Would there have been anything wrong if they had shot them and ET somehow stopped the bullets just making them drop harmlessly to the ground?
The radios look wrong and if they aren't even going to at least point the guns at the kids, that doesn't look right either.
I guess they just had to have something in their hands.
Or why even bother with having the road blocked at all?
They did have to have something in their hands as you said it was a road block. That said did they really think that was going to stop an alien? Just a movie I know.
I'm not sure how the original Ghostbusters film would go now either. Venkmann is a bit of a predator if we see him through PC glasses, actually even back then we knew what he was lol. He also abuses his authority by torturing that volunteer at the start while allowing the blonde woman to think she is psychic.
Blazing Saddles would have to be chopped to pieces with all the "N" words dropped. As a kid though I know this was shown on TV without any issues.
Airplane! Or Flying High! As it was called here in Australia would be in trouble. There are so many off colour jokes including a fairly lengthy one about homosexuality including hints at child abuse. Jokes about drug abuse, sexism, I could go on. It would make SJW's break down in tears.
Here is another one I just read about Aladdin -
Disney? Racist? So argued the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee who said that two lines of the song ‘Arabian Nights’ from the 1992 Oscar-winner were offensive.
The original version of the tune featured the lyrics: “Where they cut off your ear/
If they don’t like your face/It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home.”
After complaints, Disney – having sought permission from the estate of lyricist Howard Ashman who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1991 – agreed to change the words for home video and any future theatrical releases, using an alternate verse written by Ashman.
The new lyrics are: “Where it’s flat and immense/And the heat is intense/It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home.”
Pressure groups still balked at the use of the word barbaric and strove to have it altered, but Disney refused. “Barbaric refers to the land and the heat and not to the people,” Disney distribution president Dick Cook explained to the LA Times in 1993.

Why in the fuck are they being such pansies with the truth?
Imagine a Dizzy version of ISIS.
So as not to offend them, instead of even suggesting beheadings, they will instead show them just bopping a victim on the head and then sending them on their way all happily to the land of rainbows and unicorns.
