Скачать или смотреть Eric Flies Off a Cliff in His Wheelchair!

Next up on our list of funny and cringy depictions of wheelchair users that are just too "good" not to share, is another classic scene of a wheelchair user plummeting down a hill. This one is from the 1988 science fiction film Mac and Me. In it, Eric, a young boy who uses a wheelchair befriends an alien, who is stranded on Earth.

Mac and Me was panned as an E.T. ripoff and only has a 7% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film has that “it’s so bad it’s good” appeal. The special effects are super cheesy and there’s a dance sequence in McDonalds that is so bizarre you can’t help but laugh.

But in terms of disability representation, Mac and Me is shockingly good. Eric is played by Jade Calegory, an actual wheelchair user who has Spina Bifida. And the story line doesn’t revolve around his disability — he’s just a cool kid helping an alien evade the authorities.

Mac and Me is available to stream for free on Tubi and Pluto TV.
