X-MEN Question re DVD

[Chidori]

Hi, can anyone tell me why the 3 X men movies individually are rated 12 but the box set with all 3 in is rated 15 ?

Need to buy it as a present but worried the rating will be a bit high for the lad we need to get the Birthday pressie for.

Cheers, That is where I will be going tomorrow then !!! That is for all 3? 15 here http://www.dvd.co.uk/DVD/X-Men-Trilogy-Six-Discs-Collectors-Edition-Box-Set/3314501000/product.htm

When this happens, it's usually because one of the special features has got some swearing in it (e.g f**k on a commentary track will push a 12 up to a 15)

Searching for X-Men on the BBFC website shows the individual ratings for many of the features ...

According to that, "X-MEN 1.5 - PRODUCING THE X-MEN : BECOMING PART OF THE CREW FEATURETTE [DVD additional material] " is a 15 rating... my money's on Patrick Stewart pushing up the rating on that one!

IIRC, there were two releases of the first X-Men DVD, one with an extra disc with more interviews etc...

I'm guessing the set in morrisons just contains the films, whereas the one you've seen is the 6 disc set with extra features.

Thanks Bob that clears things up for me, confident it will be ok, Cheers.

I think some of Sabretooth's deleted scenes from 'X-Men 1' are '15' worthy.
