I remember watching World War Z (2013) whilst aboard on a flight, the latter half of this scene was removed just because it involves Brad Pitt’s character detonating a grenade inside a plane because of zombies. I mean why is it that movies before being shown on planes have to cut out specific scenes despite it being a work of fiction?
Airlines need to suit all media to laws (of to-and-from countries) and comfort/appropriateness to both viewer and nearby passengers (who will inadvertently watch other screens).
A grenade going off in a plane could well distress viewer and/or other watchers with flying anxiety. That said, I have seen plane scenes on a Chinese airline which ought to have been avoided, so it seems to depend on the airline.
I watched an in flight movie, I forget what one, but it had a SciFi element like Dune maybe. One scene is fully nude female walking around. The person behind me could obviusly see the screen and called the stewardess over to complain. Stewardess glanced and moved on like she had bigger issues than having a discussion about in flight movies.
WTF is wrong with people, can’t they just fucking mind their own business, look elsewhere for a 30 second scene in an Hollywood movie. Everything available on the IFE is fair game.
