Movies that made you walk out of the cinema

[Matua]

With your mum? Actually i think i watched it with my sis. That scene still haunts me.

Yes. Think about that, actually don't, you're correct haunting is an apt way to describe it. And girlfriend. I don't think we had sex that entire weekend back home from Uni.

Spanking the Monkey is another movie you don't want to watch with your Mum either.

I haven't walked out of a movie but many many years ago I was in town with my father and he decided he wanted to go to a movie, he wanted to go and see The Nude Bomb ( a Maxell Smart movie ) I balked as I didn't want to see it and said if he wanted to see it he should go and see it and would go and see Xanadu, he said no we are going to see a movie together and seeing we didn't want to see what the other one wanted he decided on a double at Barclay cinema, Slave of the Cannibal Gods and Eaten Alive, how we sat there and watched both is beyond me, needless to say I never went to the movies with my father again.

When I was 21 I watched Bad Boy Bubby with my Mum and my girlfriend ... it was very uncomfortable. It was recommended to my Mum by a friend of hers.

Not that I walked out, but I made the mistake of watching Monster's Ball with my family. That ball-slapping, sweaty sex scene between Halle Berry and Billy-Bob Thornton was decidedly uncomfortable for a 19-year-old Misanthrope.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Broken Arrow
Wayne’s World 2

And maintain they are the two worst movies I’ve seen apart from..

Running with Scissors. The only reason I stayed in the cinema for this was because of the girl I was with at the time.

Didn’t walk out but felt like it during the movie, Scott Pilgrim vs the world. I’ve seen this again since thinking maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for it but still don’t enjoy it at all. I really thought this movie would be up my alley, growing up in the 80’s, being into video games, loving Shaun of the dead and Hot fuzz, but I just don’t like it.

I acknowledge that Broken Arrow is not classed as a good movie, but I liked it as a guilty pleasure...lol

I have watched a couple of absolute crackers with blind dates when I was younger.

On one blind date (second meeting), we decided to go to the movies after dinner. Deadset, the only choice left that night was a gem called "Boogie Nights". We both had absolutely no idea what the movie was about (for those who don't know, it was set during the 70s porn industry). Once the last scene was shown....the convo was quite awkward, funny and....interesting.....lol. I did get action that night.

On another blind date with a different person (first movie), I was caught in a very similar situation where we had to choose a late movie from a limited selection. We chose "Head On " (a little known Australian movie with Alex Dimitriades playing a gay hustler type bloke) who had sex with other men in alleys. The movie was actually quite good, but not exactly a date movie....lol. I actually got action that night too....lol.

I took a date to see Guardians of the Galaxy. She hated it.

I didn't bother seeing her again. You don't need to love the movie, but hate? That's a pretty strong reaction to a generally inoffensive movie.

Did she like other comic book movies?

I know a girl that has no time for comic book movies and she's alright.

I have 2 walk outs, Armageddon and the second meet the parents movie, meet the fockers I think it was called.

Armageddon, I was a mid teen and I think I realised “hey, you know what, I don’t have to sit here and tolerate this crap, just leave dude”.

Meet the fockers was just crap, I may of lasted maybe 20 mins

From memory, she didn't like comic book movies (or action movies or fantasy or sci-fi) in general, although I only found this out after the movie.

I wasn't that keen to begin with, but those were some big final straws. I 'ain't hiding my geekery for the rest of my days.

I saw it at the cinema as a 15 year old I think, loved it lol

I came close to walking out on Anchorman 2, as it was so disappointing.

Armageddon? C’mon man, that was when Michael Bay was still entertaining.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

The closest I’ve been to walking out is The Blair Witch Project.

Dross.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Ferris Buellers Day Off

Only You

Biggest walkout I've seen was when Salo was shown in a theatre in the 1990's. No idea what they were expecting, I'd say 50% or more walked.

I didn't ....but many did when Bad Boy Bubby was shown in 94
Lol
The scene with mum had them up & out the door quicker than if a fire alarm had went off

I challenge you to get through 20 minutes of Little Fockers

The green hornet. It was a stinking hot day.

The only redeeming quality was the air conditioning. So I stayed.

 

[myrrh ken]

Came close when watching Eye of the Beholder. That film still annoys me 20 years on.

I have no memory of what that movie is about but I'm 100% sure I watched it because I loved Ashley Judd back in the day.

 

[nöyd]

not really classified as a walk-out, however I always try to ensure I have gone to the toilet before sitting down in my seat, so I don't have to miss any of the movie by having to go for a piss.

I was one of probably 7 people in Australia that went to the cinema to see Eddie Murphy's Metro, his usual paint-by-numbers police comedy/drama, when I felt the urge to have to go shake hands with the unemployed. So up I get, dash off to the shitter, came back into what I thought was the correct cinema...

yep, there's my seat...

ahhh that's better...

wait a sec, I didn't know Madonna was in this, that's weird...

wtf is she singing about...

hang on a sec...

They change the signs outside each cinema after the movie starts, so when I walked back in to the cinema marked as showing Metro, it was actually Evita. Thankfully nobody that knows me busted me coming out of a Madonna movie.
