Oh no one of the characters probably gets beaten to a pulp and then says
"Shit that hurt"... gotta warn the parents about that type of language.

Or possibly derived from Strong Language, so you also get Mild Language
and Moderate Language; like cheese :-)
I have yet to see anything that warns me it contains "Language", but I
suppose it's only a matter of time.

Indeed...
"WATCH The Day After Tomorrow. IN CINEMAS NOW! [Contains mild peril.]"
Uh, no... no, actually the entire film *is* mild peril. It does not
merely "contain" it. :-P

'No don't go into down that crevasse - there might be a crazed wolf down
there, or you might slip and find yourself hanging over a 1000ft drop'
'No way this movie only contains mild peril'
'Oh! Hey go ahead then, if you want me I'll be in the woods kicking bears'

I've seen this film, I know I've seen this film; so why is it I can't
remember a single thing about it other the fact I've seen it?

...because it's diabolically shallow and pointless? (Not to mention
laughably implausible.)

Well, if there are crevasses, then there are bound to be points
somewhere. ;-)

I think I first saw it on the DVD jacket for 'Ice Age'.
Language: none
Sex/nudity: none
Violence: none
Other: contains mild peril
Brilliant.
