None of the Bond films were re-viewed by the BBFC for the 2022 re-releases. I went to see Casino Royale at Vue which was listed as 15 on the website but had 12A printed on the ticket. The movie was the uncut 15 version. Great video.
The 2022 releases were slightly dodgy as the BBFC hinted that the local authority should be approving as many still were "A" rated for cinema release. As for Casino Royale, 2 cinemas near me, one was 15 (VUE), the other 12A (Odeon). It was a bit of a mess and a minefield for parents who have young 007 fans.
@@loftlegacy The 2022 re-releases weren't a case of the BBFC attaching ratings to the films but instead the individual cinemas researching the ratings and listing the films with the certificates that they found which explains why it was so messy.
@@thefoxcritic1 I think the cinemas were using their best judgement. None had a BBFC black card, except at the Odeon when they had a wobbly looking "PG" logo on it's own on screen.
@@loftlegacy Pretty positive they just researched the ratings for them. I saw Spectre at Vue and that had a BBFC Black Card, which was the one from its release in 2015. Not sure why they did it for Spectre and I don't know if they did it for any others, but it was awesome seeing that old black card back on the big screen
VUE cinema screened GoldenEye (as a double bill with The Worlds is not Enough) back in 2015, which I attended, and it was listed as a 12A despite it being the uncut 15 version
For the American market, a film with two F-bombs will not be rated PG-13 and will definitely get at least R. As a result, the notion has developed that if you're targeting PG-13, you're "entitled" to one F-bomb, and so filmmakers try and deploy it strategically so it gets dropped at an impactful moment. I don't know if the BBFC have such a strict rule for language to distinguish 12(A) from 15, but the MPAA having that rule is why in PG-13 action films you almost always have a pivotal moment in the film where the bomb gets dropped.
The BBFC are a little more vague.For a 12/12A they say "Language There may be moderate bad language. Strong language may be permitted, depending on the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency within the work as a whole and any special contextual justification." and for a PG "Language Mild bad language only. Aggressive or very frequent use of mild bad language may result in a work being passed at a higher category." BBFC are a little "faddy" and do change direction. In the 80's they were very anti-firearms in guns and now.
The first few black cards in 1985 were left blank for the BBFC President as a mark of respect to Lord Harlech whom died in a car accident in January that year. They just had James Ferman's signature as Director of the BBFC. Great vid nonetheless!
Thanks, I never knew that. Lord Harlech was an interesting character and many say he influenced the world not being led to nuclear war when he was our Ambassador to the US during the Cuban missile crisis. The BBFC President is now bizarrely Natasha Kaplinsky, who unlike Lord Harlech is teetotal.

@@thefoxcritic1 I was so looking forward to the old "A" black card, but sadly there was none for the older ones at Vue.
Liking your channel mate! Loving your talks about Bond, music and all those old ads! You've earned a subscriber 🙂
Thank you, lots more to come.

I can imagine and it does make a mockery out of the ratings system.

@@loftlegacy Ha ha! True! Hard-drinkers are dying out! Literally!
5:02 well in the US TV-14 is actually our rating for 12 (and a little bit of 15)
