Yes. It was also the first movie to use the PG13 rating, despite the fact that it is far, far more violent than most R rated films.
err.. I thought that honor went to "Temple Of Doom"?
edit: okay I just checked IMDB, the trivia section for TOD, here was the applicable entry:
Quote:
Generally credited (along with Gremlins (1984)) with the creation of the PG-13 rating, as many felt the scenes of violence in both movies were too much for a PG rating, but not enough for an R rating. It is widely believed that had Steven Spielberg's name not been on both movies, both may have received an R rating. (The Flamingo Kid (1984) was the first film to be *given* a PG-13 rating, but sat on the shelves for five months before being released.) Red Dawn (1984) was the first motion picture released with the PG-13 rating

I really liked this movie as a kid but remembering it now, the premise is absolutely ridiculous If the Russian army invaded, why would they go around blowing up schools and McDonalds' in the midwest? It just seems like a really bizarre military strategy...

So they're apparently remaking this, updating it for modern times of course. So in that case can someone tell me how the title will make any sense?

I liked The Flamingo Kid too.
The first PG-13 movie I saw was Dune.

If I remember correctly, mine was Johnny Dangerously.
