Free Willy 3: The Rescue | 1997 | PG | - 1.3.2
Yet another sequel of the popular film about the friendship between a whale and a boy.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A whale is pregnant. Later, she is shown giving birth in a scene that is more suggestive than explicit.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Whales are shot with spear guns. One off-screen, one on-screen. Willie is shown with a spear in him -- which gets removed. A boy cuts his shin. There is a barroom brawl -- there's nothing too graphic. People in the bar are drinking beer and other alcoholic drinks; some people are drunk. A man is knocked overboard. A man tries to stab Willie with a knife. A man is caught in a fishing net.
LANGUAGE 2 - A couple of mild obscenities, scatological and anatomical references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Illegal whale hunting, black market, parental authority.
MESSAGE - Stick up for yourself. Do what you think is right, even if it hurts.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Mufasa: The Lion King - 1.4.2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 1.3.3
The Piano Lesson - 3.5.4
Homestead - 1.5.4
