1. Blood Brothers scene: I think this is self explanatory!
2. Toy Water Guns: Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they playing with syringes?!
Am I the only one who was taken aback by these two scenes?
Apparently there was a warning about the "blood brothers" scene.
shareIn the original script they drink each others blood. It was awesome.

I did sixty in five minutes once...
Think about the time when the movie takes place. I was a child in the early eighties and did the blood brothers. It was perfectly safe back in the day. I'm not sure what's wrong with shooting water out of syringes?
shareWell I guess I see everyone's viewpoint about the blood brothers scene....But, syringes are dangerous and children should NOT be playing with them!

There were no needles attached to the syringes. Perfectly safe.
^ Ahh thankyou for emphasizing that, botl. True that! :)
shareThis! My grandpa was diabetic, when I was a kid he would always give me his old syringes (minus the needle) so I could give my dollies shots.
shareExactly

But the DR took them right out of the packaging & so they were totally sterile & safe.
share1) The blood brothers scene was set in a pre-AIDS era. In the UK, there was a warning about copying this scene when the film first aired in the 90s though.
2) The scene focused on the fact that the kids saw the syringes as water pistols and nothing more. Also, in a far more innocent age, kids didn't think associated syringes with junkies.

Yeah really, duh! What nurse is going to give kids syringes WITH needles in them to use as water guns? Even for the 70s they had more brains than that.
shareWow, you're a prude. Lighten up.
shareThey were syringes, not needles, numbnuts.
And blood brothers, you're offended by this? Kids used to do that when I was little and I wasn't even born in '72, which is when the movie was set.
Pull the stick out of your ass, OP.

I swear people have just gotten over sensitive. We're becoming a nation of crybaby wussies. In that day and age the blood brother thing was not uncommon and I'm sure plenty of kids including myself shot water out of a syringe a a time or two. It's called playing!
