The BBFC have officially rated AvPR as 15. No cuts have been made either and this is the same certificate as the first AvP. They also list the running time as 93m 37s. Presumably, that includes credits too.
I’m very disappointed. I really thought it would have been a sure 18.

The BBFC (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/0/5CC31E8E6369542A802573A7005855E9?OpenDocument) added it to their site yesterday:

They would of taken into account the amount of human related deaths ect.
As this is more creature based the rating would of not been an 18. We know what to expect from this movie, nothings been cut.

No it wasn't, 15 all the way.
f**k yeah! I'm allowed to see it, January 18th will be the happiest day of my life!
Oh yeah, and 300 was "gory" and it still got a 15, so was Doom, and both had nudity!

Oh thank Jesus... I can actually watch this in cinemas
It probably would have been out of our cinemas by the time I turned 18 (28th Feb)
I think it's something to do with the US rating dealie, theres like R and then NC-17, NC-17 I think is equal to our 18 rating but R is considered an 18 over there and isn't quite equal to anything over here.

Why are people bothered? We already know it's gory and has bad language. Are people angry purely because of the label 15? If so, that's ridiculous.
As I said, Alien was 15 when it was in cinemas a few years ago. We're getting the same film in all its adult detail. If it was exactly the same cut but someone randomly decided to give it an 18 it would make no difference.

They said they haven't cut it
The BBFC isn't allowed to lie...
Of course they could recall the rating and then cut it down to a 12A...

Alien hardly has any gore in, what do you expect?
The Predator movies would be an 18 even if they came out now.

No, no it isn't. Read the damn thread.
The uk has totally different age ratings.
We don't have "R"
The matrix was a 15 here, but my Matrix poster clearly says "rated R" on it.
I'm fine with this rating, Alien is a 15 (sadly so was avp) at least this means i can go and see it in the cinema now... :\ meh, you people in america arn't affected so i don't see why you should care.
Alien? Hardley any gore?
The chestbursting scene alone is worse than Saw. And that was an 18...
Ratings don't always depend on the level of gore alone.

I'm 16, I wouldn't be able to get into an 18... The odeon cinema is right across the road from me, they'd probably let me in, since they're losing customers to the new "Vue" cinema. I personally want to go to the Vue, nicer chairs, better quality, AWESOME sound. I'm happy i wont have to wait for a shitty rental copy or watch it online in a small streaming window...
This new rating has actually made me more excited for the movie, since theres no cuts, and it's exactly the same as what everyone else is watching with their "hard R" ratings, it's just that i can actually see it. :D

Just checked a calendar on the pc, if the expected release date of the 18th stays on, then it will open on friday, should be able to go on the opening day that way. Huzzah.

Like Darkness, I was sure it was gonna be rated '18'. It's really bemusing, because the general gist I get from this film is that it's f**king hardcore, but it gets the same rating as AvP...
And AvP is one of the most gore-lite, non-swearing 15-certificate films of all time.

I don't know. I would say the movie is about as gory as Predator 1, so I'm not sure why the rating is at 15.

Cgi blood most probably.
One of the main reasons why 300 was a 15.
Another note:
Team america was a 15 in the UK. Because it used puppets instead of real people.
Maybe it's the same here, aliens and predators.

Guess I'll see in January. I think the film would have to be in the ranks of Hostel or Saw to get an 18 in the UK. I guess that's what it's come to these days.
Although I felt more sick in the Redband trailer (acid face burn) than I did in saw. I thought that was disgustingly realistic. But after watching it 10,000,000 times it's now fine. :P

The gore in Predator is pretty tasteful in my opinion, the only thing that really made an impact in terms of gore was the skinned/gutted corpses of Hopper's team and Billy's spine rip. Considering we have all these "torture porn" movies out at the moment, if AVP-R is on the same level of gore as Predator then I think a 15 rating is about right.

One question: does Rated 15 allow kids in with parental supervision like the R rating over here, or is it strictly 15+? The way some people make it sound, they might not even get to see it due to their country's strict rating system and their age.

The ratings in the UK are fairly strict AFAIK, even if you are with an adult or guardian you will not be able to see this film if you are under the age of 15/18. The only rating that has any leeway is the 12a rating.

I'm pissed off to be honest. I was sure it would be an 18. Instead it has the same certifcate as AvP. >:(
I'm pleased and pissed off at the same time. Cos now, I'll be able to see it, but it won't be as gory as in other countries, or is it the same?
Quote from: WisePredator on Dec 04, 2007, 06:21:40 PM
No it wasn't, 15 all the way.
f**k yeah! I'm allowed to see it, January 18th will be the happiest day of my life!
Oh yeah, and 300 was "gory" and it still got a 15, so was Doom, and both had nudity!
Doom had nudity in it? Which part? ???

There is only 1 cut of the film that is being shown world wide.
Do you know the reasoning for it being 15 in the UK?
I don't know. I would say the movie is about as gory as Predator 1, so I'm not sure why the rating is at 15.
See, even Colin is confused.

Yeah this is the only thing that annoys me. IF I decide to see this at the cinema I am going during the week and/or at a very late showing so there will hopefully be no school kinds. I havn't been able to see a film rated below 18 recently without school kids acting like retards in the cinema. There are always a few token morons whenever you go to the cinema but the chances are much higher the lower the rating.
Also: I don't understand the big deal about wanting to see an 18 rated film. Unless you're actually underage and wanted to feel hardcore by sneaking in, seeing an 18 rated film is not a big deal for people.

look in this thread he has already commented
He told: "There is only 1 cut of the film that is being shown world wide."
and
"I don't know. I would say the movie is about as gory as Predator 1, so I'm not sure
why the rating is at 15. "
That doesn't mean they can't cut the final version at the last moment.
And he told the movie is gory as PRedator 1. What we heard and saw AvPR is more bloody movie than Alien 4. Alien 4 is 100 times more bloody than Predator 1. So i don't know. Im very confused.

Judging from what we've seen so far I don't think Colin has actually seen any of the alien movies, which is why he didn't use them as a point of reference.

To be fair people if the film includes all the red band trailer footage who cares if it's a 15 cos we're still gonna get all the stuff we want so i don't see the need for bitching.

I dont know about the rating system in the UK, but we in germany just got confirmed that it will be FSK: 18.
So its on the same level as the predator movies and surpasses the 16 alien movies.
The red band trailer has more gore in it then alien and aliens together. Im happy that it will have the same amount of gore as predator one, i like sick shit.
Predator is not in the regular commerce here because its very brutal, even Saw and hostel and films like that are not as forbidden as predator here. I hope same goes for avp-r, i love movies that are not so Trendy.

But from the trailers and Fangoria pic's, there is plenty of Human blood. I mean, look at the intestines of the women on the floor and the two heads getting blown off with the duel cannon's.
It's strange that it wasnt rated 18.

Your profile says your 21. What satisfaction is there to be had from watching an 18 rated film at your age?
QuoteI hope same goes for avp-r, i love movies that are not so Trendy.
AVP-R is attempting to appeal to an audience of 2-3 franchises (if you consider the AVP franchise as a 3rd entity) so of course it's going to be "trendy", it has a HUGE demographic to bring in.

Doom had guy, who cracked his skull open on the window glass, the other one teared his ear in fron of everyone, and a lot more. and there were f-bombs everywhere too. and it still was rated 15. conclude ;)

Yeah I am 21, but I have always wanted to see an 18 alien and predator film in the cinemas, since the age of 8, but when I got to 18, AVP 1 was 15 and I was hoping AVP-R wouldn't, think of all the annoying new kids that will see this film and get the wrong idea about these type of movies, because AVP-R might be there 1st alien or predator film.

You can drop quite a few "F-Bombs" as long as they're not used in a sexual context. IE you can shout stuff like "Get the f**k out of here!" or "OH f**k!" but you can't say "I want to f**k you" or "motherf**ker". This is because sex is the Devil and our children must be sheilded from it at all costs.

Its all the same version, its just the UK BBFC thinks this film should be a 15 and the USA thinks its should be an R rated movie is all.

It's pretty obvious. The BBFC does not believe that the film warrants an 18 certificate. We probably will see a lot of blood but besides a chestbursting or 2 and the skinned bodies I doubt we'll see anything overly visceral. Context is a huge issue that needs to be taken into consideration. For example a guy smashing someone's head open with a rock would be more offensive than an alien headbiting someone because it's more "real".

This is just doesn't make any sense! Rated 15 and there is no way there will be brutal chestburst from the kid and also there is no way we can see the pregnant woman's death in full glory! etc. etc. What kind of logic is this?

If you read the BBFC website, an 18 rating is only given in the most extreme circumstances EG. glamorising drugs/violence/explicit sex. Having an extremely bloody and violent movie will still only get you a 15 certificate as long as the pain, suffering and infliction is not lingered on and is not glorified.

I've seen the film so you don't have be ironic with your bold STRANGE. I've also seen the documentary on the MPAA which was only halfway entertaining. Anyway, I'm not a parent or anything but I disagree with the 15 rating. It's more R rated than 300 in my opinion. I think it's gore level is more on par with Predator 2 and Alien 3 than OG Predator. No offense Colin.

Maybe I'm just getting numb to it, but I would agree that the movie has some f**ked up scenes in that would should be above the 15 rating. Oh well.... I guess that's better for us because it means more people can see the film in the theaters.

QuoteAnyway, I'm not a parent or anything but I disagree with the 15 rating. It's more R rated than 300 in my opinion.
The BBFC rated 300 as a 15 too.
Quoted directly from the BBFC website;
Quotewhere material or treatment appears to the Board to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society – e.g. any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which is likely to promote the activity. The Board may also intervene with portrayals of sexual violence which might, e.g. eroticise or endorse sexual assault.
the more explicit images of sexual activity – unless they can be exceptionally justified by context and the work is not a 'sex work' as defined below.
So even though some of your movie might be really f**ked up, it won't get you your 18 certificate unless you try to actually promote the violence.

it doesn' change the fact, that was the same, good, old alien, and it had added scene with cocooned Dallas asking with painful voice to kill him.

Why are people bothered? We already know it's gory and has bad language. Are people angry purely because of the label 15? If so, that's ridiculous.
As I said, Alien was 15 when it was in cinemas a few years ago. We're getting the same film in all its adult detail. If it was exactly the same cut but someone randomly decided to give it an 18 it would make no difference.
While I had also assumed we'd be getting an 18, I'm also not fussed about it being a 15. Like Lovely just said, and like I used to tell you way back when - and if I recall, you didn't believe me - Alien was re-released as a 15. It was gory, not to the level of other stuff but still. Predator isn't that gory. Not to todays standards. Have you not seen 30 Days of Night?

I would argue that Predator was a far more gruesome movie than Predator 2. Sure 2 is very "bloody" and violent, but aside from some skinned bodies and Keys cut in-half by the Smart-Disc(where'd the top half go?) I don't think there was any significant shots of gore in it. Part 1 has a blown open chest, skinned bodies, a disembowled corpse, close-up on brains being blown-out, close-up spine ripping etc'etc'. Sure it's certainly not a splatterfest, but the gore that's there is very harsh and graphic.

Quote from: Crom on Dec 04, 2007, 11:12:35 PMOoh, ooh! Not having an immature atmosphere, not using gratuitous CGI for gore - Although I realise that was pretty much out of anyone's control - emotional impact, visceral impact, good acting and that ... what's it called ... restraint! Yeah.
If brutally killing women and children doesn't get you an 18, what does?
"Restraint?" you say! "Bitch be crazy! Restraint doesn't give you a higher rating!"
Except for the fact that by withholding on some scenes you make others far more effective. It's the saturation effect. If you keep chucking gore and shocks at an audience, they're going to get real jaded real fast. I watched Hostel, the uncut version, all the way through, and by the time it got to the eye bit I just didn't give a damn anymore. But I showed the eye bit at the end to some people who hadn't seen the rest of the movie and they damn near threw up on the spot.
The ratings peeps take that kind'a stuff into account. High impact violence. If you have heads splattering and kids being killed and women being ravaged every ten minutes, shit, it just turns into farce. And these day every horror movie and its dog is trying to be 'shocking' and 'break the rules' by killing kids in increasingly nasty ways. We've seen it all before. It was vaguely effective the first time. It was laughable the following three hundred.

Predator 2 isn't that gory either. The after maths of that film are what make it seem really gory. I never understood why that film was banned in some places across the globe.

I don't know what Greater Union is smoking, but every other Australian movie theater, (As well as the official Australian AVPR website) says December 26th, a day after the US.
Speaking of which, does anyone know what rating we're getting? I originally thought that it would be MA, but this news that it's about as bad as Predator 1makes me thing maybe just M.

Well originally, MA sounded about right, but I'm not sure any more. M would be great (becasue then I could see it by myself) but MA would still be allright, I could just go with a parent.
That's right, I'm 14. Didn't see that one coming, did you!

I'm not too bothered about the 15 rating for the UK, although it now means sharing the cinema with 15 year olds and 13/14 year olds who managed to get in. Nothing against teens under 18 but I really did think this would be rated 18 and was something alot of us older fans in the UK wanted to see. Oh well, it's a shame because the poster below looks alot more appealing with an 18 certificate stuck on it.

QuoteIt's not worth an 18 rating. Not anymore.Its even more worth an 18 today, todays movies are for candy asses, they dont show that brutality from the 80´s anymore. Alien is right for an 15, because besides the chestburster scene there is no gore in it. Predator has skinned bodys, arm blown off, plasma headshot with the blood going directly into the camera, hawkins guts in the bush and we get a good scene from him hanging in the trees, blain of course with a good closeup of his rip-cage, ice cold head shot to the hostage etc etc...
It is definitially woth an 18 worldwide.
The only films that are reaching the brutality of the 80´s are films like Hostel and Saw 3. Thats about it.

UK always has a different rating and sometimes a different cut of the movie. So don't worry about that. This is just they "exclusive" thing for them. No offense.

If brutally killing women and children doesn't get you an 18, what does?
"Restraint?" you say! "Bitch be crazy! Restraint doesn't give you a higher rating!"

I watched Hostel, the uncut version, all the way through, and by the time it got to the eye bit I just didn't give a damn anymore. But I showed the eye bit at the end to some people who hadn't seen the rest of the movie and they damn near threw up on the spot.
The ratings peeps take that kind'a stuff into account. High impact violence. If you have heads splattering and kids being killed and women being ravaged every ten minutes, shit, it just turns into farce. And these day every horror movie and its dog is trying to be 'shocking' and 'break the rules' by killing kids in increasingly nasty ways. We've seen it all before.

And those 2 pics are production pics and not even in the movie. The only thing that is in the movie is the pic in the middle, doesnt look that gory to be honest.

Predator has skinned bodys, arm blown off, plasma headshot with the blood going directly into the camera, hawkins guts in the bush and we get a good scene from him hanging in the trees, blain of course with a good closeup of his rip-cage, ice cold head shot to the hostage etc etc...
It is definitially woth an 18 worldwide.
The only films that are reaching the brutality of the 80´s are films like Hostel and Saw 3. Thats about it.
...Have you not actually seen Alien?

There's a reason that scene made people throw-up. Even the 15 aged re-release. Nothing in Predator compares to the CB.
I watched it as a kid and it didnt effect me at all... but the skinned bodys and the ripped out spine did.
And those 2 pics are production pics and not even in the movie. The only thing that is in the movie is the pic in the middle, doesnt look that gory to be honest.
Dude, nothing in Predator comes close to being as gory as Alien. Mctiernan deliberately toned down the gore where as Ridley amped it up. Ridley was trying to generate disgust, where as Mctiernan was trying to show brutality, hence why the guys in Predator screamed in pain a lot.

f**k yeah! I'm allowed to see it, January 18th will be the happiest day of my life!
Oh yeah, and 300 was "gory" and it still got a 15, so was Doom, and both had nudity!
Doom had nudity in it? Which part? ???

Not at all. People threw up in the re-release of the Director's Cut. Something which Sir Ridley was quite proud of, if memory servers. The headbite. Gorier than the spine ripping. I would go over there and say it, but I have no doubt they'll mostly be stuborn fan boys such as yourself. And we all know what they're like.

The spine rip took place during the day, and the "skull corvered in meat" was seen in front of white fog...
And there were no explosions of brain and blood in Alien, except for the Chestburst.

There's a distinctive loss of brain matter from both Brett and Parker when they're head bitten. It's all done with quick cuts though, no lingering shots.
I was pretty sure Johhny was your average troll but this thread makes me think that he genuinely beleives his own BS, and that is more frightening than the whole Alien franchise put together.

Which head bite are we talking about here? 'Cause I swear none of them were particularly gory, it was the fact that we knew that guy just had his skull caved in which was gross. All of them were split second shots anyway, Scott left a lot to the imagination.
AS for the spine rip, the sounds alone are disgusting.

Yeah, definitely is an opinion thing. Don't get me wrong, the Chestburst is the big daddy of gore, but the Spine rip in Predator I've always found particularly disgusting.

The chestbursting is the only real moment of gore in Alien, any other kind of violence towards the human characters is done with split-second editing and obscure camera angles. It's quite obvious to me that aside from the aforementioned chestbursting, Scott chose to leave alot more to the viewers imagination. This especially holds true concerning Lambert's death, which is offscreen using her genuinely horrific gasps & screams. Personally I feel that Lambert's death is the most disturbing sequence in the film.
Now yes, McTeirnan did decide to tone down the violence and gore level in Predator. Having that said, it still remains a very gory film none-the-less. And it's far more graphic than Alien, I mean there really isn't any comparison between the 2 in that respect.

I can't believe you guys are still arguing about this. Sure, the Chestburster is a gory shot. If it was that gory, the Alien DC would have been 18, right?
Alien doesn't even compare to the Predator movies. There's way more gore in them than in Alien. It's all the way though. They would always be an 18.

I definatly agree that Predator is gorier. Oh, and just for record, in Australia all of the Alien movies except number 4 is M, as well as the 1st Predator. The 2nd predator movie and Alien res were MA.
M=PG 13
MA=in between PG 13 and R

It might seem that Australia is more liberal with censorship - but it's not. Anything that is refused classification are banned. You can't release anything 'unrated' like in the USA.

Yeah, but that's only the director's cut, I'm talking about the theatrical version. Also, Predator 2 was originally rated R! I never really thought that it was that bad.

this day and age, gore isnt a factor. if a movie is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy gory, and not much sex, most of the time it gets 15. usualy, any racist comments, hardcore sex, ect, gets it an 18. im glad that i will be able to see it now, im only 14, but i can pass ;D. anyway, i want to see it because its AVP, not because i can. but it better be good.

lol ...thank god Im a true Brit then lol. Back on topic, I dont think this 15 rating here for AvP-R is necessarily a bad thing, and we all know things change. Anyone rememeber a time when A Clockwork Orange was banned in the UK for almost 30 years, yet when it was finally released it wasnt even an 18 ...strange eh!!

Ooops, sorry nukem11 your right I was wrong. Just double checked on AvP when it was released here and it was indeed 12a...sorry mate. Dunno why some places got it as a 15 cant really answer that one but it was definately 12a here in north east

Just an old local movie magazine I kept, havent really checked it out online but am aware it was supposed to be 15. For whatever reason, here (at one multiplex cinema anyway) it was 12a. Could be a miss-print, I never saw AvP til it came out on DVD anyway. Gotta admit though the PG-13 was a memory thing lol

Ok strike my last comment as I finally managed to get into the site properly, the 12 rating is because its a trailer doesnt actually say that until you click on that link, but sometimes the corresponding links dont open.

How can a movie showing 'moderate horror' have the same rating as AVPR with the latter having much more gore (HUMAN blood), whether fake or not...?

I think AvP wa a 15 in the UK due to the suspense and appearence of the characters (they deemed it too frightening for people of 12 years and have learnt from the 12a rating of T3). But unlike films such as Hostel or Saw (both 18), the violence isn't being inflicted by another human (and thus warping teenagers fragile minds, like they believe Manhunt did etc and creating copycats) but by a monster.
Not many monster movies garner an 18 rating here unless there is some kind of human involvement in the deaths.

R rating in USA is 17, there is no 15s only PG 13, 14 and R, so they don't have to worry. You can find cheap ass crappy martial arts films that are 18 with no blood or a single swear word, but a mans face burning of by acid is acceptable? I am really angry about this >:(

remeber the board of classification has changed a hell of a lot over tme im an 80s video child and what passed fo 15 them is tantemount to pg now(also last i knew american parents can take their kids to see r rated films unlike the uk. nc17 is americas 18 in the uk need confirmation i havent read any of the shit for ages swearing takes a back seat and also remember if it looks like action killing its seen diffrently due to how its interpreted. like if its done in malice with human actors not rubber suited guys then it bears more of a resdemblance to life rather than fiction last i read as well the american mpaa views sex worse than violence again like i say its all moved on since saving private ryan 15 and jurassic park pg whats acceptable here in the uk as we seem to deem action flicks in a diffrent light now if they reclassed other movies in uk id bet alien would still be 18 n aliens would be 15 the reason being atmosspere of the original as opposed to an action oriented sequel and itchi the killer a u certificate lol

sin city is a family movie in japan... so maybe when a jap tv channel got the rights for broadcast it, surely it'll be in open tv in a familiar channel at a very popular time like 4:00pm

I know films that were rated 18 back in the day would only be a 15 now! because time, people and film making has changed, But its the fact another 15 Certificate AVP movie, Its just makes the film tacky, cheap and for kids! >:( This news has put a sour taste in my mouth!!

having lived in both the UK and the US this is not really surprising to meI thinkt he UK has better tougher laws about at what age people should be allowed in to see certain types of movie for instance in the US I watched mothers taking children that looked as young as 3 or 4 to watch 28 days later and having to sit through the movie while their kids screamed because they didn't like what was going on. Yet in the UK if you are not 15 you ain't getting in to a 15 and people who work at cinemas will ask for proff of age. Bottom line is I dunno what people are getting upset about the 15 certificate this is still gonna be a great movie

15 in uk usualy means r in usa just like saving private ryan was 15 uk yet us r rated usa so when the american made film avp2 suggest it will be an 18 by their film staff etc, it does not neccisarily mean to those from the uk it will be an 18 over here please uk people reading. what the classification our country use,s differs imensly from the american standard as do all other countrys .were leniant on some stuff were as i dont want to sound daft the americans see other things as more to their tastes or not as it may be to others, i point out homosexuality ,smoking and naked blokes(not in a gay sense but in the same way as below) yet they view female full nudity as ok and will rate a film lower for it fck know what smokings got to do with making a movie a higher rating cos it,d mean theyd have to go thru the back catalog and re rate all me mothers movies 15 and the sexual tension in some would have them x rated

I don't know what you're all whining about. Here in Australia the highest any of the films has been rated is the uncut Predator 2, which only got an R-rating because of the drug-taking scenes anyway. Other than than every Alien and Predator film has been rated M15 or MA15+, simply because both America's PG13 and R translate into an Australian M15 or MA15+ (our R-rating is restricted for extremely violent or sexually explicit films and is hardly ever used). IN this respect the UK is much more similar to Australia than the US, so this means nothing! No change, no dumbing down, no cutting, so shut up!

The Terminator has been re-certificated as a 15 from an 18 a few years back, and it didnt suffer any cuts. The Punisher was an 18 but should have been a 15, Troy/Gladiator/300/Kingdom of Heaven/30 days of Night/Dog Soldiers all have plenty of blood n' guts and they were 15. I am just a little peeved that its short but when the DVD comes out with that 'sub-plot' that the bros said they chopped out. So wait and see,

hey everyone if you check out the actual BBFC site theres a few other troubling facts mentioned -'The BBFC has placed this work in the ACTION genre(s).' doesnt mention suspence or horror -"When a film is transferred to video the running time will be shorter by approximately 4% due to the differing number of frames per second. This does not mean that the video version has been cut or re-edited." great, possibly even shorter now WOW! dissapointing to say the least.

This sucks because now all the 13 and 14 year olds will no doubt be able to pass for 15 and get in to see it, and no offence to any under 18' s here but that is one of the reasons I never went to the cinema to see the first AVP, seeing a que of kids waiting to get in and see it put me off and alot of other people. It will be the same around this time, I have already been told by at least 20 people I know who are in their 20's and 30's that they aren't bothering to go and see it now and I doubt very much that I will either. Going back to the roots? Yeah right!

93 minutes long unedited from the American's cut. Let's hope that unlike AVP, that out it's 100 that 11 of them are credits, that it doesn't have long credits making the film shorter. Who has heard of a film with a WHOLE NINTH of their film JUST CREDITS!!

If theres a whole lot of people working on the film then you whould need longer credits to show all of they're names,whereas if you've only got about three guys then the credits can be shown at the begining and it'll take only about 4 seconds.Also keep in mind people that when Wilma Flintstone got pregnant EVERYONE went ballistic!.Now in everyother cartoon someone is pregnant.In the T.V. show The Munsters Lily and Herman shared a bed together,and back then spouses had seperate beds and a bed in the attic to....you know.And when the movie PSYKO came out everyone said it was too violent,and people actualy screamed in the theaters!.Now you see more violence in that T.V. show Family Guy.So just relax and calm down!!! ;D .

Also for those of you who are still complaining about the shortness of the movie,P1 was 107 minutes long because they needed to introduce the predator.A1 was 117 minutes long because they needed to introduce the alien.In AVPR you dont need the extra 20 minutes to introduce the E.T.s because you already know about them and so if they did re-introduce the E.T.s you'd be sitting there for 20 minutes going "Oh geez!.When is it going to get to the good parts!?!".94 minutes is enough time to fully cover the story ;D .

Not that I care, but how could the BBFC rate this movie so low? I mean, don't you guys remember the very first trailer we saw? You know, the red banned trailer, where the two guys get their heads blasted off, another person gets his face ruined by the Aliens's acid and one more character gets an Alien's tail right trought his head, do you remember that one? Wasn't that at all contet for a strongly R rated motion picture? I'm adult anyway, so I don't worry about not getting my tickets because of my age, but I'm sort of confused that this kind of material is meant to be consumed by youths. Yeah, nowadays they're used to intense gore in the media and the majority can handle it, but what do you have to produce in those days, to get an "Horror"-movie for grown ups only? My thought is, that the mentioned scenes are cut pretty short. You know, like the chestbuster-sequence in the first AVP-film. Anyway... still looking forward to the final product. :)

So no, every person does NOT have the same right to see it if they aren't old enough. If that was the case there would be no movie ratings and every movie would be exempt from classification. And I wanted AvP-R to be an 18 because I don't wan't to be in a cinema with a load of under 15's who managed to get in who shouldn't even be in there watching it. The Alien & Predator movies are adult movies, not kid movies like the first AvP was. Being one of the older fans who have grown up with the franchise I wanted this movie to be an 18 which is one of the things that alot of the older fans wanted to see happen.
