Good thing they made this movie before the PC nazis took over!

If they made it today, you wouldn't see a black guy left on a building like that.
That is no longer OK!
A white guy?
Sure, why not.

And then there is an underage girl (17) who is kissing a boy that is 18 or older.
No, they aren't having sex but maybe she will unlock her knees for him.
Still, would they allow an underage/old enough to be charged with statutory rape couple kissing in today's movies?

Damn, I'm good.

They would have had to take out the part where Chris says to the boys "If you give me any trouble, I swear to God I'll kill you. Dead, murdered, stabbed" and then Darryl says "Raped?"

Let's not forget the stream of protests that would occur after seeing that the car thief was black.

Oh man, you sure stuck it those "PC Nazis!" Why, it's just like a train to Auschwitz these days isn't it? White people are sooooo oppressed!

I look forward to your dissertation on race relations as they pertain to teen movies in the 1980's. Let me know when you finish! Include footnotes!

Brain dead Leftist gets ***Triggered*** What a surprise.

B-b-b-b-b-but the PC Nazis! Marching in lock-step to take you to the camps!

OK, so you don't know what "triggered" means. You're the only crying like a bitch about a teen 80's movie.

Sorry I'm too smart for you to understand and you have to resort to saying things that make no sense.

The movie already had so called "political correctness" at it's heart, as pretty much everything does.

I mean sure they show a black guy as a car thief but they then undo that by making out he really had a heart of gold. He was just a poor black guy doing what he had to do to survive in the oppressive world of the White male patriarchy. (As represented by his evil White boss.)

This is the way black characters who do bad things are pretty much always portrayed by Hollywood.

Wasn't one of his evil bosses black?

Sure, why not.

Just think of it as reparations for all the times black characters got the short end of the stick in movies or were entirely absent. Why complain? It's not like white people are going to end up losing the right to vote or be enslaved just because for once, a white guy died first instead of the one black guy.

One of the "heroes" says that a character is a homo. And so innocently. That couldn't happen today.

I'm watching this movie now on Laff TV. They cut that word out completely. So the kid is saying "Thor is a" and you can see him mouthing the word "homo" but they cut the word out completely. Give me a freaking break!

I saw them cut out "retard" when David Spade is on the plane in 'Tommy Boy'. They bleep that stuff out BEFORE curses? Geez.
