The BBFC's website gives no reason, only giving info about the 15-cert for the cinema and claiming it was uncut (although, these days, we never know whether it's been pre-cut prior to submission)
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean. It's rated 15 for both cinema and video on the bbfc website. In fact, the video runs 40 seconds longer, but that may be due to credits.

Yep, it states 15 on BBFC's site, but on Amazon they have the Blu-ray and DVD listed as 18, which is confusing

Amazon have obviously made an error. If you order it from them, you'll see the rating is 15. I saw the DVD/Blu-Ray in Sainsburys the other day and it was rated 15.

Well I've got the DVD sitting in front of me, and my copy is rated 18!

I think the reason why they upped the rating was, because of the BBFC's hang up with younger people playing back certain scenes. This was a pretty strong 15 certificate, but then again, so was Schwarzenegger's Sabotage and that kept its 15 certificate for the DVD/Blu-ray.
