Legality check ( age Movies/games )

[Maraxus]

Is it a actual LAW that prevents minors from seeing rated R movies without an adult?
I was in the understanding that it was just a recomendation?

Same with rated M / T ect on video games?

I won't buy beer for you either

They carded you trying to buy State of Emergency, didn't they? (It says Check ID right on the box)

Rated R = under 17 not admitted without an adult.

Meaning if you're 17, you can buy a ticket and see the movie yourself. An adult can buy you a ticket to 'admit' you.

No i want evidence so i can write to the guy who wrote that bit about GTA / Take 2 interactive ect.

And i was always under the impresion that Movie theaters checked id /ect by policy not by law. But because its an industry standard ( ie: they wont give movies to theaters that dont do so)

yes but is it a LAW or just a industry standard?

The movie ratings set by the MPAA are just industry standards that the theater corporations follow.

Ah see i thought so, there is no law that prevents this. But im sure MPAA wont sell movies to any theater companys that dont follow.

 

[WarMachine]

They must have some means of fist fucking theater chains into following their 'suggestions'. I'm not sure though.
