All passengers on a flight out of Australia had to sit through an R-rated movie after an entertainment system glitch - eviltoast

Australian flag carrier Qantas has apologized after an R-rated movie was played on every screen during a flight.

The incident occurred on a flight between Sydney and Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

Technical issues with the Airbus A330’s in-flight entertainment system meant passengers couldn’t select their own movies.

Qantas said its crew members had a limited list of movies that could be played across every screen, and some passengers had requested a particular movie.

The Guardian reported that the film shown was “Daddio” — a 2023 film starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn.

It’s rated R for language throughout, sexual material, and brief graphic nudity. According to the Guardian, one passenger described it as “40 minutes of penis and boobs.”

    I have no idea what that movie is, but it sounds horrible. I’d be upset too.
