What was the first R Rated movie you saw?

[BillsPride12]

It was the Beverly Hills Cops movies for me and I have been coming across them a lot on Showtime lately which made me think of this.  Sure they feel a bit dated now but I still had to stop and watch and I still enjoy those movies.  I don't remember how old I was when I first watched them but I was pretty young.  At that time those movies felt so badass to me haha.  I hope BHC 4 is still in the works but I haven't heard anything on that in awhile

10 with Bo Derek and Dudley Moore or maybe it was Halloween. I don't remember which movie came out first.

I think it was Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder and Richard Prior.  I don’t recall the movie in detail but I think it would be a pretty tame R rating as compared to others.

The Exorcist

 

the book creeped me out even more than the movie. But very memorable on the big screen

Slapshot; my dad took me to see it when I was a young teen. After the nude scenes he said to me, “Don’t tell your mom”.

Conan the Barbarian (1982).

I actually think I saw a theatre X rated movie before a R rated one.  Some silly one on campus.

 

Conan the Barbarian was being shown at a theatre "near" UB's Amherst campus.

Walked there from campus having read some Conan comics when I went to college.

The movie got my adrenalin pumping and I ran back to campus.

 

I was disappointed when sequel came out for they tamed it down.

Have this awful memory of watching the movie Wired with my parents, I was 6.  There is a scene where "Belushi" is dead on a gurny in it.   Not sure what the hell my parents were thinking.

Halloween was 1978 and 10 was 1979.  I saw 10 but not when it came out and actually saw Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981) in rerun on campus.

Alien when I was nine.  When the alien came out of Kane's chest I had to walk out for a few minutes and play pinball.  🤣

I honestly don't know.

Too funny.  Same here (movie and age) except for leaving (the theater).  I closed my eyes.

i had a baby sitter let me watch poltergeist when i was little.  i have to imagine i was around 6.  it ***** my little world up.

Double feature of Slap Shot and The Sentinel when I was 12. Parents took me because Slap Shot was a hockey movie, and I was a hockey player. Pairing it with a horror movie was an odd choice. Made for an eye-opening evening.

Police Academy

 

edit: at least I THINK it was R rated

Poltergeist was PG. 

[Prospector]

My dad had me watch Terminator and Predator back to back before we went hunting. I was absolutely terrified the entire hunting trip. I spent most my time dipping and dodging as we hiked, so the predator could not get a clear ***** at my head. I was too young to hunt, so I was basically the backpack mule... but I have never focused on tree tops like that before or since.

Pretty sure it was Porky’s. I was 11-12. Definitely an eye opener.

no kidding!  is it still PG?  the porkchop scene and the tree coming to life was therapy territory for me.

First Blood!   My mom took my two older brothers and me.  I was 10 at the time.   She later said she didn't know it was R rated.
