Certificate
The film was rated a 15 however controversially the series was an 18. This could suggest by lowering the rating and cutting out some inappropriate scenes that it would attract a larger audience, To add to that because the film was released in August, the summer holidays, the seasonal demand would be at a peak for families and teenagers, so the lower the rating the more viewers they would get at that period of time.
