November 25, 1987 –
The now classic John Hughes’ Thanksgiving film, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, starring Steve Martin and John Candy, premiered in the US on this date.
The Marathon Car Rental scene is exactly one minute long from the time Steve Martin starts his tirade, to the time the attendant ends the scene. In that sixty seconds, the “F” word is used eighteen times. The film would’ve easily been rated PG or PG-13 by the MPAA if it weren’t for this one scene.
