Skip to Content. During a recent evening of channel-surfing, I was pleasantly surprised to come across Splash. Ron Howard's comedy about an everyguy Tom Hanks who falls for a mermaid Daryl Hannah is a movie I loved as a kid, and I hadn't seen it in a long time, so I happily started watching. Apparently it really had been a long time, since I'd forgotten just how racy some of the humor is, from shots of Hannah running around naked, to her heavily implied "afternoon delight" with Hanks' character, to costar John Candy's habit of dropping coins to look up ladies' skirts. Let's just say I don't think it would be a shoo-in for a PG rating these days. Movies you thought of as innocuous when you were young may have iffier stuff than you remember -- or maybe it's just been ages since you saw anything other than the edited-for-TV version.
