Adult
(

Restricted to persons 18 years of age and over.
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to attend under any circumstances. These motion pictures are “adult motion
pictures”, as defined in the
Act, and may contain explicit sexual scenes or scenes of brutality or torture to persons or animals, or any combination of
them, that are portrayed in a
realistic and explicit manner; however, the scenes would, in the director’s opinion, be tolerable to the community.
