Top 15 Movie Scenes: That Stuck With
Me (In a negative way)
THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! AND SOME PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC!
My mind is
always connecting things/life situations to movies. It is something I have
always done and will always continue to do. Where this particular list came
from is due to my strange inner workings. Here is the warped Kevin Bacon styled
game that I played in my head which led to this blog post. I got a splinter in
my finger last night. It led me to think of a time when I was playing road
hockey (when I was a small kid.) While playing, a guy I knew took half a broken
hockey stick through his hand (In reality it was probably a three inch
splinter.) However, that happened almost 25 years ago and it has stuck with me
(Pun not intended.) That injury was devastating to witness and it makes me
cringe thinking about it even now. But then I thought some more and the word
splinter made me think of the rat from Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles. Splinter
was a ninja and it got me to thinking of the ninja Storm Shadow from G.I. JOE.
Storm Shadow was on Cobra with a guy named Major Blood. Major Blood wore an eye
patch and that came from a past eye injury. That injury led me to think of the
cop that was stabbed in eye during the movie End of Watch. That injury has stuck
with me and so here is the list of scenes that have stuck with me in a negative
way.
THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! AND SOME PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC!
THESE ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
#15 Cop stabbed in the eye: End of
Watch
I have a
phobia of things touching my eye. So injuries involving the eye are
particularly awful for me. This scene stuck with me because it seemed like a
routine back up call. That is until they find their fellow cop sitting on the
ground with a knife sticking in his eye.
#14 Stifler eats dog crap: American Wedding
Stifler has
been peed on, has drunk semen, and even has kissed a guy. None of that bothered
me as much as him having to eat dog crap in the third movie. Watching him eat
it and then having it stuck in his teeth doesn’t sit well with me.
#13 Captain Spaulding: The Devils Reject/House of a 1000 Corpses
#12 Watching the VHS tape: The Ring
A host of
disturbing and unsettling images await you if you watched the tape in The Ring.
There was something about the strange imagery that stuck with me. It was easy
to think bad things were going to happen after watching this video and that hasn’t
gone away.
#11 Drinking horse semen: Jack Ass 2
I got sick
to my stomach when Party Boy drinks horse semen in the second movie. It still
makes me queasy thinking about it.
#10 Rob Roy’s wife is raped: Rob Roy

#9 Curb stomp: American History X
One of the
most shocking scenes in cinematic history, its brutality is virtually
unrivalled in film.
#8 A handful of blood: Cabin Fever
Imagine finally
getting with the girl of your dreams only to come away with the grossest hand
of gore possible. You knew it was going to happen and even then it was still
sickening.
#7 Hospital scene: The Eye
Not the crappy
Jessica Alba version of The Eye, but the Asian version entitled Gin Gwai. There
is a scene after the woman just has an eye transplant. She is walking around a
hospital with weird sounds and strange images coming from everywhere. It still
freaks me out thinking of it.
# 6 Elijah Price on the stairs:
Unbreakable
Elijah Price
is suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare disease that makes his bones
break easily. He has a scene where he hurries down some subway stairs. I only
have a face of horror when looking back on that scene.
#5 Paul Krendler eats his own brain: Hannibal
Not sure why
this one stuck with me so much. It is just the exposed brain and the thought of
eating it that gives me the willies.
#4 Mutant rape: The Hills Have Eyes
Over the
top? Check. Disturbing? Check. Scarred for life? Check. This scene was
disgusting and although it is mostly implied, totally unnecessary.
#3 Finger nail fallout: The Fly
Lots of
things stuck with me from The Fly. His metamorphosis where Seth Brundle is
falling apart is the most horrific to watch though.
#2 Semen éclair: Van Wilder
There is a
scene in Van Wilder where they fill chocolate éclairs up with bulldog semen and
then drop them off at a rival fraternity’s house. Long story short, the éclairs
get eaten in the sloppiest of manners. Disgusting and till this day I cannot
look at an éclair without shuddering.
#1 Jesus being whipped: Passion of
the Christ
It is just
painful to sit through as skin is being flayed off his body. People walked out
in droves from the theatre when this was going on. I remember the scene like it
was yesterday and it still haunts me.
So that is my list of scenes that have stuck with me. Keep in mind that every rape scene could easily have made the list as they are never easy to watch. Also, personal phobias and experiences weighed in. Do you have a scene that sticks with you in a negative way?
