Critical Investigation Task #1

In one scene from Fast and Furious 6, a military tank drives over several cars during a chase scene, most likely killing anyone inside; although violent there is no blood and no injured occupants seen in these smashed vehicles, however the audience can see that the people/person in the car were killed. 

In The Fast and The Furious, the first film of the successful franchise, there is a very similar scene where a car tries to squeeze under the truck and in-between its wheels; the car is bounced back and forth, then it goes under one wheel and is trapped by the tires; eventually the trucks wheels roll over the car killing the driver inside. 

These two scenes were both noted in the certification of the movie, but the film ratings that were given were both different, The Fast and The Furious received an age certification of 15, whereas Fast and Furious 6 received an age certification of 12A. This shows that over time certification has changed as younger audiences are being exposed more and more to violence and profanity.
