from the invisible goblins.

* Inverted for ''Film/TheCraft'', which tried to get a PG-13 rating to appeal to the teen crowd, and so avoided any bad language or violence, with the worst scene being a character with self harm scars getting her wrists cut again, and there's minimal blood. Sex is referenced, but there's only one makeout involving the characters fully clothed. However, it got slapped with an R because it featured teenage girls dabbling in witchcraft.
Added DiffLines:
* ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer'' is pretty tame for an R-rated horror film - featuring no nudity, only implied sex between Julie and Ray, and mostly a GoryDiscretionShot. The studio insisted on a couple of more violent scenes to get the R-rating and ape the success of ''{{Film/Scream 1996}}'' - such as Max getting killed with a hook through the chin, and more blood when [[spoiler: Elsa]] is killed.

* ''Film/PowerRangers2017'' sold itself as a DarkerAndEdgier take on the [[Franchise/PowerRangers parent franchise]] by getting a PG-13 rating, which was earned by Kimberly saying "crap", Jason saying "bullshit" and Trini saying "shit" at one point. Besides that, it's BloodlessCarnage, no nudity beyond a ShirtlessScene from Jason, and only mild BodyHorror on Rita's first form.
