10 More Genius Ways Movies Fixed Their Own Mistakes
3. Sigourney Weaver's Blatantly Dubbed F-Bomb - Galaxy Quest
Though it ultimately ended up with a PG audience rating, legendary sci-fi parody Galaxy Quest was actually shot as an R-rated movie, before the studio enforced cuts to remove any objectionable content.
This is hilariously evident in the famous sequence where Gwen (Sigourney Weaver) and Jason (Tim Allen) end up face-to-face with the metal "chompers," and Gwen shouts, "Screw that!"
The line was actually re-dubbed in post-production, as during shooting Weaver shouted, "F**k that!," which obviously wouldn't pass muster at a PG rating.
