- Robocop 2. I watched this *really* young and was not prepared for certain stuff. A scene with a brain and eyeballs in a tank freaked me out so badly.
I have a funny story about that movie.
My family was out at a local restaurant, one which had big screen tvs tuned to the movie channel so you could watch while you dine. The place was packed with other families so we sat right in front of one. What should be playing but this movie, loudly too to be heard over the din.
My lil brother and sister were (and still are) a pair of squeamish pansies (to be fair, so am I). Up comes a scene where this guy is strapped to an operating table and they start getting nervous. I, thinking this was just any other blockbuster action movie, say it'll cut to something far away and at worst, it'll be censored.
It doesn't and it wasn't.
As the guy starts screaming bloody murder, one of the waiters had the presence of mind to fumble the remote and change it to something only slightly less disturbing, a Jonas Brother music video.
But the damage was done. All the kids were too shocked to cry and most of the adults looked like they were put off their appetite.
Still finished our meal though. I mean, hell we paid for it.
I should probably try watching that movie now. I mean, the trauma is long past. Sadly, doesn't seem to be playing on the movie channels much nowadays.
