A gruesome eye-gouging scene in Spectre helped make the latest instalment in the James Bond franchise the most complained about film of 2015, British film censors have said.
The BBFC report said, as with Spectre, censors had advised the film’s distributors on toning down scenes in order for it to get a 15, not 18 rating.
Austin admitted he was surprised that Spectre was the most complained about film and said the BBFC had worked with the film’s distributors on what would make it a 12A, rather than 15, film.
Other film ratings which people complained about included that for Minions, which received 16 complaints because of a scene set in a medieval-style torture dungeon.
