[Film] Bestest violent assaults in cinema

[Stat Brother]

At work we're having a standard Monday morning conversation, so I wondered what would beat (no pun intended) my offering.



(honourable mention to Stephen Graham in This Is England)

Ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs.

What an odd OP, this is something you actually think about?

 

[shingle]

This has got be the worst/best. I can only watch it once a year max. Savage !!

 

[Barrow Boy]

Just because it is the first violent assault I remember seeing. Put me right off going to borstal!

Watched Goodfellas the other night for the first time in a long, long time and the scene where Henry pistol whips that bloke several times in front of his mates, on a residential street, in broad daylight was pretty savage.

Not necessarily the shot / sequence itself which was OK but just the idea that this guy was so above the law he could just do that knowing there'd be little to no blowback.

I find that stuff scary.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Best use of ultra-violence (and the C-bomb) by an eleven-year-old girl. Hit-Girl

Superb Thread

For me its the ending of there will be blood



or the fight scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Bestest violent assault in cinema? I got hit on the head with a Kia-Ora Orange plastic carton and straw - does that count?

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

When I was still at school, I worked evenings at the Academy Cinema. One of the films they showed was "Soldier Blue". The indian massacre scene from that was horrendously graphic. Not sure if they would show it today.

Romper Stomper - love this scene, where the skinheads get their comeuppance:

Is it Gene Hunt kicking in a Nonce?

Ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs.

A scene legendary for having multiple bloopers. Courtesy of IMDb:

When Mr. Blonde is pouring gasoline on Marvin Nash, Nash's legs are taped to the chair. When the angle changes you can see his legs kicking up in the air. And then they go back to being taped up.

Mr. Blonde opens his barber blade twice.

"Stuck in the Middle With You" was released in April of 1973, not April of 1974 as the radio DJ says.

When Nice Guy Eddie shoots Nash, the muzzle-flashes from the gun and damage to Nash's chest don't appear close enough together.

When Eddie argues with Mr. Orange about the killing of Mr. Blonde, the police officer sitting dead on a chair (who was shot by Eddie a few seconds earlier) can be seen breathing.

And several others.

The only line I've written on the subject would suggest not.

Colleague A (a young'un) was going on about a Marvel/DC film's fight scene he'd seen over the weekend.
Colleague B called CGI bullshit.

I, as the aged P, called them both ****s, sighting Morty and we went from there.
But I didn't get particularly far as it isn't something I think about.


I guess the thread should have been 'best song for a Monday' or something similarly inspirational.
