Also, Hair was rated PG, too, in spite of the nudity.
Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
JAWS was PG, Hec. Amazingly, there was no big stink, even though I think the nasty bits in that are far worse than the one heart ripping scene in Temple of Doom. But it was the 70s.
Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane was PG. While I suspect there was body double used for Jodie Foster's bare-ass-about-to-have-sex scene, she was still playing a 14 (15?) year old. Yet another one you couldn't even get away with even as an R in this country today.

I guess boobies became more dangerous over time
Definitely, since I remember seeing boobies watching Monty Python on PBS.
Not to mention the "nobody panic" scene in Airplane.
it might have been the boobies that drew me to Monty Python in the first place.
I've met the actress who was the first girl killed in Jaws.
So there's that.
Well, that was ass rather than boobies.
TV too. "I Claudius" miniseries had a number of bare boobs. It was a BBC import of course, but PBS ran it as was, tits and all.
