1. “Noel Clarke’s 2008 sequel to Menhaj Huda’s
Kidulthood takes up the story of Sam on his release
from prison after serving a six year sentence. Sam is
faced with trying to put right some of the damage he
has done by his killing of Trife, and with dealing with
the people seeking revenge for Trife’s death.”

2. Violence
In terms of violence, while several of the film‟s characters go 'tooled up', the
film takes a clear moral stance, condemning the casual use of weapons by
the fates suffered by those who resort to their use. There is little in the way
of injury detail, attacks giving the impression of violence and pain without
showing the immediate results. BBFC Guidelines at 15 allow for strong
violence provided that it does not 'dwell on the infliction of pain or injury'
Language
The street slang spoken by many of the characters places the film at 15,
where strong language is permitted. There is continual use of the f-word in
dialogue and also in the lyrics of rap music. More problematic, and
potentially a barrier to the 15, is the use of the c-word, which research
suggests is likely to offend both men and women. Any use of this word in a
film that is otherwise likely to be classified at 15 needs careful consideration
of the context in which it appears. Near the start of the film, a cab driver
sitting in his car glances at a group of noisy young people outside a club
and mutters to himself , “Fucking c***s”. The remark is not addressed to
anyone, it is merely his comment on what he sees. It was felt that this was
not sufficient reason to push the film to an 18.

3. Sex Scenes
The sex and sex references were containable at '15'. The sex scenes in the
film comprise images of thrusting and some writhing about, but nothing in
the way of detail, with nudity being restricted to a minimum –less strong in
fact than the sex scenes in Kidulthood. BBFC Guidelines for sex allow
„strong verbal references to sexual behaviour‟
The film was classified 15 with Consumer Advice that warns of „very strong
language, strong violence, sex references and drug use'.
 The film „Adulthood‟ did not have any cuts in order to meet its age
classification.
 The director was Noel Clarke
 The film is not historical and there is no issues that still remain today.
 The only issues of concern about the film is that people did expect it to
be higher than a 15.
 The film was used as a case study because people expected it to be
higher than a 15 but as BBFC shows the content of the film shows
nothing that needs to be higher than a 15.
