    True lies I remember being on a webite a few years back complaing how Jamie Lee Curtis character could be considered as problematic by todays standards I got a good laugh from it, plus its portrayal of muslim terrorist and not forgetting some of Tom Arnold and Bill Paxtons dialogue "Ass like a ten year old boy" :D "Women cant live with them cant kill them" .

    :pac:

    Footloose. The heroine seems to spend most of the film getting punched and slapped in the face by male characters :eek:

    There was a remake in 2011. Not as good as the original but great chewing gum for the eyes type of movie.

    Passengers https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1355644/
    Sci-Fi or a Stockholm Syndrome fantasy ?

    A little bit of editing and this could be a very dark film.

    Whatever about Blazing Saddles not getting made today nobody would ever think to write it in the first place; it's a product both of its time and of the creative minds behind it. Ditto most of the films mentioned. Things move on.

    Yeah absolutely. It was released in the eaely-mid 70s. In the shadow of the civil rights movement. It was perfectly relevant to the time and it was an incredibly PC anti-racism movie. It wouldn't have the same relevance today, not to mention re style of comedy being nearly 50 years out of date.

    Can’t remember now. It was probably PG or 12. So I suppose they probably didn’t have domestic violence.

    Demolition Man is not funny anymore. Nearly everything in the movie is now in reality. (Except John Sparton)

    People at the time said the same. It's a satire of what was seen as the overly "PC" culture of the 90s.

    It's strange the outrage brigade have given porn a pass. Females sometimes refer to their co stars using the n word. And I don't mean naggers.

    Lots of people do complain about things like this.

    How come they don't get blasted for this?
