Glory! The civil war film! There's a scene where a union soldier takes a cannon ball to the head and it explodes in a gory mess. It was during a tour to Gettysburg, and I threw up on the bus after seeing it. Then they brilliantly played the Mel Gibson Patriot movie where a revolutionary also takes a cannon ball to the head, only this time it removes the head in slow motion and more detaches it than blows it to head smoothie
I remember watching the first one in school. That image of the cannon ball to the head was very shocking and it's practically all I remember about the film.
I was going to ask you what school you went to where they were allowed to show that, but then I remembered my private christian middle school took us all to see the Passion of the Christ at the movie theater for a fucking field trip 😂
It was a public middle school, would you believe! I remember we had to have a permission slip to watch the movie, at least. I had a great time at that school.
This reminds me of a time when I was on a bus in Honduras with the entire back third occupied by Nuns, the bus driver put on the action thriller Officer Downe where the scene kicks off with machine gun welding Nuns battling it out in extreme graphic action and gore.. Pretty crazy irony.
