    Is it compulsory for the certificate to be displayed at the start of a film? I see many places not bothering with showing the card.

    It depends on the movie I think. When I worked in a cinema, there would be times where we'd screen some movies and documentaries that wouldn't have a certificate rating, so we'd just have to get customers to sign something just to say that they understood that the movie wasn't rated and there could potentially be some distressing content and whatnot.

    Everyone knows you don't focus up the image until the main event is on :p

    Seriously though, you could focus up the adverts/film cert and then find the main feature is out of focus.

    It's compulsory but I've seen some of the local places leave on the British cert on occasion.

    As far as I know you're only allowed legally show a film that hasn't been certified if it's as part of a private club - that's why the IFI give you day membership when you buy a ticket.

    Not sure what the deal with is on the display of the cert at the start of the film although I don't remember not seeing it at any screenings recently.

    Is it part of the film reels or is it on a separate reel to the actual film?

    It was not at the start of The Bourne Legacy when I saw it the other night.
