We see the car spin before it rolls and smashes down a hill. The injury detail mentioned in the ratings info, then called BBFC Insight, refers mostly to the car crash at the start of the film. There is no strong focus on the blood or injury detail although we do later see blood on her face. We see her fall before her body smashes through a glass awning and thumps to the ground. The strongest image of violence comes towards the end of the film when the villain Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) stabs and then kicks The Ancient One off a tall building. There is also brief bloody detail in a surgery scene. There are some stabbings but they lack blood and injury detail. For example, many of the skirmishes feature magical weapons, showers of sparks often veil the impact from punches and kicks and they are often rapidly edited creating fast-paced sequences that do not dwell on detail. Like many films within the MCU, Doctor Strange features a substantial amount of fight sequences however, the fantasy/sci-fi genre lends significant mitigation to these sequences and therefore lessens the effect of the violence. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood'. The BBFC Guidelines at 12A state 'there may be moderate violence but it should not dwell on detail. They cited 'sci-fi violence and action throughout and an intense crash sequence' as the issues underpinning the rating.įor the BBFC Doctor Strange sits very comfortably at 12A, for moderate fantasy violence and injury detail. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) had already passed the film PG-13 (a rating meaning people of any age can watch it but parents are warned it may be unsuitable for children under 13). The distributor submitted Doctor Strange to the BBFC without a category request. The film's release date in the UK was 25th October 2016.
