I'm auditing this title and found a rating annotation I've never seen before (both filmratings.com and mpaa.org have the following, verbatim):

Title:    Revelation (1999) 
Rating:    PG-13 
Rating Reason:    Rated PG-13 on appeal for violence. 
Distributor:    Providence Entertainment 
Other:    Appeal
Previously rated (R) in (1999).

The Rating is easy enough, but should the Rating Details be "On Appeal for Violence" or just "Violence"?  I think the latter, because the "on appeal" part seems to mean that the rating of R was appealed (and lowered to PG-13).

I would go with just 'Violence' for the reason you mentioned.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Unless the movie is rated PG-13 becomes in the movie someone appealed for violence?
