What was the age restriction when you originally watched it in cinemas?


I was 12 years old and this movie had an age restriction of "No Under 13," which I think was the equivalent of PG13 in the USA. That's nuts because I'm about 20 minutes in and there have been two headshots so far, and one them includes blood/brains splattering all over a curtain.

The 90s were chilled. "The Matrix" was also No Under 13 when it was released in cinemas, but it was changed to No Under 16 (the equivalent of an R-rating in America) when it was released to home video.

The blood and the emotional intensity was enough to make it an R in the US.
