Monty Burns Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Is there a website that details what the content of a film is. I ask this because I watched Due Date with my ten year old son, as the bit at the start said nothing about sexual scenes. Cue embarrasment when he starts having a wank in the car!!! Ive recorded Blade Runner as I liked it when I was ten, but when it comes on it says sexual scenes, I cant remember any but I dont fancy watching it just to check it out before watching it agan!!!

beag_teeets Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Mr Skin apparently, although this might not be what you're really after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Try the bbfc website after all they are the ones who designate the suitability for children etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If you have it on DVD/Blu-Ray then there should be a bit on that back that says what to expect in this film. If it was on tv they usually tell you before the programme begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebOAFC Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 IMDB has a Parent guide for most films, eg http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1231583/parentalguide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 bbfc website would be the best bet. As an example Here is what it says for due date: Extended Classification Information is available for this work. ECI may contain plot details and/or spoilers. Learn more » about ECI or Show details » DUE DATE is a U.S. comedy about an architect who is forced to hitch a ride across the country with an aspiring actor in order to get home to L.A. for the birth of his first child. It was classified ‘15’ for strong language, drug and sex references. The BBFC’s Guidelines at ’12A’/’12’ state ‘The use of strong language (for example, :censored:) must be infrequent’. DUE DATE contains around forty uses of strong language. The film is therefore more appropriately placed at ‘15’ where the Guidelines state that ‘There may be frequent use of strong language’. The Guidelines at ‘15’ also state that ‘Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug use’. DUE DATE contains some scenes showing drug taking. For example, in one scene a man is shown smoking a cannabis pipe whilst he drives. The behaviour clearly has negative consequences so the film as a whole does not encourage drug use. Additionally, at ‘12A’/’12’ the Guidelines state that ‘Sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers’. DUE DATE contains one scene in which the aspiring actor is heard masturbating. Although comic, the scene is neither brief nor discreet and also places the film at ‘15’, where the Guidelines state that ‘There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour’. DUE DATE also contains some moderate comic violence and one gory moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice one, thanks. For the record I told him he was 'just playing with it' and the sound 'must have been his watch rattling or sumat' which I thought was rather good under pressure!!

Monty Burns Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 BLADE RUNNER also includes one muffled use of strong language, brief nudity and mild sex references. Should be OK.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
