Although in Slovenia we do not have the same "problems" as in the USA, where the age limit for watching a movie in the cinema is more than just a warning/recommendation, as children we all found ourselves in situations when our parents covered our eyes because of inappropriate scenes, ranging from excessive violence to sex, or they even banned us from viewing it. We've collected some of those from the 90s that you could only watch as an adult.
Parents they try to protect their children from everything wicked and sinful, what the world has to offer, including before violent and sex and nudity full of scenes in movies. Of course, such an approach usually triggers more additional stimulus, but twenty years ago it was not so easy to "illegally" get to them. By the way, YouTube has only existed since 2005, so the choice was poor. A explicitness either in the form of blood spurts or ticklish content somehow always found its way to our eyes, even though the first version was often only available in audio format.

Let's look at some movies for which we were like "mules and mules" deprived and why that was the case.
1. Showgirls
Starring: Elizabeth Berkley, Kyle MacLachlan, Gina Gershon
Release year: 1995
Reason: Plenty of nudity, striptease and passionate sex. And a little violence for good measure.
2. Total Recall
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, The Woman With Three Breasts
Release year: 1990
Reason: The aforementioned triple-breasted woman, non-stop violence and gore, including an explosion of Arnie's face and a human as a shield.
3. Blade
Starring: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson
Release year: 1998
Reason: Brutal vampire violence and a lot of spills or. drink blood.
4. Mortal Kombat
Starring: Christopher Lambert and a bunch of others who don't matter
Release year: 1995
Reason: Although the movie is not nearly as violent as the game, the excessive use of the word "bullshit" puts it on the banned list. These were the times when the emotional damage that the film could cause to the child was also taken into account. Today, when realistic scenes of violence are a constant, it is hard to imagine that they once hung on words.
5. Jurassic Park
Starring: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum
Release year: 1993
Reason: Dinosaurs probably have their fingers covering their eyes with their fingers in between, snacking on humans like we do French fries or snacks.
6. Titanic
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane
Release year: 1997
Reason: Not the death of over 1,500 people, but that one breast of Kate Winslet.
7. Pulp Fiction (Šund)
Cast: John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames
Release year: 1994
Reason: If you've been looking for a movie that has almost every element inappropriate for young audiences, you've found it. Violence, murder, drugs, sex, nudity and Quentin Tarantino. And not only as a director, but also as an actor. Like in a supermarket, everything you want.
8. Eyes Wide Shut
Starring: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman
Release year: 1999
Reason: Orgy, nudity, sex and probably an Illuminati conspiracy.
9. The Silence of the Lambs
Starring: Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins
Release year: 1991
Reason: Similar to Šund, it is easier to gather what is suitable in the film than what is not suitable for younger people. The cannibalism of Hannibal Lecter certainly has the most butter on his head.
10. There's Something About Mary
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon
Release year: 1998
Reason: That one single scene when Ben Stiller plays hand pool or. handball. Oh, and the one when he gets it between the zipper.
11. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Terminator 2: Judgment Day)
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Robert Patrick
Release year: 1991
Reason: Nuclear holocaust and the scene where the T-1000 stabs a man through a milkshake with a sword.
12. Braveheart
Starring: Mel Gibson
Release year: 1995
Reason: The battle at the end of the film, which is extremely violent and graphic. Alas, the fact that the film is full of historical inaccuracies is of secondary importance.
13. Fargo
Cast: Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi
Release year: 1996
Reason: Two words or one machine - a wood chipper.
14. Sling Blade
Played by: Billy Bob Thornton
Release year: 1996
Reason: Profanity galore and excessive use of the title tool for evil purposes.
15. Starship Troopers
Starring: Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris
Release year: 1997
Reason: Explicit violence that serves up brains, ripping limbs, and insects that pay us dearly for vivisection. Which sounds terrible to children's ears, but is much less than when we watch the film as adults. But be thankful if you were prevented from viewing him as a child.
