"Movies or Scenes that could not get made today."

I am not talking about cops killed collaterally during a bank robbery. The Terminator walked into a police station and was gunning down mad cops. I think that's different.

Rocky comes off so unintentionally creepy. Also, it doesn't help that Adrien is so obviously put off at the start of that scene....to the point of being somewhat afraid.

I think that's the only scene where Stallone and Talia Shire could've done a different take with a better result.

With Connery--he was casually slapping women in half of them. No way they get made without some serious edits today.

That movie is still funny as hell to me but soooo much of it would not go over well today. Starting right off in the beginning when Slim Pickens utters the phrase "...like a bunch of Kansas City faggots".

The movie is a Mel Brooks classic but if it were released today shit would not go over well AT ALL.

just the underage rape and sex scenes are enough
but also the entire plot and premise of the movie
Girl spends the entire day tracking down dude who gave her the virus
nowadays all she has to do is check his social media
movie's over in 2 minutes

Should not have been made then - it's a despise-able film.

People REALLY took it the wrong way - including the film makers.

His filmography showed that he's made films recently. But his movies around the turn of the century were so intensely dark and edgy thematically, that I can't see that modern audiences or financiers would have an appetite for those older movies.
