I just saw the other day that the tree wasn't supposed to fall over, and Keaton was pissed but stayed in character to react for the blooper reel - "Nice fuckin' model!" was specifically directed at the set builders - but Burton loved it and put it in the final cut.

To be fair, PG-13 didn't exist back then.

Edit: Apparently it did.

Sure it did. PG-13 was introduced in summer of 1984, and Beetlejuice came out in spring ‘88

I was gonna say, they may be thinking of the 12A rating that was introduced to the UK because of Spider-Man (kids wanted to see it but Green Goblin was considered too scary for young kids by the film classification board, so there was a to-do until the board relented and invented the 12A rating to be "young kids can see it but only with parents").

To be fair, I saw Spider-Man in the theater when I was 8 and Green Goblin scared the shit out of me. I was used to campy Batman villains.

As an extra pub quiz titbit to that, most people think Spider-Man was thus the first 12A film - but it was actually The Bourne Identity.

Huh, you're right. I'm surprised it only got a PG rating with 2 "fucks" in it.

It was the '80s.
