Hindu fanatics in India attacked the set of Deepa Mehta's "Water," burned stuff etc. She had to delay the shoot and move production to Sri Lanka. Not a bad movie either. Looking forward to her rendition of Salman Rusdhie's Midnight's Children, which was also shot in Sri Lanka, probably to avoid Muslim fanatics in India.
There's a infamous riot that happened on Chestnut Street in Philly back in the 80s. It happened after an Easter Sunday screening of The Last Dragon. I was out there and basically mad kids left the theater all thinking they were Bruce Leroy and had "The Glow" which quickly turned into a massive riot with looting and shit. Fucking Philly.
Around the same time there was a near-riot around a screening of Tougher Than Leather.
I believe people lost their shit over Greenaway's The Baby of M??con, which was partially inspired by another controversial baby - the slimy still attached to the cord one in a Benetton print ad. Both the film and ad were banned all over the place.
It is a beautiful film - aside from Lilya-4-Ever - the most difficult film I have ever watched.
On a more serious note, has anyone accidentally caused an incident with a twitter flash mob at one of their own events?
I know Dave Chapel underestimated the size of the crowd that would show up in downtown Portland and his boombox PA system was, what's a nice way to say it, was "not up to the task it was assigned." He was a bit shocked by how many showed up for his impromptu performance.

Yep, I saw this in 1988 in Raleigh NC on its release and there was a crowd of Christian protesters right alongside the ticket line. Peaceful though.
Can cos-players REALLY be involved in a "riot"? Seems like riots need to consist of random ordinary folks, not people in face make-up.

didnt Boys In The Hood and Menace To Society cause riots?
Or just stabbings and shootings?
