8mm was released 27 years ago. The original script was even darker and more explicit. Director Joel Schumacher trimmed some of the most disturbing material to secure an R rating, but the film still kept its bleak, uncompromising tone intact.

Nobody expected Galaxy Quest (1999) to be that clever or that funny. The original tone was darker and more violent, but it was reworked into a more comedic, PG-rated film after test screenings. It’s still one of the best sci-fi comedies ever made.
