Would you watch a certificate 18 or violent movie on a plane

[t1grm]

On your laptop with headphones - not on the airline entertainment system obviously.

I'd like to watch Rise of the Footsoldier on the flight I'm about to board - it's downloading now. By all accounts it's a bit gritty and rough. I'm worried about kids in nearby seats seeing it and parents complaining. Less so some Mary Whitehouse being offended and complaining.

Should I be concerned? Anyone else do it occasionally?

I've watched 18's on the in flight entertainment on the seat back iirc.

depends where your sat , if it's a window seat then yeah but turn the laptop towards you, but if it was an aisle seat then probably not.

They have 18s on the in-flight entertainment on many airlines, they did last time I flew Emirates. I'd have no problem watching an 18 on my laptop. If someone doesn't want to see it they shouldn't look, easy enough.

No problem whatsoever, other than the risk of death by embarrassment if you get caught watching such a terrible movie in public.

I tugged one off sat in the centre seat under the complimentary blanket using the hand moisturiser from the loos while watching "Swedish Topless Chainsaw Nuns Volume 6" on my Macbook last week so I wouldn't worry about it

I think I got your seat. What a mess!

Once on a BA long haul flight I prepared to watch the first movie showing (back in the days of the big communal screen) just after take off.

They accidentally loaded the wrong movie and Essex Boys started playing, uncut.

I think it lasted around 45 minutes including the almost rape sex scene and the adult language every other word.

There were a lot of apologies. Surprised to see it last so long!

I use the Glasgow to London train all the time and watch a movie on the journey. My own statistics show that every time even the mildest sex scene comes up the attendant walks up and offers to fill your tea up.

OP I wouldn't worry about it. It's quite hard to see a laptop screen unless you are at a very specific angle.

This isn't taking into account that Rise of the Footsoldier is fking awful

I watch movies on my laptop all the time on a plane.

I'm just mindful of who I am sat next too - If I'm sat next to a kid i'll make sure nothing offensive is on.


Though sometimes when my fellow neighbour passenger is a nosey bd I put on a few minutes of some not so savoury scenes of true blood or similar for a minute or two just to see their reaction - can be quite fun...when sat next to old codgers, they love seeing Sookie Stackhouse going at it!
