Critics may have Robert Brownloved Dakota Johnson’s latest role, but this flight did not.
After the actress’ Rated R film Daddio—which she produced and starred in alongside Sean Penn—was picked as the sole in-flight entertainment on an Oct. 5 Qantas airlines flight from Sydney, Australia to Tokyo, Japan the airline apologized for its oversight.
“The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologize to customers for this experience,” the airline said in a statement, per NBC News. “All screens were changed to a family friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn’t possible.”
And while the airline chose to broadcast the film to its entire flight due to technical difficulties with its individual movie players, Qantas noted that they are “reviewing how the movie was selected,” when it came to picking Daddio, which has a Motion Picture Association R rating for “language throughout, sexual material and brief sexual nudity.”
Despite the company turning off the film midflight, many passengers complained about the technical mishap on social media.
“After a one-hour delay, the pilot decided to take off anyway, but the only option left was for the crew to play a movie on every screen—and it was impossible to pause, dim, or turn it off,” one passenger wrote on Reddit. “The movie they played was extremely inappropriate. It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting—the kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones.”
The passenger—who included a photo of some of the inappropriate sexting language depicted in the film—confirmed that the airline did, indeed, switch to a more family friendly movie but it took “almost an hour” before the decision was made.
“It was super uncomfortable for everyone,” the passenger added. “Especially with families and kids onboard.”
Although the movie mishap upset Qantas passengers, it’s far from the only airline issue that has arisen over the last few months. In March, an Alaska Airlines flight had a door plug fall off mid-flight from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, Calif., while 177 passengers and crew members were aboard.
"The suction was so strong and I was hanging on for dear life,” one passenger aboard told the BBC at the time. “Both my shoes ended up getting sucked out—I had my shoe on pretty tight too.”
Alaska Airlines later apologized for the issue—which was caused by an oversight in inspection of the Boeing aircraft.
“I'm so incredibly grateful to the crew who responded with extraordinary professionalism and returned the flight and all aboard safely to Portland," CEO Ben Minicucci said in a statement. “I sincerely apologize to everyone on board the flight for what you experienced.”
