Excalibur was PG and it had both male and female nudity. It also showed them naked having sex and in a post coitus embrace. The movie also had some pretty graphic violence which kinda makes me wonder how the hell it got a PG rating in the first place.

Er, not really Duane. I had this discussion with my dad last week in fact. He had just bought the dvd and was surprised at the level of skin and sweaty shaggin'; he didn't remember all that being in there when he took my older brother to see it way back when. I distinctly remembered the ads saying it was rated R, and told him he was wrong. Poor Dad
. Anyway, the IMDb says that it was released in two versions, both R, and an edited PG, which is what was shown for years on T.V., but most video versions presented the R version.

Excalibur was originally put into theatrical release simultaniously in both it's PG and R rating formats in the US. Most home video versions are the R rated one, but TV and movie channels show the PG version. R rated version features a few more minutes of graphic sex and violence.

And here's an eBay auction showing the original poster, R version anyway. The R can be seen on the bottom left.
