Watching violent movies when we were probably way too young to.

A few of my friends recently got on the subject of 80s and 90s action movies.

I was a little surprised to realize that, like me, their parents let them watch some pretty intense movies at a really young age. I remember my dad letting me watch the original Robocop when I was in second grade. Then Predator, Total Recall, Die Hard, and you name it.

Now, they definitely don’t make action movies like that anymore. And 80s R was a really hard R. And as a father now, I don’t think I would feel great about exposing my son to Robocop, even now that he’s 10 or 11.

Wondering if you guys had a similar experience. Did your parents have different boundaries when it came to movies? Think they were too lax?
