The BBFC has officially rated Predators a 15 in the UK for “strong violence, gory images, language and sex references”. It was passed with no cuts made. Both AvP and AvP Requiem were rated 15 here but all previous Alien and Predator movies were originally rated 18.

Thanks to Darkoo for the news.

good news for box office income, bad news for 18 rating fans, here's hoping that the US's unrated dvd will be an 18.

I'm surprised it's a 15 here in the UK, considering the "Hard R" hype from the makers (equivalent to an 18 rating here), but the description of the rating sounds what we would expect, so that's good. Interestingly, Predator 2 was re-rated from an original 18 down to a 15 in recent years. Perhaps the rating for Predator 1 will go down to a 15 once the new Blu-ray edition is released in a week or two. 18 rated films are more in line with the extreme graphic nature of the "Saw" franchise or movies that contain sex scenes.

Not too bothered, Aliens would barely be a 15 these days - it's all about the mood of the film.

ITs about the tolerance of the times. Many films that were rated R in the past could easily get a pg13 rating if they were rated or released today.

From what I've seen this film seems to be as "graphic" as P1. The lower rating could very well be the product of the continual pushing of boundaries in cinema. What was an "18" 20+ years ago isn't necessarily an "18" now.

dont worry if it had a single scene of full nudity along with the gore then it WOULD be an 18 .besides it dont matter how violent movies are these days anyways they will still rate it 15 . its a different time nowadays.
