“Return of the Jedi,” “Jurassic Park,” “School of Rock,” “The Addams Family,” “Santa Claus: The Movie” and “Casper” all saw their U.K. age scores raised by movie censors in 2023 according to The Daily Mail
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has supposedly upped the age limitation on some household movies formerly ranked U and are now PG due to issues around violence and bad language.
The outcome is a movie like “Return of the Jedi” has actually been “ruled as no longer appropriate for kids due to the scenes of violence”.
“Santa Claus: The Movie” the film saw its score raised to PG since of both moderate violence and usage of the word ‘crap’ surpassing its present standards.
“Jurassic Park” was raised from a PG to a 12A for its ‘moderate danger, violence, bloody images’.
On the flipside, the BBFC has actually reduced other movies where the ‘assistance’ around violence is stated to have ‘developed’. “Raging Bull,” “Enter the Dragon” and the initial “Friday the 13th” have actually all seen their 18 rankings dropped to 15.
A BBFC representative informs the paper: “We started our most current standards evaluate this year where we spoke with a varied series of moms and dads, households, teens and teachers throughout the length and breadth of the nation.”
