Video games.
Video games that have graphic violence include "Mortal Kombat" games, "Killer Instinct games", "Grand Theft Auto" games, and "The Manhunt" games.
Ratings of the media.
There are several cases where movies may have been rated NC-17 for explicit violence. Few, however, have really kept the NC-17 rating. Those that have include "Intent to Kill" (1992), "Man Bites Dog" (1992) and "100 Tears" (2007 horror movie). Other similar movies have gone unrated. These include "Hatchet" (a 2006 horror movie) and "The Antichrist" (a controversial 2009 movie).
Some video games were labeled 'AO' (Adults Only) by the Entertainment Software Rating Board because of graphic violence. Several reverted the rating to 'M' (Mature). AO means that nobody age 17 and under can play, buy or rent the games in question. An M means not suitable for under 17 audiences to buy, play or rent.
