Seeing all the swearing written out really let's you see how much there really is. I'm not looking to have some manic blood lust satiated but some of those great slap stick gore moments from D9 would have been nice.Įdit: I never knew about the use of the C word in District 9 until a showed the film to a class and had to put the subtitles on because the sound from the TV was crappy. Frequent strong language also required a '15' as only infrequent strong language is accepted at lower categoriesĬonsidering in how much they got away with in the UK its a pity Mad Max didn't have an international edit. Here the use is unclear and does not stand out, shouted against the noise of a helicopter during an intense action sequence.

Mad Max: Fury Road is visual cinema at its finest, orchestrated by a crazed genius with a particularly progressive stance and all the tools of his trade at his disposal.

Here the violence largely involves non-humans or is often seen in long shot with little opportunity for detail. Positive feedback towards the R-rated version convinced Warner Bros to release.

A PG-13 version was created, but only screened for American test-audiences. The BBFC Guidelines at '15' state that 'violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury'.

The video was published on August 25, 2015, to coincide with the films release on home video and Blu-ray. It parodies the 2015 action film Mad Max: Fury Road.
