Did Death Wish and Rambo IV generate a lot of controversy?

Gerald 02-07-11 01:00 PM

Rambo IV was a sleeping pill, and Death Wish in his time a good movie both had opponents in various groups ranging from defense of legal rights and political moves of those who did not come home from Vietnam.

SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM
TRIUMPH OF THE WILL
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST

Like sailor steve, several films were controversail at the time and some of them still are. But then, there is also the personal taste or endurance. I do not like horror/gruge or what ever films. I know and saw a few scenes of canibal holocoust but I refuse to see it as other films of that kind. Salo, I saw once and possibly never again. I didn't went to see the brown bunny beacuse several indie films for me doesn't have any appeal.
Why the first movie is the last temptation? For me it isn't controversial. Where is the antichrist? Or the scenes there are not controversial now?

It is rare when these kinds of questions and lists of movies coming up, it made films that would be involved, to be reasonably complete.

Penguin 02-07-11 05:04 PM

Interesting list, especially in the relation of the time the movies were made.

I've seen:

THE WILD BUNCH
BASIC INSTINCT
THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE
DIRTY HARRY
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST
THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE
DEEP THROAT :smug:
FACES OF DEATH
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
KIDS
THE EXORCIST
LIFE OF BRIAN
BONNIE AND CLYDE
LAST TANGO IN PARIS
FREAKS
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
120 DAYS OF SODOM
TRIUMPH OF THE WILL

(Reservoir Dogs still lying around here since some time - I feel a little ashamed for not having it seen yet...)

And shame on you guys that nobody has seen "The Testament of Dr. Mabuse"! :nope:
A brilliant movie! Even if you don't put it into the context of the rise of fascism it is still a great story.

And not...SCARFACE...yet

not the original, "only" the version with Al Pacino (great film) - didn't know that this was a remake - but making one is ok after 50 years.

Quite right, :yep:

Sailor Steve 02-07-11 06:51 PM

I have to disagree. I thought the remake was awful. But of course that's just me.

Jimbuna 02-07-11 07:19 PM

Rambo IV showed more blood and guts than the majority of those on the original list IMHO :yep:

"Guts" everything is relative from the viewer's eye,:cool:

I think that The Last House on the Left still shocks and nauseates just as well as it did in 1972.

Well, I love the early 80s Florida scenario, but I was a big Miami Vice fan, that's why I'm quite prejudiced... But I'll watch the original, as I also was a fan of the Untouchables :cool:

Yes, that's why Bonnie and Clyde was so shocking at its' time, today it is maybe the Zeitgeist to make shootouts more realisticly.

Well, 120 Days of Sodom still shocked folks after 200 years ;)
