sometimes the worlds of reality and
fiction don’t just meet they collide
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 movies
impacted by real-life events number 10
teaching mrs. tingle kicking off our
list is the unfortunate film production
that coincided with a Columbine High
School shooting after that massacre
claimed the lives of 12 students and one
teacher there was intense public outcry
against teen violence the studio decided
to delay and rename their dark comedy
then titled killing mrs. tingle as it
centered on a teens plan to offer
teacher in order to become school
valedictorian why are you so bitter and
angry why do you want to destroy me I
don’t want to destroy you I want to
teach you number nine steamboat bill jr.
the oldest film on our list this silent
comedy is the story of a steamboat
captain whose son joins his crew the
movies original script had it ending
with a flood however when a real-life
flood devastated Mississippi writer and
star Buster Keaton made the last-minute
decision to change the destructive
weather phenomenon to a cyclone to avoid
any association by the audience
number eight GI Joe retaliation despite
a strong and expensive existing
marketing campaign this sequel was
delayed a full 10 months from its
original release date the real-world
reason Channing Tatum originally he was
killed off in the film’s first real you
never see coming
securities early
but he suddenly became a major
box-office draw this meant they needed
to reshoot scenes to keep his character
alive well and most importantly
available for future sequels driving
like you stole it as your good friend
you need new catchphrase number 7 Bruno
you wouldn’t expect this unapologetic
satirical comedy about a gay Austrian
fashion reporter to pull any punches put
your shoulders back this is a fashion
show not a slave auction
however when Michael Jackson died the
same day as its Hollywood premiere
filmmakers scrambled to recut it out of
respect they removed a prank in which
Bruno mocked Jackson’s sister Latoya
while compelling her to eat sushi off
the body of a naked Mexican man I think
I think I’ll have her go this one but
don’t worry the scene eventually
reemerged as a DVD bonus feature number
6 The Time Machine this loose adaptation
of HG Wells iconic sci-fi novel features
an apocalyptic depiction of 2037 New
York however the film was delayed so
they could make changes to that scene
debris from the disintegrating moon was
originally seen falling and impacting
buildings in a fashion reminiscent of
9/11 camcorder footage for sensitivities
sake those impacts were digitally
replaced with lava rising from the
ground we guess that makes sense
number 5 The Imaginarium of Doctor
Parnassus this film was one third
complete when actor Heath Ledger
tragically passed away due to his
popularity from the previous years the
Dark Knight Terry Gilliam was allowed to
transform it into a fond farewell by
casting three of Ledger’s friends Johnny
Depp Jude Law and Colin Farrell as
separate versions of his character
incredibly this gamble worked seamlessly
due to the film’s dream setting
number four dr. Strangelove Stanley
Kubrick was set to debut his new comedy
to the press on November 22nd 1963
however he cancelled following the
assassination of President Kennedy
due to the new eerie distastefulness of
several gags he subsequently edited the
phrase a fella could have a pretty good
weekend in Dallas by swapping the
location for Vegas shooter fella could
have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with
all and stabbed and cut a pie-throwing
sequence featuring the line our beloved
president has been struck down in his
prime number three gangster squad after
the mass shooting tragedy during a
midnight premiere of The Dark Knight
Rises in Aurora Colorado the trailer for
Gangster Squad was pulled because it
featured a gunfight scene set in a movie
theater
keeping the section unaltered in the
feature seemed insensitive so Warner
Brothers considered altering the film
and delayed its release
to incorporate a less controversial gun
fight number 2 spider-man as illustrated
in earlier examples 9/11 had a sweeping
impact on Hollywood the World Trade
Center featured prominently in the
trailer and poster for spider-man but
those shots were all carefully removed
from the final film including a scene
where the hero traps a helicopter in a
net between the two towers men in black
2 was similarly altered as the original
ending featured UFOs emerging from the
World Trade Center structures number 1
the watch taking the top spot on our
list is hollywood’s worst case of bad
timing
this raunchy sci-fi comedy initially
called neighborhood watch had its title
and marketing materials changed when
neighborhood watch volunteer george
zimmerman shot and killed florida teen
trayvon martin understandably the studio
did not want to draw the attention of
outraged Americans
just imagine the marketing nightmare
this poster prompted freeze trad wig
game over
murder of manfred Salsbury antonio
guzman and that little punk skater kid
