While the original shooting script contained numerous scenes that featured graphic violence and gore (and would have certainly led to the final movie getting an R rating), director Joe Dante and executive producer Steven Spielberg intended to sharply reduce these elements, and the rumors that an R-rated cut of this movie exist are inaccurate. It helped that many of the more horrifying scenes in the script were basically ideas that Dante and Spielberg wanted in the movie, such as the bit with the gremlins attacking the mailbox guy and Santa, and so re-writing was not a major issue, and gave more focus time to making sure this movie would get the PG rating they wanted.
