Movies That Could Never Be Made Today

48 Hrs. (1982)

Although 48 Hrs. may function as an entertaining buddy-cop film, its abundant and unapologetic utilization of sexually explicit and racially offensive language, including the frequent use of the highly derogatory “n-word,” would unquestionably render it unacceptable in today’s cultural climate. The evolving sensitivity towards such language and racial dynamics makes it clear that this film would be considered inappropriate and socially unacceptable by modern standards.
