Version:
2D
Use:
Cinema
Distributor:
Big Films limited
Cuts:
The BBFC initially refused to offer cuts because the changes would have been extensive and potentially damaging to the film. However, the distributor chose to re-edit the film themselves and submitted this new version for classification. As the distributor's edits had been unsuccessful in reducing the film's violence to 12A levels, it was also classified 15. The distributor requested a cuts list for 12A, which the BBFC provided. Cuts were made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy. An uncut 15 classification was available.
violence
Scenes of moderate violence include shootings, stabbings, slashings and blows with weapons such as sticks and bats. During a torture sequence, it is implied that a villainous character strikes people's heads using a mallet. There is occasional sight of blood in the aftermath of violence.
threat and horror
Terrified characters are lowered into large vats which are subsequently filled with sulphuric acid. The hero narrowly saves a child from a machete attack in public. A group of armed men advance on a man's family home.
language
There is use of moderate bad language ('gaand'), as well as milder terms such as bloody', 'shit', 'piss', 'screw', 'damn', ‘God’, 'moron' and 'hell'.
sex
Comic mild sex references occur.
suicide and self-harm
A man takes his own life off screen. Infrequent verbal references to suicide also occur. Police officers suspect a missing person has taken their own life, but this theory is proven false.
sexual violence and sexual threat
An unsympathetic character verbally threatens his foe’s female relative with sexual violence. However, this is brief and negatively presented.
theme
Very mild scenes of emotional upset occur in which characters grieve the loss of a loved one.
alcohol and smoking
Scenes feature adults smoking cigars and drinking alcohol.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
