Question & AnswerQ&A (MTRCB)
The "G" classification denotes films suitable for general patronage or family viewing, meaning all ages are admitted. These films contain no offensive material in theme, language, nudity, sex, or violence that would distress parents or minor children.
Films classified as "G" must not contain obscene language or cuss words.
"PG 7" films may have discreet indications or references of sensuality in the context of a normal and healthy family life.
Children between the ages of 7 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult when viewing "PG 7" classified films.
"PG 13" films may contain material inappropriate for children under 13, with intermittent cuss words (not sexual), some nudity germane to the story but not sexual, and mild violence. This rating is beyond "PG 7" but does not meet the restrictions of "R 18."
No, explicit sex scenes are not allowed in "R 18" films. Brief nudity and sensual scenes germane to the storyline may be permitted.
Films that are immoral, indecent, contrary to law or good customs, or pose a clear danger to public order are "X" rated. This includes films advocating subversion, glorifying criminals, encouraging drug use, or serving only violence or pornography.
Inexplicit drug use or content is allowed in "PG 13" films but must not be depicted favorably.
Violence in "G" films must be minimal and must not cause alarm or distress to children. No graphic content or depictions of drug use, suicide, or euthanasia are allowed.
Mild and frequent use of expletives may be allowed in "PG 7" films when used in context, but obscene language and cuss words are prohibited.
