New Zealand's RP16 rating is officially restricted by the OFLC. Those under 16 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 18 years and over. Material classified RP16 should not be viewed, sold or rented by unaccompanied people under 16. The RP16 rating is not applicable to video games.
Occasionally the Classification Office will assign an RP13 or RP16 classification to a film. This classification is different from R13 or R16, where it is an offence to supply the film or DVD to any person who is under the specified age.
Examples of RP16 classified titles[]
- 127 Hours ("Graphic content may disturb")
- Revolutionary Road ("Violence, offensive language & sex scenes")
- The Emperor & The Assassin ("Violence")
- Orphan and Kingdoms ("Violence, offensive language, nudity, drug use and suicide")
- Kingdom of Heaven ("Battle violence")
