I remember watching World War Z (2013) whilst aboard on a flight, the latter half of this scene was removed just because it involves Brad Pitt’s character detonating a grenade inside a plane because of zombies. I mean why is it that movies before being shown on planes have to cut out specific scenes despite it being a work of fiction?

    If someone has flying anxiety and saw this scene, they might have a panic attack. Because of the environment and how a flight might need to be rerouted in case of an emergency, it makes sense to remove scenes that can cause a stress spike. Specifically the ones involving planes crashing and exploding. Just a guess though, I’ve never noticed any scenes being cut before.
