counting down our picks for the top 10
most brutal scenes in r-rated movies
come on over we got us a fight going on
it's a good bit of fun
for this list we're looking at the most
intense and graphic scenes from movies
with r ratings however we won't be
including horror movies as that just
wouldn't be fair since some of these
scenes arrive at crucial moments here is
your spoiler alert do you have to look
away during any of these scenes let us
know in the comments
number 10 tongue cutting old boy old boy
is a movie all about desperation
after spending 15 years imprisoned in a
hotel room businessman odesu will go to
any lengths possible to locate his
daughter and find out who's responsible
for his captivity not to mention his
release
[Applause]
upon learning some horrifying news he
dare not speak desu hacks his tongue
completely off as soon as the bloodied
desu reaches for a pair of scissors and
sticks his tongue out it's clear there's
no going back
while we don't see the moment of impact
the sound effects and choi mean six
brilliant portrayal of anguish are more
than enough to fill in the gaps
number nine soap beating full metal
jacket full metal jacket's depiction of
military life is brutal enough to give
anyone second thoughts about enlisting
are you little maggots you make me want
to vomit
this is especially true during the basic
training scenes where the new recruits
are subject to the tyrannical rule of
gunnery sergeant hartman why did you
hide a jelly donut in your foot locker
private pile sir because i was hungry
sir because you were hungry when rule
violations by private leonard lawrence
cruelly nicknamed gomer pyle get the
rest of the recruits in trouble they
treat him to a blanket party this
involves wrapping bars of soap and
towels and holding lawrence down while
they strike him
lawrence is literally given a rude
awakening being beaten and gagged with
his muffled screams and thrashing
movements showing just how traumatized
he is
and anyone who's seen full metal jacket
knows that the trauma does not end there
number eight sloth seven david fincher
seven quickly establishes a bleak and
brutal world that only gets dimmer as
the film goes on this was found behind
the same refrigerator
written in greece
there are seven deadly sands captain
while investigating a string of gruesome
murders based on the seven deadly sins
detectives william somerset and david
mills see things not suitable for human
eyes at the crime scene for the victim
meant to represent sloth the detectives
and swat team encounter a man who has
been emaciated beyond recognition get
your people out of here now go no one
touches anything
some kind of freaking wax sculpture or
something he appears dead the key word
being appears the man suddenly coughs
and starts writhing in agony terrifying
everyone in the scene and the audience
reportedly the actors playing the swat
officers didn't know the character was
still alive so their shocked reactions
are genuine
number seven squeal like a pig
deliverance what the hell you think
you're doing
heading down river the tranquility of
nature butts heads with the cruelty of
humankind in john borman's deliverance
and few scenes are as hard to watch as
this one this river don't go the entry
you done taking the wrong turn when ed
and bobby one pair of atlanta
businessmen on a canoe trip down a
georgia river encounter a couple of
mountain men it turns into a scene of
unimaginable brutality now let's you
just drop them pants
drop
just take them right off
i mean what's this all about the
normally relaxing sounds of nature are
anything but when juxtaposed with such a
horrifying act and the acting from john
voigt and ned beatty makes it all the
more painfully real
[Music]
[Applause]
here's a scene that will make you want
to simultaneously close your eyes and
cover your ears
number six execution scene the green
mile eduard delaqua
you've been condemned to die by a jury
of your peers
sentence imposed by a judge in good
standing in this state
you have anything to say before
sentences carried out while the
heart-wrenchingly wrongful execution at
the end of the film is what most of us
think about when we think of the green
mile it's a botched one about midway
through that really horrifies us beyond
belief when the bitter and spiteful
corrections officer percy is set to
oversee the mild-mannered dell's
execution he deliberately neglects to
dampen the sponge that's meant to
conduct the electricity to dell's head
as a result dell's entire body is
ravaged beyond belief making for a drawn
out and needlessly painful death
as if we needed another reason to hate
percy this scene is shocking in more
ways than one i didn't know the sponge
is supposed to be wet
how many years you spend pissing on a
toilet seat before someone told you to
put it up number five arm amputation
127 hours it's one thing to hear about
someone cutting off their arm but it's
another thing to see it recreated
in this incredible true survival story
hiker aaron ralston spends five full
days with his arm pinned to a boulder at
the bottom of a canyon 150 milliliters
of water left
what should keep me alive till
tomorrow night realizing there's no one
coming to rescue him aaron knows the
only way out is with a multi-purpose
tool and that it won't be an easy
operation
director danny boyle knows how to focus
on the moment in a way that makes us
feel like we're stuck right down there
with aaron if there's one lesson to take
away from this film it's to always tell
someone where you're going hiking
number four face smashing pan's
labyrinth guillermo del toro's pan's
labyrinth is like if alice in wonderland
were less about whimsy and more about
horror both real and fantastical and
there are few movie monsters who are
quite as terrifying as captain vidal
[Music]
played by sergi lopez vidal is the
epitome of psychopathic going to any
lengths he deems necessary to suss out
rebels one supposed rebel is captured
and has his face mercilessly beaten in
by bedell who performs this with
chilling detachment
and vidal's desire for bloodshed doesn't
stop there watching lopez's masterful
work in the scene it's clear that vidal
is not someone to be reasoned with but
someone to avoid at any cost
mandingo fight django unchained
some movies try to downplay the horrors
of the american slave trade but not
quentin tarantino's jango unchained get
back on top now turn around there you go
there you go recently freed django and
bounty hunter dr king schultz find
themselves in the gentlemen's club of
brutal slave master calvin candy here
they see slaves being forced to engage
in mandingo fights where only the winner
leaves alive
tarantino keeps us somewhat distanced
from the brutality at first but the
bloodshed and desperation eventually
become too great to ignore
what i told you
[Applause]
we're not sure what's more shocking here
the violence or that anyone could be so
cruel as to ever let this happen
hand or foot city of god
city of god an unflinching portrait of
violence and crime in brazil routinely

after vicious crime boss lil zay hears
his name mentioned he holds two
terrified youngsters at gunpoint asking
if they'd rather be shot in the hand or
foot he then forces a member of his gang
steak with fries to choose one to
execute the cinematography including the
shaky camera makes this moment and many
others disturbingly immersive and the
actors are heartbreakingly effective in
portraying a situation no one should

number one curb stomp american history x
when we think about scenes that are
literally painful to watch this is the
first one that comes to mind after his
brother danny informs him of a black man
trying to break into his truck neo-nazi
derrick retrieves a gun and starts
firing in my mind i imagine what would
have happened if i hadn't gone to that
room and told him
but it takes more than bullets for
derrick to express his unrelenting
hatred for those he sees as different
when one of the men is left wounded on
the sidewalk derek pulls him to the curb
and demands he put his mouth on it
before delivering a devastating final
blow the very sound of the teeth
scraping the surface is enough to make
us clutch our mouths in horror put it on
the card right now
