Movies that would get "cancelled" if made today? I'm sure the list is long and

distinguished, but I just happened to watch one of the Rush Hour movies with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker a few days ago and was kind of surprised at that racial jokes, female jokes, etc. My 14 year old was in the room for some of it and was just jokingly saying, "CANCELLED" every time they made an joke that is NOT ok in today's climate.
