There was a miniseries on The History Channel that I watched called "Engineering An Empire" and it was hosted by none other than Peter Weller (a.k.a Robocop). He also played Christopher Henderson, one of the main bad guys in season 5 of "24".

Well sorta... Darcie is right in that it really isn't as bad as a lot of movies out there however... I remember when I first watched it, my mom let my brother and I see it when we were 14 and 12 (or around that time). She kept on saying, "my goodness, I didn't remember all this language".

For sheltered kids (like we were

), Back to the Future is pretty heavy on the language, however it's "mild" by today's standards...

The Empire Strikes Back (1980, so it is an eighties movie), Wrath of Khan (that's the eighties, right?), the Princess Bride, and Return of the Jedi are my favorites from that decade. $\:D/$

The 1980's had a lot of great movies... but Back to the Future is one of my favorites of all time... so that gets top billing, IMO. $\:D/$

If I remeber correctly, Back to the Future had the most curse words in a movie I have ever seen.
I take it you missed Pulp Fiction and any other Quentin Tarantino movies then? Here's imdb's recap of Back to the Future's profanity: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/parentalguide
Mild to moderate. The word "s---" is used often due to standards at the time of the films release. Jesus' name is abused a good number of times.

I have seen Star Trek movies which do have a good number of profanities, but not as many as Back to the Future with alot of "son of a b----"

Back to the Future pushed the line for a PG rating but it really isn't too bad, content wise. It is the greatest movie of all time, afterall.

Sure it is a great movie, but language, surprised it got a PG.

Haha except for the part where his mom tries to make out with him. Of course, for those of you who haven't seen the movie, he went back to the 1950's when she was his age so in her defense she didn't know that was her future son.
