I have never walked out of a movie... but I would have walked out of Bad Santa. I was in the middle of a full row and did not want to disturb the other folks to get out. Watching a grown man repeatedly wet himself became absolutely painful. I enjoy dark humor (the Coen and Ferrelly bros), but that movie just put me off. I know lots of people found it very funny.

Most walkouts ive seen was during The Devils Rejects, I really don't get why anyone would got to that film if they weren't expecting gore and violence... Only film ive ever walked out of was Spy Kids 2... God that was bad.

Two movies come to mind when I think about people walking out during the film. The first one was Clive Barker's Nightbreed. The film had just started and the title of the film was scrolling across the screen in huge letters. And you could scenes of weird creatures and people getting killed in the letters. A couple popped up out of their seats and bolted out of the theater with their son who looked to be 5 or 6 at the most. At the time I was 12 or 13 and all my mother kept telling me throughout the film was that I owed her big time.

The next film was Rising Sun. Again right at the beginning during the sex/murder scene two older couples in their 60's jumped up and took off out of the theater.

Never walked out myself because as others say, it's wasting my money. I hardly go to any movies in theaters anymore, maybe once a year, but in the summer of 1996, a friend of mine and I saw 23 movies and he didn't walk either.

But we did talk over and make fun of The Great White Hype.

I think some people just go to the movies without checking listings and just pick something out. These same people aren't reading about films and know nothing in advance.

There are also people who still think they can go to Blockbuster and rent King Kong the same day it's released in theaters.

I remeber No Country For Old Men having alot of walkouts opening night. It was about half full, and about 6 people throughout the movie got up and left. Another one was City of God. Alright, not really but funny story. A dad and 4 or 5 kids came into the theater. During the final trailer, someone sitting next to them, leaned over and said something to the likes of "You realize this is city of god, and not" whatever kiddie movie was playing next door. And they all got up and left. Oh, and about 5 minutes into superbad, a black guy took what looked like his 7 or 8 year old daughter by the hand and walked out. I think it was a combination of the non stop sexual content and the nudity on the porn mag. Why people dont do research and or at least check the rating before taking their kid to an r rated movie. That reminds me too, a guy with what looked like a 5 or 6 year old, bought tickets to Bad Boys 2, and with the kid singing the theme song too. Kind of wonder how long they lasted in the theater.

Wow, a resurrection two years to the day!

Anyway, I've walked out on three movies in my life, Dynamite Chicken and The Year of Living Dangerously.

Also had to walk out on Transformers, but not due to quality. There was an emergency at work.

The only one that comes to mind is The Fountain. Everyone that walked out looked like they had come in expecting a date movie.

I've seen a few stinkers I've been tempted to walk out on, but never actually did. I figure'd if I paid to see it, might as well suffer (although I guess if you leave before half the movies over some theaters will let you see something else? I didn't know this until recently..)

Anyway, I saw EdTV opening weekend. Had I been able to drive then I would have left without a doubt.. but with that one I even had a free ticket!

I saw 28 Weeks Later last year (which I loved) and movie-hopped into Georgia Rule.. I never saw so many people leave a theater in such a short span of time. They marketed the movie as a feel-good mother's day movie.. I guess a lot of moms and daughters weren't expecting the content. I was forced to see it because of my girlfriend at the time, but I swear.. I should have done everything in my power to leave.

Hmm, I realize I just gave examples of movies where I didn't have to pay.. I know there's more though.

I just saw Pathology. I thought it looked ok. Peter Patrelli and Alyssa Milano - you could do worse right?. I was actually wasting time until the Forgetting Sarah Marshall showing. We had nothing else to do or we may have walked out too. There were three couples that walked out at the exact same time. It was humorous.

Spoiler:
I think the women lost it when they killed the molester and then started having sex right next to him. Ah, fun times


That movie was pretty gross.

Only movie I ever walked out on, and the one I've seen the most walk-outs as well was The Crappy Thin Red Line.

Only time I ever even considered walking was South Park. Specifically when Saddam started waving his junk around.

I don't know, I have a hard time resisiting a loud 'Oh fuck you!' to people who walk out of films because they're old, it offends their poor middle-American sensibilities, or they're too damn stupid to read subtitles.
Jebus, read a freakin review for cryin' out loud!
