You know that was my first thought but then I sat down and thought about the fact that I watched a bunch of pretty crazy movies when I was a kid, it really doesn't bother me that much.

My first R rated movie was total recall when I was 10. My child brain has been searching for a three breasted woman ever since.

Haha, I looked at when the movie came out and I guess I was 10 years old as well, born in 80.

Definitely wasn't the first r-rated movie I ever watched, hell I had seen Alien as Aliens, RoboCop, The Thing, Predator and had a whole bunch of r-rated B horror movies, just a ton of the classics. Even shit like Bachelor Party, except I think my sister ratted on me telling my mom I was watching naked ladies on TV. I don't know what most of the James Bond movies were with Roger Moore for rated but I had seen everything up to Octopussy. Shit like Die Hard or Rambo wasn't off the table.

Remember going to see Predator 2 opening weekend and Alien 3 because I was so excited about it because of collecting all the comics and what have you.

I do remember when I saw a total recall for the first time. I was spending the night at a friend's house, and we rode our bikes up to the video store and some young teenager rented it to us. It was awesome. I think we also rented Mega Man 2.

Watching those types of films when you were a kid was a rite of passage, especially if you had to sneak it on TV late at night, or clandestinely go over to a friend's house.

Honestly don't think kids nowadays get that same Cinema experience as we used to when we were young, and that's why they like shitty movies.

Hell I remember sitting down at a barbecue my parents brought us to I was maybe probably around 10, and my stepdad and the gentleman hosting it we're sitting around watching The Good The bad and The ugly after dinner, and I sat and watched it with them. Was blown away, and occasionally when it would come on TV, I would always watch it.

I mean sure I remember watching T2 at a 10 year old. But the first half of this would be boring as fuck to a kid then the second half descends into ultra violence, exploding people and madness. Not only would I think they would be bored, by the time they are not its way more realistic then the shit we had as kids.

Its prob BS anyways, dude also posted watching One Battle After Another with I assume same child and while there is a good bunch of humor, they wouldn get it, and the social commentary would be meaningless.

I dunno, T2, Robocop, Aliens yea prob inappropriate for 10-11 year olds but we all watched em due to a cousin at Thanksgiving or Dad wanted to see it. You'd get some squibs, some humor you wouldnt get, probably words mom would be mad about but they were action. Even Good, Bad and Ugly was a Western (though a slower one fora kid).

This isnt those. And its filmed in VistaVision so the violence is, well alot, and it has a purpose but all kids will see is severed heads flying to other people.

I haven't seen this movie yet, I guess I was just commenting on the fact that I watched movies that were probably pretty crazy for the time period. I know since I've been an adult and I watch a lot of independent horror, there's some movies out there that make me squeamish now, and things are quite a bit different than what it was back in the 80s and 90s with a few exceptions.

I remember watching Videodrome as a kid and not understanding what the hell was going on but it was just completely crazy. Can you add movies like Hellraiser 1&2 which were both great but probably something I shouldn't have seen when I was young, but they're both great movies.
I did see Terminator 2 opening weekend that summer during a family reunion up in Wisconsin. My dad and a bunch of my uncles and cousins all went and saw it one afternoon, and yeah there's some violence but remember John Connor told Arnold not to kill anybody, and it's pretty tame compared to the first one. I wouldn't even put it in the same category as Aliens or RoboCop as far as profanity and violence of that's what's going to constitute a movie kids shouldn't watch.
