Chuck Flanders

Well done Mr Chuck Norris ! Swearing is truly not necessary.

so the swearing is bad for our kids to see (even though they only have to go out in the street to hear the same and worse) .............but the violence is ok is it chuck? (even though they only have to go out in the street to see the same and worse)

I dont like swearing, but I prefer it to pointless violence

thank you so much !

Chuck Norris is so good he can send a blue tooth message via a land line

So killing, stabbing, and various violence is okay, but we can't cuss. That may be the most asinine thing I've heard today.

this is a joke for an action film he will expect no explosions next

Ok to shoot, stab and set fire to people. But no swearing please.

Anyone brave enough to wear a syrup like that is not to be messed with!

Best keep Eddie Murphy away from the film, the only time he can string two lines together without swearing is when he's a donkey

Another silent film then??

Yep thats a syrup all right , they can kill as many as they like but dont swear.

Some swearing in film is ok! but when every second word starts with an "F" it does get tiresome & one has to wonder if this is just a cop out for the script writer who perhapes can't think of any other way to express the scene.

chuck needs to meet frankie boyle for sure

#$%$ bashing???..talk about differences in continental dialect hahaha!!

That's not really a microphone, it's a silenced machine gun in his left hand.

My kids in 8th grade every imaginable swear and sexual word in High School. Because we raised them well (I think) - they speak with perfect manners to us, our parents, our friends and strangers. Now how they speak with other high school friends in private I can only guess. I suppose these PG13 ratings are so parents can feel comfortable watching with their kids because Im sure it doesn't phase them.

Now the ultra violence, which is not common in 95% of American high schools is a different story. Its something my kids have never really been exposed to because they dont watch action movies - but for some reason a PG13 rating is ok. Amazing.

Good on him! I'm not a prude and believe a swear word or two is warranted in the right situation but so many films have been turned off in our house due to the fact that every other word is f-ing and blinding so much so that the storyline pales into insignificance. There seems to be a culture in some film making of swearing for swearing's sake and not to make impact at a crucial moment and I often think this is because the underlying storyline is so weak the bad language is used as a cover up. I'm glad someone is making a stand at last, who knows we may have some really decent films to watch in future if filmakers take note!
