    “Son of a bitch” is pretty tame as swears go, particularly in the 80s where even G kids’ movies would probably be pushing PG-13 these days. I do agree having otherwise clean dialogue does increase the impact when it’s used, but I’d argue that it’s Mandy that really sells it. There’s a lot of real pain, loss, and anger behind that line when Mandy speaks it, and that gives it some serious weight.
