Plus, another issue with UK releases, for some, are the ratings logos from BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) and IFCO (Irish Film Censors Office) appearing on the front cover art, and even on the spine of the packaging.

US releases only have the ratings indicated at the back, as they are voluntary and not legally required for distribution, unlike in the UK and Australia. German releases also have the ratings on the front but French releases usually don't.

Although it is voluntary for filmmaker to decide whether want to submit film for rating or not, but for theatrical release in US, unless filmmaker only intend to show his/her film in very limited theaters, otherwise their have to send their film to MPAA for rating.

QUOTE
Currently, the MPAA has 5 main ratings:

Unrestricted
G for General - Nothing that would offend parents for viewing by their children.
PG for Parental Guidance - Parents urged to give "parental guidance". May contain some material parents might not like for their young children.
PG-13 for Parental Guidance 13+ - Parents urged to be cautious. Some material may be inappropriate for pre-teenagers.

Restricted
R for Restricted - Contains some adult material. Parents urged to learn more about the film before taking their young children with them.
NC-17 for No Children Under 17 Admitted - Patently adult. Children are not admitted.

Other
NR for Not Rated - Not Yet Rated, or an Uncensored R or NC-17 Movie.

Banned
[UNRATED] Professional Use Only (and all must be 21+)

talking about ratings in home video format, does the parental lock feature on players still applicable in this day & age when the minors seemed more tech-savvy & know how to work around or overide it than the parents? tongue.gif

low, this is indeed true for theatrical release. However as this is a thread for Blu-ray releases, it's worth noting that the voluntary status is apparent when there are many US Blu-ray releases which are Unrated such as The Dirty Dozen, The Poseidon Adventure, Basic Instinct, Robocop, The Stepfather: Unrated Director's Cut, Magnificent Seven (upcoming), Fringe (the TV Series) etc and several having both the Theatrical and Unrated versions like Robin Hood and The Eagle. rclxms.gif The Unrated status sometimes even becomes a selling point for the disc.

Despite having stock, some greedy stores would go ahead and clear out the display sets. Display sets are not guaranteed to function as it should. So always get the stored stocks instead displays.

Talking about rated, unrated, extended cut, director's cut... wow, usually these versions are the preferred ones to the theatrical. Only one movie that i dont quite like the director's cut... Mel Gibson's Payback. I prefer the former cut (editing), cinematography mood & the main villain! nod.gif
