"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Major Payne | 1995 | PG-13 | - 1.3.3

Damon Wayans stars as a Marine who must whip some boys into shape and help them win their Junior ROTC championship.

SEX/NUDITY 1 - Two kisses between a man and his girlfriend.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Some of the violence and gore here are played for laughs. There is a war scene with explosions: A man has a bleeding chest and another breaks his finger (crooked finger shown). A man puts a gun to a man's back and crotch. A man cooks and almost eats a rat. A man slaps another man a few times across the face, kicks a window and hurts himself. A man taunts and berates his ROTC members, with a few scenes of boys pummeling each other (after one scene a boy is shown with a black eye and blood on his lip). Some graphic descriptions of wartime violence. A parent slaps his son across the face. A gun is fired a few times (but not at anyone). A man daydreams about hitting and throwing an aggressor into a kiddie pool.

LANGUAGE 3 - About seven scatological terms, many milder obscenities.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - The military life, killing pursuant to military order.

MESSAGE - Once you start something, you should always follow through, especially if others are counting on you.

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.
