Dennis the Menace (1993)
Dennis the Menace is a 1993 American family comedy film based on the Hank Ketcham comic strip of the same name. The film follows the mischievous adventures of Dennis Mitchell, a young boy who loves to cause trouble for his neighbor, Mr. Wilson. While the film is mostly family-friendly, there are a few sexual moments that may surprise viewers.
The first sexual moment occurs when Dennis is playing with a toy gun and accidentally shoots a water balloon at Mr. Wilson’s wife, Martha. As she is cleaning up the mess, she turns to Dennis and says, “You know, Dennis, one of these days you’re going to have to learn to control that thing.” This is a subtle reference to the fact that Dennis will one day have to learn to control his sexual urges.
The second sexual moment occurs when Dennis and his friend, Margaret, are playing in the park. Dennis is trying to impress Margaret by showing off his karate moves, but he accidentally kicks her in the stomach. She responds by saying, “Ooh, Dennis, you’re going to have to learn to control that thing.” Again, this is a reference to the fact that Dennis will one day have to learn to control his sexual urges.
The third sexual moment occurs when Dennis and Margaret are playing in the park and Dennis accidentally kicks a soccer ball into a pond. As he is trying to retrieve it, he falls in and Margaret comes to his rescue. She helps him out of the pond and says, “You know, Dennis, one of these days you’re going to have to learn to control that thing.” This is a reference to the fact that Dennis will one day have to learn to control his sexual urges.
Overall, Dennis the Menace is a fun family film, but it does contain a few sexual moments that may surprise viewers. While these moments are subtle, they are a reminder that Dennis will one day have to learn to control his sexual urges.
