The British version of the hunger games will be edited by seven seconds to get a 12A Rating. The BBFC commented on the editing.
The company chose to make cuts in order to achieve a ’12A’ classification. A number of cuts were made in one scene to reduce an emphasis on blood and injury. These cuts, which were implemented by digitally removing sight of blood splashes and sight of blood on wounds and weapons, were made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy. An uncut ’15′ classification was available. These cuts were made in addition to reductions already made following an earlier ‘advice’ viewing of an incomplete version (see ‘Remarks’ below).
