Kid Rock in Osmosis Jones. Shit, you couldn't get away with that during the mid 2010s. The song is about statutory rape being mandatory. Fuck off, Kid Rock.

Captain Commando was made with kids and teens in mind, but mostly kids. The game could get pretty graphic too. Pink hair is Carol, blonde one is Brenda, and the muscular girl is Mardia

Yeah, I'm necro'ing, but this popped in my head, and I feel it's relative to this old discussion:

Fisher Stevens as Ben in 1986's Short Circuit. It wasn't until I saw Stevens again in Hackers nearly a decade later that I realized the sweet, laughably stereotypical Indian man from Short Circuit was a actually a white dude. Ah, I miss the '80s, when funny and silly were just funny and silly and not insensitive and offensive...

Post stuff you couldn't get away with in 2020.
Hard-mode : Classics or stuff that was made by people who'd be very offended by it nowadays

My favorite action B-movie:

Nobody would get the satire nowadays... *sigh*
Jingoism? check. Fascism? check. Neil Patrick Harris in seamless segue meme bits? super check.
Given that Helldivers exists, I'd say you can, in fact, get away with this one.
