G doesn't mean what it once did.

The Monkees movie Head got a G rating. It has sex and drugs innuendo and actual footage of the Vietnam War street execution.

Planet of the Apes was G originally and it has nudity, violence, and profanity.

OTOH, "Last Tango In Paris", originally a very scandalous X rated film, barely gets PG-13 today!

I thought Head was rated R, which was one of the reasons why it didn't do so well: none of the Monkees' young fans could see it. That, and the fact that it was an acid trip of a movie (literally).
