It’s guaranteed at this point that no matter what kind of satirical take on the United States or the world comes out, there are going to be people who misunderstand and misconstrue it.

The 1987 sci-fi action film Robocop contained one of the most gruesome and shocking death scenes in all of cinema history. The scene was so graphically violent that it has been seared into the memories of those who saw it, remaining disturbing even decades later.
