The vomiting scene was one of the most offensive ever in a film.

I lost all sympathy for Junior after being subjected to the "projectile vomit" scene at the amusement park. Consider how it's not just the bully and Trixie who are on that ride, it's a whole bunch of innocent bystanders who've done nothing wrong, not to mention every person watching the ride who get puked on. How about that guy and his date who wanted to spend a nice time together who ended up getting puked on? And consider the emotional scarring people would suffer. After this, Junior richly deserved to be sent to Bagdad. If I were his dad Ben Healey I'd have sent him there myself! (Actually, and I'm sorry if saying this grosses anyone out, but Junior really deserved being dunked in a bucket of vomit just to see how it is.) I just hope (and would think) that the amuesment park owners got their a**es sued off by the victims of the incident for having a speed switch completely unprotected and located in a place where any punk kid could mess with it just to see what would happen. Those of you who think this sort of thing is funny, imagine going on that ride yourself having expecting to have a good time and then having the speed go all the way up and then both vomiting and getting vomited on and then tell me if you still like Junior or not.

This scene makes me want to vomit. But I like the film, and there are far worse ones out these days.

Just watched the vomit scene again. First watched it when I was like 12, now I am 33, and laughed as much if not more. I don't see how you get offended by such a fake looking vomit. But the dad puking on his kid in the end....... HAHA

I thought the vomit scene was funny. It was the lard-ass scene from Stand By Me when they pie eaters puked up blueberry pie was disgusting for real.

There was a great older thread about this scene just recently deleted.

The only thing that bothers me about this scene is how fake it looks. For each person puking you can tell they have a tube projecting their fake vomit on the other side of their face. The Sandlot also had a puking scene that's done so much better.

It was funny at first, but then it went overboard. There was a few gratuitous scenes in this like the cockroach dinner and filming the babysitter and her boyfriend. I think they went a little too far in places.

It's a comedy. It's not meant to be taken seriously. It was hysterical.

It's a comedy and the scene is FUNNY.

Something about the OP saying that this scene is one of the most offensive scenes ever in any movie...just makes me laugh.

I miss that other vomit thread that got purged. A lot of personal stories and interesting observations.

As a kid I used to laugh at this scene, as an adult I get grossed out by it as I cannot stand watching people vomit to this day.
