Moore used strong language in a complaint to DasGamer while arguing the R rating was unjust when comparing Max Payne to similarly intense blockbusters.

“The Motion Picture Association of America gave The Dark Knight a PG-13 rating and basically sucked Warner Bros.’ cock,” said Moore at the time.

After Moore and his crew “trimmed some frames more for the sake of trimming frames,” the MPAA reconsidered, and the film will now make it to theaters with the friendlier rating.

The director also announced he is planning a “Gamer Dedicated Cut” of the film.
