Sky just gave a blanket statement about the movies receiving this warning:

“Aladdin,” “Aliens,” “Balls of Fury,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Dumbo,” “Flash Gordon,” “Gone With the Wind,” “The Goonies,” “The Jazz Singer,” “Jungle Book,” “The Last Samurai,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Littlest Rebel,” “The Lone Ranger,” “Trading Places,” and “Tropic Thunder”.

Upon searching for these films on the Sky Cinema service, a description now includes the disclaimer: “This film has outdated attitudes, language and cultural depictions which may cause offence today.”

The specific joke with Hudson about Vasquez was an in joke since the actress actually thought the movie she was auditioning for was about illegal Aliens. So if this disclaimer is being put in front of Aliens because of that in particular, then the Sky people need to do their due diligence of research, imo

Wow that list is interesting... let’s hope they don’t discover the rest of cinema.
Thanks. I can only think of 4 things in that movie that could offend a group. And I think that you’d really have to be reaching in order to be offended
- illegal alien joke
-mistaken for a man joke
-Ripley’s ‘speciesist’ animosity towards androids ‘you didn’t tell me there would be an Android’
-breakfast joke about Arturian p.tang but that’s a fake race/species to my knowledge.

Let’s just put a disclaimer in front of all movies, music, books, etc. ‘you may or may not be offended by this particular work of art. If you are, change the channel, remove the disc, stop listening, close the book. Life is too short to waste your time complaining about X when you could have been enjoying Y’
