Now however, Dolph Lundgren has confirmed in a recent interview with Empire that the film is back to an R. Here’s what he had to say:
“I heard that it’s now R again. Stallone’s basic setting is to make it very violent. … I think for the fans, if it’s tougher it’s better.” On if Chuck Norris had anything to do with the rumored PG-13 rating: “Chuck likes to re-cut all of his films before he shows them to his kids. He told me he has his own editor. So it’s irrelevant! He could make it a G-rating if he wanted to!”
