    Does anybody know if it carried the same warning in front of it that Michael Collins did (that it contained footage not typically in a film of that rating)?

    Micheal Collins wasn't as graphic as Shindler's List (I know I am spelling that wrong). Saving Private Ryan was given a 15's rating, yeah? which again may not be typical. Also Stephen Spilberg won't allow an edited version of Saving Private Ryan which lead to many ABC affilates in the US not showing it.

    What rating does Titanic have and what Rating did RTE give it?

    Titanic was rated 12 here and in the UK, PG-13 in the US
    Rating Reason: Rated PG-13 for disaster related peril and violence, nudity, sensuality and brief language.

    RTE rated it PS.

    Yeah, it was given a PG rating at the time when the content was more suited to a 15s.

    Veronica Guerin was rated 15 here and 18 in the UK. Same principle

    RTÉ do chop their movies. I watched T2 the other week and they left out the part where they flick Arnie from a mindless idiot to a mindless idiot who could learn (kinda). However they left in all the swearing, and all the other violent stuff

    It is rare when RTE do edit movies. I would say that might have been a mistake, was the news on during T2?

    Just as long as they are keeping in all of the swearing and violence, I am happy :)

    it's very possible the news was in the middle of it. It was the Thursday Night movie on Network 2, that's right, it's called Network 2, not RTÉ 2

    Jesus Christ man, that's because it's NOT IN THE THEATRICAL VERSION!

    It is "hear, hear", as in I agree with what I just heard.

    Yep and it took an awful lot longer than I remembered.

    Couldn't be as bad as the movie from 1980 - 'Raise the Titanic' ... the ship was still in once piece when they raised it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,732 ✭✭✭✭DMC


    Lew Grade, who made 'Raise the Titanic' did comment it would've been cheaper to lower the Atlantic :)

    Sorry, can I hijack this thread for just a second? I have a quick announcement:

    I mentioned the film to my little sister, who said unwaveringly that she "loved it" and that she cried so much it was "the saddest film ever".

    So, from now on, I have no sister.

    That's all. Carry on. :)

    Fine.

    I have no problem having only one brother.

    :D

    Cut for content or cut for time? Because my DVD copy of the pilot is longer than the original broadcast that I watched on CBC in Canada, which was simulcast with ABC in the US.
