gazchap Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Have you ever been to an R18-rated cinema feature? You know those cards that get shown before each film, from the BBFC? That state that a film has been certified for cinema viewing? They normally have one signature on them when you go to see a film at the pics. There's so many signatures on the R18 films, you can't read the card properly. Link to post Share on other sites
