Walk Outs - Blu-ray Forum

Buddy Christ · 08-08-2009, 06:20 AM

Please when taking Poll just answer to Movies that you thought about walking out on.

I know that I am one of few that actually walk out of movies OTHER than for a technical reason. Just because it was BAD!!!

Have you?

Because the movie in your opinion was not going to get better?

I did on a few occasions Rush Hour Three being one of about five.

And you? Did you give up and say "I'm Out"

Please do not mention technical difficulties, health reasons, Air conditioning, emergency. Just because you could not take the pain.

Feel free to add in the amount of time it took to bail.

I walked out of Miami Vice because I did not like it but when it came out to DVD I gave it another chance and I liked it

Batman1980 · 08-08-2009, 06:24 AM

Once. It was toward the end of Starsky and Hutch and I just couldn't take it anymore so I got up and left. Doubt I'll ever find out how it ends.

I've never walked out on a movie but I catch some Zzz's during that first Narnia movie. Not trying to knock the movie but it was after a long day at work and I was dead tired.

TheForce8686 · 08-08-2009, 07:28 AM

Ive never walked out. If I paid the money the least I could do is see the end.

X400 · 08-08-2009, 07:50 AM

Ravenous (this was the one with Guy Pearce/Robert Carlyle cannibalism)... there was another but i cant remember it. I don't know how Ravenous has a 6.9 on imdb god it was awful (but i watched it when i was 17)

but i usually stick it out regardless when im with my cousin anyway... think ive only walked out of movies if im with the boys

langn08 · 08-08-2009, 08:10 AM

Watched this on blu-ray last year. Almost walked out of my apt.

kolibri · 08-08-2009, 09:00 AM

I have never walked out of a film, but I have come very close on at least two occasions; Vampires and Reign of Fire.

koontz1973 · 08-08-2009, 09:56 AM

Never walked out of a film. I have seen people walk out of Henry, Portrait of a serial killer, Schindler's list and Passion of the Christ. Never found a film so, so bad as to even think about it.

MOONPHASE · 08-08-2009, 10:07 AM

When Dumb and Dumber was playing at the theatres my dad took me and my brother to go see it right after we got out of school and my dad forced us to walk out of it. But interestingly enough when we went to see Borat and also Norbit those could of been walk-outs as well because we both agreed that it wasn't worth it but oh well for $1 a ticket can't complain to much but never going to see those 2 movies again.

Belloche · 08-08-2009, 10:13 AM

I walked out of Scary Movie ,but they were free tickets so I was only robbed of my time.

upswiseass · 08-08-2009, 10:20 AM

I have never walked out of a movie, but Battlefield Earth was as close as I have ever come to doing so. I stayed out of sheer disbelief at how terrible it was.

Kryptonic · 08-08-2009, 10:33 AM

It's rare, but it happens. The last time I walked out was Transporter 3. I made it about an hour before I couldn't take it anymore. How do you screw up a Transporter movie that badly? I was shocked.

Psychonaut · 08-08-2009, 10:36 AM

Never. I don't go that often but even if the movie does suck, I try to hope that it will get better.

Steve · 08-08-2009, 10:49 AM

I've walked out of one movie in my entire life. It was the 1998 remake of Psycho starring Anne Heche.
