How strict is the Odeon Cinemas on ID?

Die Hard 4.0 is a 15? I thought it would be an 18.

That's just put me off watching it a bit, to be honest. Bet they cut loads of good stuff out to get 15.

it was ment to be a 12 lol its PG 13 in a america.

THere is going to be an unrated version of it on DVD, which will still be 15 but have all the blood and swearing that was originally cut out.

The cinema I worked in it was essential we ask for proof of age when taking tickets if we thought someone was under the age of the film certificate, if we didn't and were found to have let an underager in we could have faced the sack and the cinema could have been fined.

Really? I've never been asked by ID from those guys, even when I was younger. But I'm 20 now so things could have changed in recent years..?

Still, I stand corrected!

It's got a lot stricter past few years due to parents wanting to protect their little dears and coming in complaining when they have found out they have seen a film they shouldn't have etc.

I wonder if these are the same parents who get up in arms about the content of the latest 18 certificate video game that they brought for little Johnny?

Lol, reminded me of my mate a year ago. He went with us to see a movie which was a 15. He wasn't thinking and to save money, he said he was 14. They didn't let him in then

The one by me is pretty strict, they don't let me into a 15. But the next week they charge me for and adults ticket for a 12 film. They same guy on the counter the week before WTF. In my other local cinema (showcase) they dont care at all I got into 15's there when I was 11. And into 12's when I was 9.
