I juat cringed because that was an ancient urban legend that I had seen before
Not just an urban legend, in that people have been found dead, stuck in chimneys. Gift link to a New York Times story about a thirty-year-old case at Cornell.
Wow. Thanks
The first time I saw that movie was at a college watching party; half the group left the room after the graduation scene.
Not a movie, but in the satirical novel Superfolks, there’s mention of the hero’s BIL having taken a dive into an empty pool and being crippled. I can’t remember a reason for the incident.
Well, there’s the rape scene in Revenge of the Nerds.
It isn’t treated as a rape/any big deal in the story, and I was out of the country when the movie was released in the U.S. (1984) so I don’t know if there was any outcry at the time, but…yeah.
