I tried to make a list of PG or PG-13 adventure films of the 1970's and 1980's that did not involve the paranormal (so that excludes Star Wars and Indiana Jones; all the Indiana Jones films involved magic) or overly advanced technology. Basically, adventure films that did not feature technology on a level of more that what you could buy from a sporting goods/hunting store or from Soldier of Fortune (so that excludes Doc Savage's gadgets in the 1975 film). So "spy-fi" (a pormanteau word combining science fiction and spy fiction) films stand as excluded, and Doc Savage's gadgets exclude him from the list.
Other than the Virgil Tibbs films, I could not think of many.
