@Final-Fan: M and AO would work better if M would be for example 18 and AO 20. Problem is the one year difference, which basically is nothing.

I said similar, not same people. I am planning to watch the latest Die Hard when i have the time and can rent it, but i have no interest in the Saw.
Ok, think that there's a certain limit of violence per one ladder (in this case rating) and will both movies have enough violence to reach the last ladder? Basically examples were bad, because Die Hard is a sequel to popular trilogy (well the last one) and it has popular actor, which a lot of people like, and Saw is completely new franchise, without Bruce Willis or equivalent. Still, if both were in the starting situation, group of people interested in those two movies would be very similar, but neither group wouldn't necessarily have any person from the other group.


Actually, Saw and Die Hard are aimed at very different audiences.  One is action/drama, the other is sadism/horror/gore.

And I actually specifically excluded the fourth Die Hard movie from the comparison, partly because they edited out just enough violence to get it down to PG-13.  I compared the FIRST  THREE Die Hard movies, rated R, to the FIRST THREE Saw movies, also rated R.  And, again, the first Die Hard and the first Saw appealed to very different audiences.  

They are very different movies, with different audiences, and should have received different ratings.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
