Understanding BBFC Age Ratings

The BBFC is responsible for classifying films in the UK based on their content. They use age ratings to help determine what movies are appropriate for different age groups. A U rating means films are generally suitable for all ages, a PG rating means parental guidance is recommended for children under 8, and films rated 12A, 15, or 18 can only be viewed by audiences at or above those ages due to increasingly strong language, violence, sexual content or drug use they may contain. The BBFC provides detailed guidelines about what types of content are allowed at each rating level to help filmmakers and audiences understand the classification system.

The r18 scene is a different one, a sort special


one. Can only be viewed by adults as it
contains of high levels of sexual content, it is
highly restricted, and monitored.

As my movie is an action thriller, these


sort of films are based around kids of
these ages. In a 15 you many see Any of
the following:

This is because at this age they have properly


reached the maturity levels, to view such extreme
scenes. But they are limits to how much you can
actually show.
In terms of strong language you may hear c**t and
f**k also it is depending on the manner it is said in. If
it continually said and aggressive it will not pass as
a 15. As it may be a bit to much aggressive for a child
of that age.
It is allowed to show strong scenes of violence, but
not allowed to dwell on scenes of pain and injury.
Strong sadistic violence is also unlikely to be
acceptable
