The 18 after the title was the film's rating in the UK. This is a UK poster for the film.

What is with the small '18' beside 'FARGO'? Is this possibly an age rating or part of a working title?

It is clever. The quote from Rolling Stone has different letters in different sizes. The one in RED reads: wife. The one in black reads: GREED and the smaller sized letters unscramble to spell out: ransom
Not too bad considering they had to place Peter Travers' words on there somehow.

This much larger fold-out poster isn't as hilariously clever as its predecessor, but it fits the film and looks quite nice. B
