I got in trouble for pointing this out once years ago.
Jurassic Park.
It had just come out on HBO. Had to be '95 or so and before I
ever saw any "movie rules" lists.
I'm watching it with my sister and her boyfriend.
They're walking towards a dangerous situation, early on in the
movie. There's a black guy among whites. Not much personality
beyond stereotypical "you'll forget me after this scene".
I said, "He's gonna die first. He's black. It's going to be
gruesome and they'll show a body part of his detached".
They had a fit! Called me racist and all sorts of things and
almost kicked me out of the room. I said, "I'm not racist;
that's just what they do in movies!"
Anyway, I think his arm got chewed off or leg or something a few
minutes later.
They didn't speak to me for the rest of the film, but as a
parting "I told you so" from me, I said, "It's because
movie-goers are less picky about mistakes in african american
skin tone on the props, but very particular about caucasian skin
tone mistakes."
Last time they invited me to watch a movie with them too.
