I don't think they are. Back in the 80s/90s they used to show far more on screen than they do nowadays. Filmmakers would leave in a single scene which would give it an 18 scene cert for the integrity of the film.
Nowadays filmmakers will hint at what's happening or cut away at the vital moment so you know what happens but don't actually see it, getting a lower cert in the process... Larger audience means more coin potential.
Pisses me off that Robocop, a classic 18 cert, has been essentially dumbed down for kids. I bet they have a Toys R Us range of toys lined up too...
