Dredd (2012)

[JOE SOAP]

The groin biting would have prevented the 15, IMHO.

It was suggested rather than seen though.

[Steve Green]

I think if the skinning flashback hadn't been there it might have scraped a 15.

[Spikes]

Aside from the more graphic violence, stuff like headbutts and the throat chop, in Dredd, maybe would have been problematic. The UK censors baulked at owt like that - easily re-created violence.
Though hasnt a headbutt recently been re-instated back into one of the Star Wars prequels? As is often the case, over the years, stuff that would have earned an 'X' or an '18' cert, is now available to watch at a much lower rating.

[Fisticuffs]

Agreed. 'Fantasy Violence' is alot more acceptable, you can decapitate any number of green blooded Orcs and walk away with a 12A rating, but god-forbid you headbutt a real person!

Ah, so finally we find out the identity of the 'Mr. Nick' who placed the order,

Tbh I think Dredd could have scraped a 15 had it had a bigger studio behind it. There isn't anything particularly shocking in it, and a lot of the violence has a dreamlike quality that takes the edge off it. A lot of the reviews made much of the [spoiler]Mam-ma's exploding head scene[/spoiler], but in context it's weirdly beautiful and artful.

I think it was more the drugs and sexual content that pushed it into 18 territory.

Yeah, I found Ma-ma's death strangely very tame. When I heard a description of someone falling head first into the camera in previews, I was thinking from an outside wide camera shot and not directly into the lens. I was expecting a slo-mo event that showed someone's had slowly hitting the concrete and exploding brain matter and skull all over the place. No such luck there, which was disappointing. I did find some scenes a bit shocking, though. The three bodies impacting on the ground after being thrown off the block at the start, and the flashback of them being skinned was very graphic. Brief, but still shocking.

Give my regards to The Construction Worker and The Native American, Nick. Even more curious, Dredd's slow crawl around the world's cinemas seems to have taken it to Lagos - although Nigeria doesn't feature on IMDB's international release schedule for the film. I'm not sure we should expect any of these screenings to contribute to the film's profits:

That's why it's so much better. I'm glad it showed me something I didn't expect and not something you'd see in a torture-porn film. It sublimated something horrible into something rewatchable and thoughtful. Why would I really want to see someone get accordioned into the concrete?

[radiator]

Agree - I too read vague suggestions of someone hitting the concrete in slow motion, the camera not pulling away, and I must admit I thought "that sounds kind of disgusting, are they really going to show that?".

What we got in the film was spot on. Really well done I thought.

Just for the fact that it hadn't really been seen before. I was expecting this really shocking and gruesome scene by the way reviewers were describing it. I thought it was going to be one of the victims that got tossed off the tower at the start and that someone on the ground was doing slo-mo and they seen it from their perspective. Given that the teaser with the slo-mo bullet going through the face of someone was teased before reviews started hitting, I was expecting a level of violence I'd not seen before. Don't get me wrong, I thought the way it was done with Ma-Ma was excellent. That scene should have been shocking, but it was strangely very artistic. It was just the way reviewers painted it with words that gave me the false impression, and I was waiting for this gruesome event that never transpired. The thing is, the more controversy a film gathers with gruesome scenes, the more popular it becomes as people talk about it. Robocop had the ED-209 scene in the office where he blows someone away. People still talk about that today.
