(Inappropriate) Movies you watched as a kid?

[AnthonyO'Brien]

In the early 80's when I was about 8-9 years old I watched movies like Dirty Harry and the Wicker Man on late night TV (My parents were kinda slack about this sorta thing) . I was pretty freaked out by Scorpio's murder spree and Edward Woodward being set up to be burned alive. On a cruise ship holiday my brother and I wandered into the movie theatre the ship had and watched Fort Apache : the Bronx. It featured Pam Grier as a psycho hooker who carved up her clients before being cut up herself...

What are some movies that destroyed YOUR childhood innocence?

"Porky's"

"Scanners"

and uh... scrambled fuzzy WHT late at night... (on my b/w television)

My parents ran a pretty tight ship when it came to watching things. But I watched all the Halloween movies and the first Alien way too young. Though they were the TV edits. Part of the reason I loved going to my grandma's house during the Halloween season.

Remember the additional scenes for TV? Yeah, was always freaked by the squishy sounds of the stabbings....

Night of the Living Dead. Saw it when Bob Wilkins first broadcast it back in 1972 when I was 4 years old and saw it every time he rebroadcast it after that.

[TriggerWarning]

Porkys and Stripes

Todays kids have no idea what it was like as a 12-13 yr old wanting to see boobs and having to set an alarm for the middle of the night and then quietly sneaking out to the TV, trying not to wake the parents, just to watch an R rated movie with a few topless shots on it.

My folks took me to "What's New Pussycat?" When I was a wee lad. I didn't understand the sex stuff, but thought the rest was pretty funny.

(thanks!) Yeah watched Porky's when I was 11 at my cousin's. Typical 1980's Aussie parents and aunts... too busy drinking to know what the kids were up to.

Also, didn't get to watch "those" movies until I was OVER 18 dammit, slobby sister and her husband left some lying around ....

Oh, yeah. Random UHF channels where you couldn't get audio and the video would flicker in and out.....but you saw things.

My mother never really restricted my viewing, so much so that I basically watched everything she watched (which was a wide range of things).

Except the boobies scene in Dracula, with Keanu Reeves. She made me cover my eyes* for some odd reason, and despite how many other on-screen boobies (and other parts) I had already witnessed.

*I still watched through my fingers.

I guess you can count some action or horror flicks in this category, when I was under 10, I saw movies like Robocop, The Thing, Class of 1999, The Fly, all featuring rather graphic violence. My mom and granny used to reassure me "eh, it's just tomato juice and plastic limbs, so it didn't gross me out too much.

It's funny how bloodless and sexless many action movies are these days.

I saw Robocop in theather with my father when i was 4 or something... lol i was totally freaked out at the end parts where the guy melted in acid... lol i was ok at murphie's horrible death though. lol Then i saw one of the jaws films at theather with both of my parents when i was 5 or something... And shortly afterwards my parents took me to sea for swimming..... i was crying the whole time. lol I still have hard time going to deep parts of the sea when i go to sea... jaws will get me... lol

I also watched Excalibur and Conan The Barbarian on tv when i was 7... lol but the sex scenes were cut off, so no problem i guess other then the extreme violance... This is probably why no pg 13 film satisfy me. I'm used to R Rated violance... lol I love R Rated films. Conan is my all times favorite film. Arnold rules Close seconds are Excalibur and Robocop. But i hate sharks... lol

Did mom cover your eyes in that scene where Mina and Lucy liplocked?

[cable guy]

I was really young when I watched Jaws.
