 Scott strongly disagreed with the MPAA's position that incest was a "major" theme of the film and said he was "appalled" that his movie was given the same rating as films like "Candy Stripe Nurses" and "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre".Scott took out full-page newspaper ads in key cities offering a "money-back guarantee" from his own personal funds to any parent who took a child under 17 to the film and agreed with the R rating.More than $8,000 was reportedly paid out to ticket buyers through this offer.
