Many pre-1990 movies could not be made today -- without major overhauls in scripts and characters.

Even some of those pre-1990 movies have been edited to reflect the more current PC culture.

E.T. is one prime example. The scene with government agents holding hand guns in the original movie have recently been replaced with agents holding walkie talkies -- to appease the anti-gun voices. [The original version was restored after viewer revolts against the PC version of the Blue Ray release.]

Bought a copy of “Cannonball Run” and found all of Jamie Farr’s Arabic scenes had be edited out.

They remade Red Dawn and threw in every race they could, instead of having a bunch of white rural kids in it. It was a terrible remake.

Yet liberals have always complained about those bad old days when...horror of horrors...there were movie censors and certain things could not be shown on screen. Now they're imposing their own censorship, and feel righteous and justified doing it.
