Bone, you're lovably full of shit on this one. Red Dawn came out in 84. Taxi Driver, which made Red Dawn look like the Muppet Show, came out 8 years before it. Sheeit, even Road Warrior came out 3 years prior. And the God Father in 72? The horse head scene? The list is endless.

 

In any case, it was Sam Peckinpah's westerns that first started spraying blood all over the camera lens, starting the year Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

Red Dawn

 

Red Dawn was the first movie to be released with a Motion Picture Association of America PG-13 rating.[1] At one time, Red Dawn was considered the most violent film by the Guinness Book of Records and The National Coalition on Television Violence, with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute.[2]

That's an assinine measure of violence. Level of violence is measured by the explicit nature of the scenes in the film and their emotional impact, not some dumbfuck number of times per hour somebody gets beaned on the head with a wiffle bat. Shit, Tom and Jerry has more acts of violence than Red Dawn, by that measure. It's a C grade kid's film. Of course, you read it on the web, so it must be so.

 

Watch the final scene in Taxi Driver, which was made by a real director, with real actors, and tell me which movie leaves a more lasting impression.

Anyone see the MST3000 where they have a body count running in the corner of the screen for "Rambo?" Now *that* is comedy.
