The Cowboy Bebop movie in theaters April 4,2003
Well just to let some people know who are interested. They changed the american versions title "Knock Knock on Heavens Door" due to issues with Bob Dylen. The movie for some reason is rated R?
Anybody know anything else about this movie.

its probably rated r for language and violence, even though there isn't an excessive amount of either.
i'm surprised they're releasing it to theaters though, it seems like one of those movies cartoon network would pick up.

Has anyone seen this movie (either by getting a Japanese version or lives in a country with this movie) confirm on why this movie would be rated R

it wouldn't, it isn't very violent at all, nor are there many places for it to be excessively vulgar in a dub.
So you got me. It's PG-13 all the way in my book.

Faye *ALMOST* shows boobies, I say almost cause man it's so close.
A bullet goes through someone pretty much. Plenty of blood their.
It is animated violence, but hey, if it got a pg-13 instead of an R, I'm sure a lot of you will be screaming bloody murder cause you know ratings always tell us if it's a good movie right.. (In reference to all those who hate when a movie is given a PG-13 rating for what "could have been")
I love both the dub and sub of this series, I look forward to both, and I am pleased to hear that Both will be around in theaters just like spirited away offered.
Though the new title kind of throws me for a loop "Knock Knock on heavin's door" eh. I think they would have been able to get away with the original title if you ask me.

I stand corrected to my previous comment.
The film has been... MPAA Rating: R for some violent images. -- http://www.animenewsservice.com/ .
Also a bit on Bebop-Columbia connection (kind of odd but watching the episode again, it's kind of weird.)
...and now on to Pierrot Le Fou.
I honestly didn't find the movie that violent, tho my dad felt the fist fight was pretty extreme.
Oh and.. Release Date: April 4th, 2003 (LA/NY).
as if you all didn't already know that

It's probably rated R due to the terrorism content in the movie rather than any excessive blood, gore, nudity or swearing...silly I admit but probably close to the truth. With recent events, they probably feel that younger teens would be disturbed.

how wide a release will this get? it have a feeling it'll get as wide a release as Metropolis. I had a hard time getting to see Spirited Away and i have a feeling i'll have to wait for the Bebop movie to come on dvd.

Uh Jack......I was joking. Are you the new Groucho or something?
Just a little humor about how we get 2 screens for Bebop and 3000 for Just Maried.
Just for that I'll be sitting behind you at the Nuart kicking your seat and talking on my cel phone.

Talking on your cel phone? I wont be the only one jumping you during the showing.

Besides, after your post on how Reebok was totally ripping off office space and ruined it by "Selling it out" to the masses, I tend to miss your sarcasim.

8/18/02 - Movie news from LA preview. -- According to those who attended the preview of Knockin' On Heaven's Door at the Egyptian theater in LA, a studio representative from Columbia was present. According to the rep, not only will there be a wide theatrical release of the film, but in those areas showing the film on multiple screens, Columbia will insist that both the sub and the dub be shown.

Yeah if it's R-rated I'll be expecting tenticles...lots of tenticles.
Jack: I missed the Egyptian screening last summer. That was a dub. In April it will be a dub in LA. Where's the sub?

Look for Sub in theaters that can handle DLP I would assume. Much like Spirited away, Columbia wants to do a release in the same manner. screens with both Dub and Sub.

For the English dub, is the same cast/crew used as for the DVD set? I wouldn't mind seeing it then. The DVD translation/actors is just about as good as any dub I've ever seen.
