What is the british FILM RATING equivalent of an American r?

Answer:
An R in America means that under 17's require an adult.


This can be translated as a British 15 or 18 depending on how the British Board of Film Classification want to classify it.


example Orphan in America is R rated in the UK it is 15 rated


R rated in the UK is 15

America's NC-17 in the UK is 18


hope that helps


i don't know why they bother in this day and age 15 rated or 18 rated are not just being watched by 15 and 18 year olds under 15's and 18's seem to watch these type of films
