My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I'm not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I'm there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, "The Big Boss (1971)". In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That's not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn't believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn't fall asleep. I never told my parents.

~~Homey the Clown~~ Shakes the Clown. Dad took that shit out after three lines. Maybe. The movie started with a group of clowns/men discussing their pussy preferences.

There was a MOVIE?!?

Based on the In Living Color character?

I've come to learn from other responses that this was likely not a Homey movie, but I've always believed since childhood that it was. Someone said it might be called Vulgar (2000), but that seems too late in my life to correlate to the movie we saw. I'm currently digging to figure out what it was. I swear the men sitting around talking about pussy were clowns.

Edit: Looks like it was Shakes the Clown.

The Chicago Chronicles short I'm assuming?

After some digging I've learned I'm misremembering it being Homey, and it was instead the 1991 film Shakes the Clown.

Or perhaps you mean the movie Vulgar the clown?

Realized this having been Homey is a false memory, and found out it was Shakes the Clown.
