For reference, the Die Hard series upon cinematic release received the following ratings in the US and UK:

DH - US R, UK 18
DH2 - US R, UK18
DH3 - US R, UK15 (but had scenes cut from the US version to meet this)
DH4 - US PG-13, UK15

In the US, R-rated films allow children under 17 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the film.
The US's NC-17 rating is the US rating that most closely mimics the 18 rating in the UK. (no admittance, similar to the 18 rating)

So while kids in the UK can be smoking at 17 compared to the US's kids having to wait till they're 18...US kids can freely watch John McClane killing Professor Snape over and over again.
