The Age Rating for the Film Classic Back to the Future Has Been Adjusted from Six to Twelve Years and Older. Accordance to the Organization, The Film Contains “Intense Violence” And Uses “Various Swear Words.” The Change was made after a complaint from a viewer.
Previously, The Film was Considered Suitable for Ages Six and Up, With a Warning for Violent Scenes. Upon its release in 1985, The Film Inspection (film Review Board) Determined That The Film was Suitable for All Ages.
The Back to the Future Film Series by Director Robert Zemeckis Consists of Three Parts, Released in 1985, 1989, and 1990. The Successful Series Revolves Around Marty McFly, Played by Michael J. Fox, Who Travels Back In Time Machine. The Machine, Built Into A Delorean Car, is designed by Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown, Played by Christopher Lloyd. In The Past, he accidentally prevents his parents from meeting, which would mean would never be born.
In recent years, Older Films Are Increasingly Receiving New, Stricter Age Limits. For Example, The Dutch Family Film Pietje Bell from 2002 Originally had the Qualification ‘All Ages.’ The Kijkwijzer (Age Rating System) Adjusted This Three Years ago to Twelve Years and Older, Because, Accordination to Complainants, There Were Scenes In It That Could Make Children Anxious.
“Society and Knowledge About the Influence of Images on Children are Changing,” Said Tiffany van Stormbroek from Nicam at the Time. Nicam is the Organization That Kijkwijzer Falls Under. “Kijkwijzer Evolves with it.” But after complaints were also recurreated about the increase in the viewing age, the age limit was set at nine years and older.
