> P.S. That this movie got rated PG-13 is quite surprising to me, in that it contained a few scenes which I found disturbing. I can't imagine that a child would be able to handle it. It's amazing how your film will get rated "R" the instant you mention sex or drugs in any sort of explicit manner, but violence is always cool.
Well, I read somewhere that the American censors ran for the hills at the slightest mention of sex or drugs, and the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) didn't care too much about that, but did have a major bee in its bonnet about violence. It's true, as well. Shagging is fine, but being hit in a vaguely cartoony manner? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Well, mebbe not that bad, but you get the point.
Seems they should take half the American censors, half the BBFC, standardise the ratings and produce identical versions both sides. Ob-la-di, ob-di-la.
