My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I’m not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I’m there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, “The Big Boss (1971)”. In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That’s not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn’t believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn’t fall asleep. I never told my parents.

      Lol I honestly don’t remember anything at all from that movie, except boobs. I was in 2nd grade.

        I saw it when I was in college. Not sure if I knew what breasts were for in second grade. I either feel jealous or sorry for you.

        I am not sure which.

        It was made by the folks behind Airplane and Hot Shots. The humor is very much unrefined though. It might be worth a rewatch now that you’re older.

        Kind of like watching Shrek as an adult, you get the second set of jokes.

          Haha maybe I’ll get around to it. You should probably feel nothing for my second grade self watching that movie, it didn’t have much of an impact on me other than thinking it’s funny I watched it.
