It won't be released R18+ rated downunder. That would be commercial suicide. The 'R' rating talk about most movies, is in regards the US ratings, as that is where most are produced and financed. They operate on a different classification system. Their 'R' rating is the same guidelines as MA15+, except the age is 17 not 15 for accompaniment.

I love those comic image covers.

Thanks for letting me know about that Toasted Cheese. I assumed the ratings in the US were the same as ours and I didn't know MA was 17 for accompaniment and not 15. I don't know what rating it will get here but you can expect there to be blood, gore and even some nudity if it is a proper adaption and I am looking forward to finding out what actress they cast in the role this time and while it might not be a big detail to some people I hope she has red hair or dyes her hair red 'cause a 'Red Sonja' movie without an actress with red hair would look kinda silly and they don't have Superman with long blonde hair or Batman with curly red hair. I love the covers and artwork in the comics too and some of the monsters might be hard to pull off but I think they could do it.

I don't think they would have much issue with the CGI technology they have today pulling off the creative fantasy aspect and elements. Red Sonja appears to be a very empowering and no-nonsense female comic book creation and I'm certain they will do her justice. She is a warrior through and through and no different to say Conan, regardless of gender. If they don't give her red hair, no point in calling it Red Sonja, that would be an insult to the audience and Red Sonja herself. Perhaps Deb, you need to be the technical advisor on the film, to make sure they get it right.

Ratings are a flummox. Every different country has it's own classification system and it can become quite confusing and hypocritical. What one may be-able to see in OZ, could be restricted to a specific age and over, say in NZ. Many MA15+'s, may be R16 or even R18 in NZ and no-one under that age is permitted to see them in a cinema at all. They have R13 and R15 too. Some R18+'s in OZ have been R16 and R13 in NZ.

Suicide Squad in NZ, was automatically rated M by the film labeling body in NZ, due to it's classification here in OZ. Some group of parents complained about the content of it, and the OFLC in NZ then reviewed the film and they upped it to an R13, to keep younger kids from seeing it. Of course it is bulldust, because they would just end up seeing it on dvd or streamed at home, even if it does bear whatever age restriction. That is then up to the parents.

Here is an example of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) ratings\classifications. Not many films get the NC17 rating in the States, which they perhaps should, because many exhibitors refuse to screen them. They relate it to porn for some reason. A film in the States, can also be released "unrated", as the MPAA, or CARA the sub-body (Classification and Ratings Administration), is not a legally binding federal government body:
