What movie did you watch as I kid which you shouldn't have?
My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I'm not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I'm there.
It was a Bruce Lee movie, "The Big Boss (1971)". In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That's not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.
I couldn't believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn't fall asleep. I never told my parents.
My parents were super strict. I was at a buddy's house when Terminator 2 first came to VHS and we watched it. I was probably around 11. Having not really seen anything like that, it definitely impacted me for a while. Then again, I was already having nightmares most nights by then anyway.
I was probably 11 or 12 when we got it on VHS.
My sister was 9 or 10. We were huge Swarzenegger fans and were used to him being the good guy. Twins and Kindergarten Cop were rewatched multiple times. T2 was our first R rated movie. We didn't watch Terminator prior, though my parents did as it had been on TV (broadcast tv, censored) and they were eager to see it too.
Anyway, after it finished, I chased my sister around the house pointing my finger at her which freaked her out and got me yelled at. Fun times
