If I recall correctly, the MPAA justified this by saying the film showed all this comic book-style, in shadow and shillouette. Still, I've seen a lot as a longtime movie fan, including films by Pasolini, Peckinpah and Tarantino (and others I'd better not name), and "Sin City" was one of those that nearly made me loose my cookies in the theater. And I *loved* "Sin City."
