My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I’m not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I’m there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, “The Big Boss (1971)”. In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That’s not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn’t believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn’t fall asleep. I never told my parents.

    Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, when I was like 8. Was all fun and games until they ripped that slaves heart out and dunked it into the lava, or something to that extent. It’s been a while since I last watched it, the details are a bit hazy.

      I can totally clear up those details for you, but the details are rather extreme, so you get to decide.

      Spoiler!

      They ripped the guys heart out, and slowly lowered the guy into the lava. During the descent you can see the heart beating faster and faster as the guy panics, then just as he gets to the lava they do a close up shot of the high priest holding the heart up as it bursts into flames. spoiler:::

        Thanks, I remember now. I’ve actually watched the movie when I was a fair bit older, but that must have been some 20 years ago now as well. Guess it’s really time for a rewatch!
