Could I add all of Ultraviolet.
Provided you mean the recent Hollywood vampire movie, not the British TV series (miniseries by US standards) from the late 90s, which also featured (but made a point of not naming) our haemoglobin quaffing friends and was really rather good. The "Code V"s were cleverly used as a device to explore topics such as AIDS, abortion, child abuse etc.

I havn't posted in this thread since I couldn't really think of anything that stuck out in my mind as offensive. But having just seen the first few minutes of Episode 17 of season 2 of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, I now have a scene and a coupling that really pisses me off.
Lee Adama and Anastasia Duella.
My blood flashboiled at the image of them together in bed. Not onyl is just the idea of those two tpgether so wrong, but it's a huge spit in the face of her character, as well as the memory of Billy who died in the previous ep. Thr guy proposes to her after nearly two seasons of being together, she turns him down, he DIES saving her ass during a hostage situation, and what does she do to honor his memory. Turns around and shacks up with Adama, who he himself has a thing with Starbuck.
This coupling and the implications behind it pisses me off even more than Fred choosing Gunn over Wes.

"Four"
You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
"We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dakek. You are superior in only one respect."
"What is that?"
"You are better at dying."
Trash talk between a Cyberman and a Dalek. It doesn't get any better than that.

Well, i'll need a while to pick out a scene but for an offensive thing in the movies - Cat Womans costume (the Halle Berry one)
a singular insult to anybody who has ever even held a needle. Some one really needed to be shot for that one.
I vaguely remember some one saying some thing along the lines of it being the 'sartorial equivalent of an alchopop fueled spree in Anne Summers by a chavvy hen party'
or what ever. It was god awful.
But then i gather the film wasn't much better.
The only scene i've never been able to watch, even now, is the melting nazi scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when they open the ark?
It freaked me out as a kid, I was inconsolable for weeks, worse than when they made me watch Watership Down.

I felt bad for Bela Lugosi when I saw "Plan Nine from Outerspace". It was such a trashy film and Bela died before it ever got started. He would never have been apart of such terrible piece of "Go Se" if he was still alive. It is hard to believe his family allowed them to use his name in association with this awful movie. I know he made mostly B monster movies, but this one doesn't even come close. He was only in the first couple of minutes. They just used his name to sell more tickets. I can survive a bad movie but not exploitation.

I'm hard-pressed to pick a single scene. They were all entirely offensive, either to my intelligence or my sense of creativity.
Perhaps the most offensive (or nearly so) scene involves one officer's brain being sucked out of his head by a large bug's spiky tendril. Because, sure, sucking out someone's gray matter through a straw would of course instill you with all of their intelligence and insight...

I enjoyed Starship Troopers.
However, I was ill for a week after seeing Starship Troopers 2 *beats himself daily for EVER signing a petition to get Starship Troopers 2 made* needles to say, I'm not at all enthused about Starship Troopers 3
What do you make of the nylon dot cardigan and plastic mule rest?

Airplane! director slams Hollywood for "destroying comedy" and says his movie couldn't be made today

Agree with Clockwork Orange btw still is one of the more shocking movies today even with our Liberal Gore and smut and Violence and Pornography in Films
the big cancel culture thing today is politics and many old Scifi Fanatsy films of Yester-Year would offend today's viewers

You'd be hard pressed to find any media that wasn't offensive since 2012, sci-fi or otherwise.
