This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I didn't watch Robocop when it was new, but we rented Robocop 2. My mother made me leave during the disembowling scene, and I had this inflated idea of how bad it was. It really wasn't. What they did to Murphy in the beginning of the first one was far worse.
Then there's the third one where a little girl with a laptop hacks a robot between its legs where it can't get her and Robocop himself flies. Yeah, that shit was dumb.
There was a SA scene that really got to me and I forgot what it was. Found it years later so I could never watch that film again. Showgirls. I remember it being much worse, but it was still pretty bad. Also not the worst SA scene I've seen. All I'm gonna say is, "Jena Malone's first movie." IMDb will be very helpful in advising you which film to never watch (assuming you could ever find it, and unedited, at that โ I mean Lifetime airs it from time to time but they gotta cut all the bad shit out). Easily the most disturbing film I've ever seen, just because that kind of shit happens. Oh, and if you look up the author, she just threw North (or South) Carolina under the bus because South = Incest Country. She's from fucking California. So yeah, that shit does happen everywhere, and for the most part, nothing's done about it. Huge TW on that whole thing. Yeah, staying up late watching Showtime was not a good thing.
A bit later, but the American The Ring (remake of Ringu). Was it better? Eh... It had its moments. The creature design on the teen girl being scared to death was too good, though. That shit haunted me for a while. So I set it as my wallpaper on my laptop to desensitise myself. People routinely asked me what the fuck my problem was when they saw it. Still creepy AF. If you haven't seen it... they made her look "scared to death and simutaneously having had instantly having been soaked in filthy water for a week. So her face was pale, water-logged, green-ish, and her jaw was unnaturally stretched open. And her eyes were blackened. Almost like what the Scream mask was, but applied to a real face. (And yes I know Scream came first. It might have inspired that makeup design. Also, that makeup/costume designer should have won some award. Say what you will about the rest of the movie, save for Daveigh Chase, who was awesome, but don't knock the makeup job.)
