I don't remember the violence in the matrix being that excessive. In my memory it was a perfectly pg 13 movie. I might just watch it again cuz I'm pretty amazed it was rated R.
 
Matrix was the epitome of gratuitous violence in the early 2000s. It was the scapegoat for mass shootings as well.

And to the kid who was traumatized from watching batman.. that's definitely not the person to take to view any movie besides an animated movie.

I was legit exposed to R rated films at age 5. I remember because that was when I moved to New Zealand. Can' remember what movie but those breasts will forever be ingrained in me
 
Took my girl
And 8 and 9 year old
Kids liked it
I thought it was just ok
Would not watch again
Even if on TNT or tbs
Had legit funny parts

You can't compare 2016 rated r to 1998 rated r.

2016 rated r to kids nowadays is as bad as it was in 1998.

The radio is much worse now with words that would never be used back in 1998.

Video games are awful (worst thing we had was resident evil).

Everything on every single aspect is much worse.

So, rated R to kids nowadays is as bad as it was for us in 1998...

Hell, I bet even our parents and their parents were saying the same thing about our rated R movies growing up.

Quinn was getting very graphic head in Blade's opening scene. Not to mention Traci Lords grabbing the guy's penis, or the wet t-shirt blood bath and violence.

Do we know the Gambit villain?
And who do y'all want to be the villain in the next Deadpool?

Mr Sinister for Gambit Villain I think was confirmed. Makes sense since Mr Sinister is the one who surpressed Gambit power before joining the X-Men.

As far as Deadpool, I'd say maybe Taskmaster
 
Blade was rated R?


Lmao damn. In my head that was a rated pg 13 movie too.

I got to say then, rated R movies back then were super soft

Seems like today's movies are hard R's. Any harder they'd be NC 17

Maybe ten years from now rated R movies will have visible penetration and money shots lmao

Wow. Never heard the Sinister rumor.
 
For some reason, I feel having Taskmaster as the next Deadpool villain would be hilarious. Like that would set up tons of easy jokes, during fighting and everything

My parents were the immigrants too and I agree that they were less sensitive to that kind of stuff, so those R-rated action movies were the norm in my house growing up. Hell, Cobra was probably my GOAT movie at 5 years old :lol:

What's weird though is that the only movie my pops didn't want me to watch as a kid was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Now that I think about it, I'm sure it was probably based off a neighbors suggestion or something because there's no way my pop's would have known or watched that movie :lol:

Lol bruh I remember we rented Robocop and watched it all together as a family as a kid LOL

Hell I remember spending the night at my cousins crib and asked if we could watch Comicview and my uncle was like "lol hell you doing watching that kind of stuff".
 
As a kid I watched under siege so many times for that topless scene. Those boobs were nice and worth it.
 
Man majority of us have watched R rated movies between ages 10-14 (younger questionable) but were curious around that age about the especailly the opposite sex. I think I was 11 when my older cousin showed me the Sable playboy. Hell the whole attitude era of WWE wasnt even really for kids. We played violent games on playstation or nintendo 64 I.E Duke Nuk'em and othe cout less games. I watched total recall blood sport on repeat at home. I think it all comes down to parenting, anytime there was a sex scene my mom would cover my eyes. She did a great job raising me, I didn't come out damaged or scarred for life. If the kid wants to see it theyLL find a way to see it especially now since you don't have record anything from cable to VHS. Lol

Dear god, I remember the Sable playboy pictures. I was young. Don't remember how young. I had the magazine. I'm not sure how I got it lmao

I completely forgot about this until you mentioned it.

I disagree.

Think about Schwarzenegger movies, Die Hard movies, Steven Segal poking Tommy Lee Jones eye out in Under Seige. Roboco, bruh? Shooting dudes limbs off while he was still alive...dudes falling in toxic waste and exploding when they got hit by a car??

Movies have tamed a bit. Yes, they show servered limbs, but its not as graphic as it could be.
 
I just remembered that this film was also banned in China, just imagine if it has Chinas box office too, the worldwide numbers would be bigger.

But here's the records Deadpool has set so far via: http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottme...ecords-it-broke-and-didnt-break/#77a634fc7fbd


Biggest R-rated opening weekend: With $132.7 million over its Friday-to-Sunday frame, Deadpool crushed the prior R-rated opening weekend record, set in 2003 by Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc.’s The Matrix Reloaded. Said (underrated) Keanu Reeves sequel opened with $91m over its Fri-Sun frame, which translates into around $132m today adjusted for inflation, However, for what it’s worth, it made its $91 million Fri-Sun opening after snagging $42 million from a Thursday opening day.

Biggest Friday-Sunday opening weekend from a long weekend: In short, Deadpool‘s $132.7 million Fri-Sun total is the largest ever for film that had an extra day or two before or after said Fri-Sun frame. It bested Walt Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which earned $114 million over the course of a $156m Fri-Mon Memorial Day weekend in 2007.

Biggest 20th Century Fox debut ever: It bested the $108 million Fri-Sun debut of Fox’s Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith back in 2005. However, like The Matrix Reloaded, it earned said Fri-Sun numbers after snagging a then-record $50 million Thursday opening day.

Biggest R-rated Friday, Saturday, Sunday: The film earned $47.5 million on Friday (21st biggest Friday ever), $42.6 million on Saturday (20th biggest Saturday ever), and a whopping $42.6 million on Sunday (the 8th biggest Sunday gross ever). Here’s a stunning stat: If you don’t include that $12.7 million Thursday gross in the Friday total, Deadpool made more on Saturday and Sunday than it did on Friday.

Biggest February opening weekend: It far surpassed the $85 million Fri-Sun/$93 million Fri-Mon debut for Universal/Comcast Corp.’s Fifty Shades of Grey to snag the biggest February opening weekend. It’s also bigger than the $107 million Fri-Mon debut of American Sniper in January 2015.

Biggest opening weekend for Ryan Reynolds: No duh, but it’s also the biggest opening weekend for pretty much everyone involved in the project.

Biggest R-rated comic book superhero movie ever: In just four days of release, Deadpool outgrossed Wanted ($134 million back in 2008) to be the biggest comic book superhero movie of all time. If you don’t want to count the “no costumes” release under this category, fine. It already clobbered the $107 million domestic total (and $185 million worldwide total, natch) of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. It even topped the adjusted-for-inflation $133 million total of New Line Cinema’s first Blade movie.

Biggest X-Men debut ever: It demolished the $102 million Fri-Sun and $122 million Fri-Mon Memorial Day 2006 debut weekend for X-Men: The Last Stand. Heck, it outgrossed the (3D) domestic total of The Wolverine ($132 million) and the (2D) cume of X-Men: First Class ($146 million) in the first four days and will likely top the original X-Men ($157 million) today. Topping X-Men Origins: Wolverine ($179 million) will probably happen on Thursday or Friday at the latest.

2nd Biggest R-rated Monday: At this juncture, it is estimated to earn around $17.2 million for Monday, which would a bit under the $17.4 million Monday for The Hangover part II back in 2011. So much for a clean sweep, although I will hastily update if the Monday number comes in bigger.

2nd Biggest R-rated comic book movie: I will go into this below, but it’s going to be soaring up the R-rated grossers charts over the next week. But for now, it’s already the second-biggest R-rated comic book movie of all time, zooming past the likes of The Road to Perdition ($102 million), Kingsman: The Secret Service ($128 million), and Wanted ($134 million). Only Zack Snyder’s 300, with its $210 million gross from back in 2007, stands in its way. And the Merc with the Mouth will pass that one probably on Friday or Saturday.

2nd (or 3rd?) Biggest non-sequel opening weekend: If you want to count The Avengers as a non-sequel (that’s a coin toss), it’s the third biggest non-sequel debut of all time behind that one ($207 million) and Lions Gate Entertainment’s The Hunger Games ($152 million). Either way, it topped the $128 million opening weekend (yes, I included the Thursday figures) of Man of Steel, the $116 million debut of Alice in Wonderland, and the $114 million debut of Sony’s Spider-Man.

7th Biggest comic book superhero opening weekend: Bigger than Green Lantern, bigger than Steel, bigger than Elektra! Among comic book superhero movies, its Fri-Sun debut lags behind only The Avengers ($207 million), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191 million), Iron Man 3 ($174 million), The Dark Knight Rises ($160 million), The Dark Knight ($158 million), and Spider-Man 3 ($151 million).

We’ll see if any of this year’s comic book spectaculars can top it, but I wouldn’t bet on anything outside of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. And Dawn of Justice is the only one of the seven remaining 2016 comic book movies that arguably “has to” reach such heights to avoid presumptions of peril.

8th Biggest long holiday opening weekend: In terms of all “long weekend openings,” be they four days or six days, it’s only behind the $200 million Wed-Sun debut of Paramount/Viacom Inc.’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the $180 million six-day Independence Day weekend openings for Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Spider-Man 2 (the latter in 2D way back in 2004), the $158 million Thurs-Sun opening of Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith, the $156 million Fri-Mon Memorial debut of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, $156 million Tuesday-to-Sunday Independence Day weekend debut of the original Transformers, and the 5-day $151.9 million Memorial Day debut of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I may have missed one, but I don’t think I did. Of course if it ends up over $152 million for four days, I will change this entry to “6th Biggest long holiday opening weekend.”

8th Biggest non-summer opening weekend: Of the seven bigger such debuts, three are Twilight Saga sequels, two are Hunger Games movies, and the other two are Furious 7 and (obviously) Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It may end the year in 11th place on this list, thanks to presumably Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, possibly Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and potentially Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

17th Biggest opening weekend of all time: This one pretty much speaks for itself. It sits behind Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest ($135 million), Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn I ($138 million), Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn II ($141 million), Twilight Saga: New Moon ($142 million), Furious 7 ($147 million), Spider-Man 3 ($151 million), The Hunger Games ($152 million), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($158 million), The Dark Knight ($158 million), The Dark Knight Rises ($160 million), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II ($169 million), Iron Man 3 ($174 million), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191 million), The Avengers ($207 million), Jurassic World ($208 million), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($248 million).

And yes, I just did that from memory! If you adjust for inflation, it’s still the 28th biggest opening weekend of all time.

18th Biggest 4-day gross: Again, if the Monday final figures are wildly different I will update accordingly. But with $150 million in four days, it sits between Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn I ($147 million) and Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn II ($151 million) among the biggest four-day totals.

37th Biggest comic book superhero movie of all time: In just four days, its estimated $150 million gross already makes it the 37th-biggest comic book superhero movie of all time, between X-Men: First Class ($146 million) and Fantastic Four ($154 million). It will be shooting up said chart every day for the next week or so, which will give me plenty of fodder for daily updates.

40th Biggest R-rated grosser ever: With an estimated $150 million in four days, it is already the 40th-biggest R-rated movie of all time. And unless it crashes and burns, it’s going to soar up the list in record speed over the next few days. There are thirteen R-rated movies that made between $150 million and $160 million, so it should be nearing or cracking the top-25 just by today. If it does another $10 million (spit-balling here) over each of the next three weekdays, it’ll end its first week with around $180 million and enter its second weekend as the 15th biggest R-rated movie ever.

296th Biggest grossing movie ever: Okay, this is me ending this list by being a bit of a schmuck. But yes, there are just under 300 movies that have topped $150 million domestic since the beginning of recorded time, not accounting for inflation of course. But like some of the other lists we’ve discussed, it will be skyrocketing up said all-time grossers list over the next week. It could crack the top-200 on Friday and could end its second weekend in the top 100 (or not, if it plays like a conventional X-Men movie).
