Most Violent Scenes in Movies

[mrtr33]

I was wondering if anyone had a memorable violent scene from a movie. I'm not talking so much blood and gore from a horror flick, as an action - fighting kind of scene.

I'm thinking of:
James Gandolfini and Patricia Arquette in True Romance
Charlton Heston's chariot race scene in Ben-Hur
Russel Crowe vs. the centurions and tigers in Gladiator

Well, that should be good to get started.

Al Pacino's final shootout in Scarface
The lobby shootout from The Matrix (though that's pretty stylized)
Many scenes from Flags of our Fathers (especially the "Bonzai" cave scene...you know what I'm talking about)
Mel Gibson going apeshit with his tomahawk in The Patriot

Just a few that come to mind.

Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen). cutting off the cops ear and dowsing him in gasoline in Reservoir Dogs.

Does anime count? The original animated release of "Fist of the North Star" was crazy. When certain "masters" would hit people their bodies or body parts would sell up until they exploded with blood and gore everywhere. No the most fluid movie but pretty cool on the violent meter. IMO.

My first thought was the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.

the second scene in the new 007 movie when they are jumping and swinging from everything in site.

My first thought was the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.

that was BRUTAL

All the more horrifying because apparently, it's fairly accurate historically. (wans't there my self)

+1

Also, in We Were Soldiers after the miscalled napalm drop. The photographer grabs a guy by the ankles and his skin slides off. I cringe every time no matter how much I try to prepare myself mentally.

I am with you on this one Ash…One of my all time favorite movies too. But the craziest thing about this scene is that you don’t even get to see the ear actually being cut off…The camera pans away and lets you think of what it may have been like to see it. All we get to see is the aftermath. But this scene gets my vote as most violent scene. Hands down…

Everything in 300.
Godfather Part 1 where Sonny gets shot up and when the baby is being baptized.
The Departed - Raid scene and ending scene. (don't want anyone to get spoiled who hasn't seen it)

To me, the most horrifying scene yet is at the end of Saving Private Ryan. When the Jewish American soldier is struggling with a Nazi soldier, and the Nazi overpowers him, as he pleads for his life. The Nazi slowly but surely pushes a dagger into his heart, looking him right in the eyes muttering something as he kills him. I can hardly watch that scene again, the sheer inhumanity of such cold-blooded gleeful killing really makes me sick.
