BIG GAME is an action adventure in which a 13-year-old boy has to protect the US President from terrorists when Air Force One crashes over a remote area of Finland.
- Violence
There are scenes of fighting throughout. The strongest scene shows a character being head-butted, before being punched in the face, elbowed in the back, and then garrotted under water with a piece of wire; the violence is crunchy but there is no strong impact or injury detail. A man also has his head slammed against a metal surface, and there is some blood on his face.
- Injury detail
Dead bodies are seen lying on the ground, and floating in water, with blood on their faces and clothes.
- Language
There is a single use of strong language ('motherf**ker'), which is only partially audible, as well as uses of mild bad language such as 'God', 'damn', 'shit', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'hell', 'bitch', 'piss', 'balls' and 'ass'.
Precuts information
During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission
Note: The following text may contain spoilers
This film was originally seen for advice, at which stage the company was informed it was likely to receive a 15 classification but that their preferred 12A could be achieved by removing a single use of a strong term ('motherf**ker'). When the film was submitted for formal classification, this term had been partially obscured and the film was classified 12A.
