Casino Royale Given A 12A Certificate By BBFC
By Devin Zydel on 2006-10-27
While the US rating of PG-13 for Casino Royale was announced in mid-October, an official UK rating by the BBFC of 12A has finally been added to the official site today.
Casino Royale will be rated 12A for ‘one scene of torture and strong action violence.’ Pierce Brosnan’s final Bond film, Die Another Day, was also rated 12A. The previous three Bond films before that–The World Is Not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies, and GoldenEye–were all rated 12 as the current 12A rating was not introduced until 2002.
Some Bond fans debated whether or not Casino Royale would receive the higher 15 rating (which is still only held by one Bond film, Licence To Kill.)
