Independence Day
Notes About the Violence
This movie definitely pushes the limits of Skipping Scenes...but it is a very exciting movie and a lot of fun to watch, but there is one sequence that is just downright awful. If you are very sensitive, you may want to skip this movie. But if you have a pal that can ensure that you see no part of that one awful scene, then go for it!
Not Included in Scenes
The presence of aliens and general destruction.
General Warning
The 10th scene is off-the-charts bad, it is OK for listening, but don't watch it...we would probably rank it as the worst scene of all Skipping Scene's movies.
