Qantas flight from Australia to Japan shows R-rated film ‘Daddio’ throughout the flight

Passengers on a recent Qantas flight from Australia to Japan were left stunned after an inappropriate film was shown on all screens due to a technical glitch.

One shocked passenger said there was “no way to turn it off” and was stunned by the racy nudity and lewd “sexts” displayed on each seat’s screen.

Qantas confirmed the incident to news.com.au and said due to technical issues the selection of individual films was not available.

As a result, Qantas said staff asked passengers which movie they would like to watch, which resulted in the movie. Dad (2023) broadcast to everyone on board the flight.

The racy drama stars Dakota Johnson as a young woman returning home to her Manhattan apartment after a trip.

She ends up conversing with her taxi driver, played by Sean Penn, about her affair with a married man, with the driver also revealing more and more details about her life.

The film is rated R for explicit sexual material and graphic nudity, including photos of exposed genitals and sexually explicit text messages.

“Qantas played an inappropriate movie throughout the plane, there was no way to turn it off,” one passenger explained on Reddit.

“So I was on Qantas flight QF59 from Sydney to Haneda… and the in-flight entertainment system was broken.

“After an hour delay, the pilot still decided to take off, but the only option left was for the crew to broadcast a movie on each screen.

“It was impossible to pause, dim or turn off the device. Here’s the thing: 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 the screen without needing headphones.

“It took almost an hour before we switched to a more child-friendly film, but it was very uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and children on board.

“I have attached some photos from the scenes (sexting only, no nudity).

“How is this acceptable for a major airline? Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Qantas confirmed that when it became clear the film was not suitable for all ages, the team attempted to repair the screens for customers who did not want to watch it.

However, when they realized this was not possible, the film was made into a children’s film.

“The film was clearly not suitable for broadcast throughout the flight and we sincerely apologize to customers for this experience,” a Qantas spokesperson told news.com.au.

“All screens were replaced with a family film for the remainder of the flight, which is our usual practice for the rare cases where individual selection of a film is not possible.

“We are looking at how the film was selected.”
