Certificate of our Film

From the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) website [x] a 15 film is described as no one under the age of 15 is allowed in at the cinema, able to buy/rent a 15 rated DVD as the content is not suitable for any child under the age limit.
A 15 is stronger than a 12a as it includes the following: Strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, strong verbal references to sex, sexual nudity, brief scenes of sexual violence, discriminatory language or behaviour and drug taking.
There can be strong threat or malice but extreme gore will not pass for a 15, the violence may also be strong. Easy access to weapons cannot be glamourised and although discriminatory themes can be explored it cannot endorse the behaviour.
We decided that our film had earned the 15 rating due to amount of violence that it will contain, the main fight sequence is intended to be graphic but not gory enough to need an 18 rating. We also intend to include a lot of swearing, mainly from the soldiers but they will not be extremely aggressive.
