This movie was likely an R, and maybe a hard one at that, edited somewhat to get a PG. It was like "Poltergeist" (which came 7 years later), which was a hard R originally, trimmed down to get a PG, except this movie has a code unlike the Jerry Goldsmith-composed production.
Some moderate violence, sometimes serious, but some scenes are more comical (such as one of Pilot's henchman being threatened by Sheba, to have his head messed up badly by the car washing machines, it's played for laughs). This is a comedy action movie, after all. Hence one reason this movie didn't outright become R-rated.
There's a very nasty scene where some racist Yankees rob the place of our protagonist's father. Fairly graphic shooting, borderline R-rated, but not too graphic. Her father is badly hurt.
Some bloodshed.
