Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, “That movie couldn’t be made today.”, and inevitably someone else will disagree.

      Well, the Rascals would be 100% cgi, not just because of the sometimes dangerous things the kids did, but also because they would not be allowed to be 12+ hours a day on set… at that age, they can only be on set for two hours a day IIRC, so filming this today with real actors would be horribly expensive.

      And don’t even think about topless bedscenes with a 13 or 14 year old actress…
