    Rocky Horror Picture Show was not for me. Midnight movie, the crowd was a bunch of jerks and I didn't like the movie.
     
  2. I walked out on that film Heat. To this day I still haven't seen it, nor do I recall why I walked out. It's the only film I've ever walked out on.

    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) is racist? I looked it up to see if there was any controversy surrounding this flick but I didn't find any. How is it racist?

    With Pacino and DeNiro? Good movie but it drags on. I'd cut a half hour out and tighten the pacing to make it better.

    I walked out on The-Out-of-Towners. Did NOT find it funny. I wanted to walk out on A Clockwork Orange - way too brutal for me - but I was with a group. Haven’t seen those films since.
     
  6. I didn't walk out, but my wife and I saw Air Force One in a theater when it first came out, and there was a problem with the projector early in the film for about 10-12 minutes (the film was wildly out of focus, iirc). I think I finally went out and found somebody to fix it.

    Anyway, I don't think we missed much. But overall, we thought the movie was SO BAD, that on principle -- I asked for my money back (or, rather, credit towards tickets to another movie).

    So we didn't walk out, technically -- but I was damn tempted.

    Does falling asleep count ?

    If so, I "walked out" during Four Christmases.

    I have walked out several times but I have a hard time remembering which ones. I do remember walking out on Under Siege 2. I blame myself since I should have known better after the first one.

    No. I have to see it through to the end and get my moneys worth, come hell or high water!! Besides even with the most rubbish-iest of films it's still something to do while you finish your extra large popcorn and coke...

    Some 80's 3D cheesefest called "Treasure of The Four Crowns". I got roped into going with a couple of friends that had never seen a 3D movie before, and they almost immediately regretted it. Plot was cribbed from this, that and the other, laughable special effects, and the dialog poorly dubbed. After 30 minutes we snuck into another theater and watched something else. Can't remember what.

    I wanted so bad to walk out of the The Cook, the Thief, but the other guy drove. Horrid film, I saw at least 10 people walk out

    If walking out on a dvd counts, I walked out on Ghost World and Chocolat

    At the dollar theater my (then) wife and eye walked out of "Lost Highway" which was very boring and caught most of "Selena".

    We did the same with "Setting It Off" and went and saw a pretty decent Whoopi Goldberg comedy whose name escapes me right now.

    Barely made it 30 minutes and had to leave. Luckily this was back when movies were $3.25 with a student ID, so not too much money wasted.

    Two: Waterworld (amd we returned merely to pick up the people we went with) and some Mel Brooks debacle that I can't even recall the name of. For that last one, it was in a multiplex, so we walked into another movie.

    not if I paid for it...I went to the movies that I wanted to see full aware of the plot, actors, etc...

    I don't remember the movie, but we did walk out of one once because it was too damn loud and the operator would not budge.

    The Linguini Incident (1991)

    I was really into David Bowie at that time, having then attended his Sound+Vision concert and recently purchased most of those Ryko reissues, but this film was so suffocatingly boring I just had to leave the theater after about half an hour of it in order to breathe. :thumbsdow
    Fortunately, I did get my money back! :goodie::pineapple:

    Sorry, but I think you should exercise a tad more discrimination in your movie choices. :eek:

    Can't imagine wanting to spend money to see any of these on plot/concept alone! :laugh:

    Is that a joke? If not, why did you go in the first place? :p

    Actually, no. I paid see it twice. The first time I felt I had not given the movie the chance it deserved so I decided to give it another shot. I walked out again!

    BTW the movie in question was “1984” with John Hurt and Richard Burton. Loved the novel .... the movie? Not so much, obviously.
