| | Posted: | | | | the rating maybe going up or down. the rules tells us: Quote:
Rating
Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover. When there is no rating, or an unrated version of the film on the disc, use the NR rating. Use the “Adult” rating for all Adult films. Example: Online Invelos DB: 12 BatmanRating and Review Board: 6 Batman (movie) | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | A difference in ratings shown on the DVD cover and the ones ruled for the feature films by the review boards might be caused by trailers that are included on the DVD.
For the DVD cover, the highest assigned rating is usually shown, resulting in several cases here in Germany of DVDs that are rated FSK-18 although the main feature contained is rated FSK-16 (the rental edition of Man On Fire comes to my mind).
Just remember that a lot of times you find the note "Special features not rated" on the cover of DVDs as well, which shows that the distribution companies draw a line between their own advertising trailers and other feature film connected bonus features.
IMO, the rating should always be taken from the DVD cover and/or the DVD itself (provided the latter carries a rating print). | | | | Lutz |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree -- this should come from the information on the DVD cover. The DVD and packaging are always the reference source.

| | Posted: | | | | WRONG answer, splogue. What do you do when you discover On Screen rating from the one that appears on the box. Not at all uncommon. Apparently R2, from the sound of it suffers from something R1 doesn't, it sounds like they even rate the extra materials. In R1 all I have ever seen is "Bonus Materials are not rated" or something similar.

| | Posted: | | | | I have one UK disc which has one rating on the front cover and a different rating on the back cover. The UK board of film classifications website lists it as the back cover's rating...but the database's front cover scan has an obvious "rating sticker" pasted over the rating of the front cover. I'd wager that the back cover's rating is correct and the front cover image should be replaced in the database?  | | | | Corey |

Ah, I see Unicus as usual just keeps making a bigger and bigger mess. Maybe it's me, but I really don't see anything messy in a rule that says: "Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover". If only all rules could be so perfectly clear and simple... But hey - if you don't agree with it, it must be a mess, right?  I have to say it gets a bit tiring to see you, for the umptheenth time, brush off someone who's absolutely right with a remark like "WRONG answer", while it is, once again, yourself who's got it wrong. Instead of going around accusing people of being "wrong", maybe it's a good idea to re-acquaint yourself with what's actually in the rules, rather than having to rely on the set of personal preferences that's currently stuck in your head. |

Skip What mess am I making? The rule is crystal clear. "Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover." On a side note, does your comment mean that you have put my on 'ignore'? If you have, then do not comment on my posts. As I recall, you gave quite a few users a bad time when they did that to you.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Wellet's see in you own inimitable style Unicus and Tim you both totally IGNORED a crucial point in order to to make total fools of yourselves.
