Did you know?
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the reason why we have the PG-13 rating. After Temple of Doom was released, the MPAA was concerned about how dark the movie was with its themes of child slavery and death.
At the time, there was only PG and R. So, they came up with a new rating for movies that didn't meet the criteria for R, but were more intense and had more serious themes than PG. The result was the PG-13 rating we have today.
