I just bought the new Australian Blu-ray release of Hard Eight (so I could finally have it on Blu!).  As I mentioned, it's an Australian release, so I set up the profile as such.  The rating on the slip cover, case, and disc all say 14.  The only thing is, that's not an option for me to choose!

I submitted the profile without a rating, but any idea what a "correct" rating would be?

All Imprint releases to date in local retail stores have come with a ratings label stuck on the plastic shrink wrap.

I always add an explanation for the ratings and cover scans (typically, a slip cover) in any Imprint profile I submit, for example:

The "MA 15+" rating logo and description was applied to the slip cover's plastic shrink wrap like a sticker. Whilst it could be peeled off and applied to the front slip cover, the contribution rules state the scan should be an accurate facsimile of the original cover, so it was not included in the submitted scan.

The following retailer's web site shows the matching rating details as it appeared on the shrink wrap:

Hope that helps.

I can't find anywhere in the rules where it says this. If there are stickers, I don't think they should be included, but that's my personal opinion.

In some cases with Canadian releases of US movies I've seen the Canadian sticker affixed to the paper part of the cover.

One other thing about rating and locality is that sometimes covers for Canada (Quebec) releases will be printed (so no sticker involved) with Canada (not Quebec) ratings instead of the Quebec ratings.
