Justin in the cowboy holster...

Just caught this again on tv after many years and it's still just as good as always, but I noticed something I may have missed before. In the beginning there's the scene when Gil puts Kevin to bed and turns to find his son Justin standing there in just a holster belt and cowboy hat. He says something to the effect of "Is that what you're wearing to bed? You'll get cold." I'm sure hoping that the 4-year-old actor was wearing some coverage in the front, but it was certainly convincing and there was no doubt that another cut shot showed his little tushy. ? Lol. I wasnt bothered by the latter, but that front scene took me by surprise for a movie and with a young child. Anyone have thoughts or knowledge I cant find?

He was 4. What exactly is your issue?

He wasn't 4, he was 2 - big difference. The scene was hilarious. Stop turning it into something bad and dirty for Christ's sake.

You're got some issues if you see anything other than a cute little kid.

Jesus Christ. Is there some sort of special group where people like you meet up to discuss the "disturbing" and "inappropriate" things you see in 80's movies and help each other work through your issues?

In case there isn't, might I suggest you start one up and take your issues there instead of bringing them to imdb? If you need a place to start I can help:

- There's some broad on the Splash board who feels it is outrageous that the movie is rated PG when we see a partial split-second glimpse of a mermaid's breasts under the ocean in a non-sexual setting.

- There is no shortage of people on the Sixteen Candles board who declare that the movie is racist and offensive.

- Someone on the Monster Squad board feels that the movie should be edited to remove the word "homo" from the dialogue because it is offensive and if I remember correctly she feels kids don't truly talk that way.

- A woman (at least I assume it's a woman) on the Die Hard board wants to show that movie to her kid but refuses to do so unless the bad words are edited out. She is okay with extreme violence, execution, gore and blood but the word F V C K is an issue.

There, you should have a good start at least for your support group. Have fun.

He was two. I just saw an interview with the kid all grown up. He said he was two and thought it was funny.

I sure all the Catholic Priests were jacking off of over that scene!

[–] myndchanger 9 years ago

Why "all the Catholic Priests"? Are you saying that they are "all" pedophiles? Just interested. Because more sexual abuse has come from Protestant ministers than catholic priests. Also a long history in Islam.
