First R18 movie?

[Jamash]

Robocop, but I was 10. Not a good film for a 10 year old.

You're not wrong there. I also saw Robocop when I was about 10, and it left some strong images in my mind.

Apart from the scene where Emile drives the van into that vat of toxic waste and starts melting (which is pretty much a given for a 10 year old), the parts that had that left the biggest impressions on me were when Murphy gets tortured and shot at the beginning of the film, and when Clarence shoots that guy in the legs and leaves him with a live grenade.

I'd never really seen sadism like that before, and it opened my eyes to just how cruel people could be (even though it was fantasy).

I think the first 18 film I ever saw was one of Hammer's Dracula films which was shown on TV when I was very young, and that gave me a nightmare. It was my first real experience of evil and malevolence, a bogeyman figure if you like.

The Blues Brothers had an AO (Adults Only) rating when I was a kid. My dad first showed it to me when I was 8.
The first R18+ movie I saw after turning 18... I don't remember. Maybe I watched my Pulp Fiction or Reservior Dogs DVD?

The Thing, when I was 8, Man did I freak out.

 

[TimeLord]

Event Horizon can scare the shit out of an 11 year old

Hmm, It's hard to say since in australia most american "R" rated movies are MA 15+, I think it was "shoot em up", I saw it on a plane as they had no child blocking systems

Unfortunately, I still can't buy R rated movies and that special 15th anniversary edition of Pulp Fiction taunts me every time I go into JBHIFI

Hellraiser, when I was 4. My mom never let that uncle babysit me again.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Earliest I can remember...
Alien 3 when I was 5.
Yeah, I don't know why, and it scared the shit out of me.
But now horror movies, gore, terror, and all that stuff, seems to have no effect on me.
So I see it as a good thing.

Total Recall when I was 12. The part when Arnie & The Baddie when they where stuck on the surface was messed up.

On the Bright Side we got three free boobs.

Hellraiser, when I was 4. My mom never let that uncle babysit me again.

[Vek]

Jurassic PArk, in theaters. I was 8.

 

[Jharry5]

The first one I can remember watching would've been Robocop; the opening scene traumatised me for years... I was about ten years old.
The first I enjoyed was Terminator, when I was about eleven.

The first 18 rated film I bought when I turned 18 was Scarface.

 

[GreyWolf257]

The first R movie I saw was probably Terminator. I can't quite remember though.

 

[ribonuge]

Not sure, probably Die Hard when I was about eight or nine.

 

[j0z]

Think it was terminator, when I was <3 years old
I loved it.

 

[ShawnRiles]

I think it was the Matrix. Shit was so cash.

 

[AntiAntagonist]

Aliens... I think I was 6

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Broken Arrow... I think I was 8
