7 Recently Confirmed Truths You Didn't Know About Famous Movies

3. Scooby Doo Originally Had An R-Rating

Scooby Doo is about as kid-friendly as entertainment gets, right? Well, for the 15th anniversary of the live-action Scooby Doo movie last year, writer James Gunn - yes, of Guardians of the Galaxy fame - confirmed that the film originally scored an R-rating from the MPAA.

Gunn said of his experience making the movie, "I had written an edgier film geared toward older kids and adults, and the studio ended pushing it into a clean cut children’s film. And, yes, the rumours are true - the first cut was rated R by the MPAA, and the female stars’ cleavage was CGI’d away so as not to offend."

Considering how much cleavage Linda Cardellini's Velma flaunts in the final film regardless, you really have to wonder just how blatant it originally was.

Elaborating further on the objectionable content, Gunn added that the R-rating was due to "some line of dialogue the MPAA thought referred to oral sex", though sadly didn't reveal exactly what the salacious line was.

Though Gunn did lament that the film didn't turn out how he originally planned, he doesn't seem too hurt by it all things considered. "Such is life. I had a lot of fun making this movie, regardless of all that. And I was also able to eat, buy a car, and a house because of it." Nice.
