Why is the 1973 film Serpico rated R?

there is no parental guide ithing on IMDB like there usually is and im sure its R for language and violence but i don't know about nudity. i would much rather watch it with no nudity


There is very brief nudity (when 3 young men are about to rape a woman, and Serpico and his partner break it up). But there is sexual content and sexual innuendo and of course it is very violent.

NYPD ticket-fixing scandal could make its way to the big screen

"No one's going to help them [work on a production] until that time comes," the source said.

Neither source would divulge the producer's name, but they say he splits his time between New York and Los Angeles.

The cinematic potential for the scandal is undeniable: 17 cops - many of them union delegates - were indicted on Friday, sources said. Dozens of others likely will face departmental charges, sources said and some already have.

The indicted officers could begin turning themselves in this week, sources said.

They are expected to face charges ranging from perjury and bribery to grand larceny and obstruction.

"I've never seen this kind of tension and uncertainty [in the NYPD]," said one cop close to an officer who is expected to be charged in the case. "They need to get this over with and let people get on with their lives."

Police historians say the ticket-fixing case likely will pale in comparison to earlier NYPD scandals adapted by Hollywood, including Detective Frank Serpico's testimony about corrupt colleagues before the Knapp Commission in 1971.
