What Parents Need to Know
About The Rocketeer
Parents need to know that this movie is too violent and adult in its themes for young viewers. The movie is larded with plenty of car chases, aviation disasters, gunfire, and explosions. A mobster holds a character's head close to a restaurant grill, but doesn't cause injury. Evil-doers are killed off mainly by gunfire, with the exception of the two nastiest characters who are incinerated by an exploding rocketpack and a burning zeppelin. Lots of lingering shots of cleavage as the drugged heroine is revived and (unsuccessfully) seduced in the villain's bedroom; she escapes his lustful clutches by knocking him out cold with a vase. And there is some mild cussing and few racy period expressions kids aren't likely to recognize.
