[Music]
terminals Cuba surprise will cup meet
your match won’t somebody please think
of the children
[Music]
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
mature movies with merchandise for kids
this is from getting on my bad side
you’re next John Koerner this list we’re
looking at movies that feature elements
you probably wouldn’t want to show to
your children
yep that ended up having tie-in
merchandise released aimed directly at
kitties you don’t have to be toxic to be
popular but it helps number-10 Starship
Troopers
never pass up a trivet a Starship
Troopers is a misunderstood movie whose
story goes a lot deeper than humanity’s
grizzly war against a bug race that
seems to want to eradicate us don’t do
your job I’ll kill you myself
so yes it’s about more than just the
mega violence we see on screen but that
in no way makes the fact that a man is
shot in the face and body parts are
ripped asunder any more appropriate for
the youngins that’s why it’s so amusing
that toys based on the film were
released including a miniatures game
video games action figures and even jet
toys with enticing try-me holes in the
packaging for the kiddies gotta recoup
that budget somehow funny how they
always want to be friends after they rip
your guts out that’s what I deserve
number nine first blood push it don’t
push it I’ll give you a war you will
believe John Rambo’s first film
adventure may have featured a lot less
killing that a lot of people would
assume but that doesn’t make it any more
child-friendly than you’d expect
[Music]
you gotta become war the sequels that
followed showed zero restraint in terms
of the body count somehow a toy line was
released featuring the character in
Rambo’s world
this guy’s trouble a toy line video
games comics and a cartoon series where
one of cinema’s most violent characters
was somehow set up to be enjoyed by
children water
well we guess some boardroom think tank
probably thought it’s got a GI Joe kind
of quality to it and that’s good enough
for this list
[Music]
number eight police academy where did
you get this gun my mom gave it to me
most 80s kids look back on police
academy as part of a more innocent time
but they’re wrong go back and watch the
original film with your adult glasses on
and imagine if you’d approve of showing
it to your son daughter niece nephew cat
or dog or worse your boss’s cat or dog
already told you once
nobody screws with me well maybe you’ll
meet the right girl and all that’ll
change it’s funny and loaded with
amusing voices and wacky sound effects
sure but there’s still a ton of adult
humor that permeates nearly every scene
that’s what makes it so mind-boggling
that this franchise then spawned not
only a toy line and comic books but also
an animated series number seven Judge
Dredd in a dystopian future where the
criminal justice system we’re familiar
with has been replaced by a corps of
officers who serve as judge jury and
executioner Dredd is a legendary figure
the best thing you can do is kill me in
the world of 90s pop culture a film
starring a character that kills several
people in the film’s opening was
apparently a good fit for a toy line for
kids the action that played out
on-screen was not nearly as severe as it
could have been given the source
material but there is still little
question that Dredd was not meant for
children
impressive his nostrils are they consume
number six predator what predator is one
of the best action movies of the 80s or
any decade and many many people collect
figures based on the film’s characters
to this day most of those collectors
however are full-grown adults who can
deal with a film about an alien creature
who methodically hunts down kills and
butchers army men and future state
governors to collect their skulls that
didn’t stop a toy company from marketing
a series of toys featuring the r-rated
alien creature to a g-rated audience
clan leader attacks with whipping
dreadlocks that is unless you think
adults would go wild for a
glow-in-the-dark spear firing action
figure and stalker glowing in the dark
fires his fears number 5 the toxic
avenger Troma entertainment is not
exactly your typical film studio but
they are pretty great at making bad
movies arguably chief among their cannon
the toxic avenger focuses on a bookish
98-pound weakling who is chased until he
falls into a drum of toxic waste which
horribly mutates him
[Music]
henceforth blessed with strength he
never before knew but cursed with a face
that looks like it’s melting
Toxie as he comes to be known kills
criminals with flair action figures from
playmates somehow that plot line
translated into a toy line that 80s and
90s kids will likely remember fondly as
well as comics and of course a
family-friendly cartoon called toxic
Crusaders number 4 Robocop Dead or Alive
you’re coming with me
Robocop became something of a superhero
in the eyes of children everywhere due
in large part to a TV show two animated
series video games comic books and that
time he showed up at a wrestling match
what many of those kids did not know was
that the film that their champion stars
in is incredibly gory
[Music]
whether it’s Murphy slow brutal death or
the moment where a grotesquely mutated
bad guy is liquefied this movie is
intense crime strikes to say Robocop
pulls no punches is an incredible
understatement so yeah a kid-friendly
toy line seems like the way to go we’d
buy that for a dollar unbeatable
number three Terminator 2 Judgment Day
hasta la vista baby James Cameron is one
of the most successful filmmakers of all
time and he was arguably at his best
when he made one of the most beloved
film sequels ever my mission is to
protect you yeah who sent you you did
combining amazing special effects that
largely hold up to this day perfectly
defined characters and a symphony of
violence t2 has almost everything now
create your own Terminator with the file
flesh regenerator what it clearly lacks
however is a narrative that many parents
would want their kids acting out when
they sit down to play Terminator fine
back got to paunch Oren corner of course
we’re guessing by this point in the list
that you figured out that means it was
perfect material for comics writers
video game producers and toy makers
terminator deploys his secret weapon
hasta LaVista baby terminated number two
alien dinner presents shoo alien
Ridley Scott’s alien is a masterwork
intention highlighted by one of the
scariest scenes featuring a newborn
alien that you’ll ever see its sequel
aliens opted instead to pump up the
action and used a seemingly endless
supply of Xenomorphs to get our hearts
pumping
either films toy line had potential to
make the cut but it’s a combination of
the r-rated terror the first film heaped
on audiences and the disastrous 18-inch
action figure released by Kenner that
made the grave quickly recalled due to
parental pressure and its tendency to
break this toy tie-in was an unmitigated
failure but today it’s a highly
sought-after collectible so we guess
that’s something alien action figure you
from Jenner before we reveal our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions evildoers everywhere number one
Conan the Barbarian crush your enemies
see them driven before you they had a
lamentation of the women
that’s Conan’s reply when he’s asked
what’s best in life the movie that
launched arnold schwarzenegger to
worldwide fame it’s a film rife with
lunch box sticker moments such as when
he punches a horse as sexy times with a
witch and kills like he was bred to do
it which to be fair he kind of was now
go down in the evil rapmon faced off
with giant bat medallion we can totally
see how it made sense to make a kid’s
cartoon starring such a character as
well as yep you guessed it a toy line
it’s adventure beyond imagination danger
beyond your wildest dreams and action
bigger than you’ve ever seen before what
makes this all even crazier is that the
animated series and action figures
weren’t actually even that bad and in
the case of the cartoon at least was
perfectly age-appropriate
