I believe in one of the alien film commentaries, i heard that they had to cut a scene of ripley lock picking her hand cuffs for a certain country, because it wasn't allowed to be shown.
I don't know if there are any laws like that in america. I know in fight club they changed some chemical formulas so they weren't just teaching people how to make bombs. I think that makes some sense to do.
Scream says that movies don't create psychopaths, movies just make them more creative. What do you guys think?
I have been writing a short crime thriller, and some of the coolest parts are the original ways that the main character gets away with his crimes. It required a lot of deliberation and creativity, but it also serves as an instruction manual because I believe these methods would work in real life.
Personally I love that kind of stuff in movies. Like the scene in the hunted where tommy lee jones teaches you how to kill someone with a knife. Or thunderball where sean connery uses a hidden tape recorder to find out if someone is in his house. In MacGyver when i learned that aluminum and rust becomes thermite, and you can ignite it with magnesium! To me it is something special in a film when I am really entertained and i learn something real at the same time. Even if it is crime related
