It was always Michael Bay's intention for Armageddon to be rated PG-13. He had decided on this shortly after The Rock. He wanted to shoot it like an R-rated film with all the sophistication and seriousness of an adult movie but with none of the R-rated trimmings like language or blood. He notes the falseness at work when the Independence crash lands on the asteroid. The way the windows blow out, the pilots and most everyone else on the ship would find the blood in their bodies being ripped out and their bodies generally being torn apart. He acknowledges how fake the crash is in the finished film. He notes something his grandfather told him: "You can make money if you sell stuff to middle America." That's exactly what he did.
