Ichi the Killer

I recently got this on DVD and it was amazingly violent throughout. There are some OTT gore scenes which are just funny, but some scenes like where the main guy saws his own tongue off and the torture scenes are just unpleasant. A near perfect movie.

I'd say for out-and-out bang-bang violence, you can't beat "Hard Boiled" (tho' "The Killer" and "A Bullet in the Head" run it close).  It starts with a gun battle, finishes with a gun battle and most of the in-between consists of gun battles.  Plus "The Wild Bunch", which begins with the kind of shoot-out  most Westerns ended with, and finishes with a bloodbath reminiscent of WW1.

For the culture of violence, I nominate "Goodfellas" and "Casino", both because of the Joe Pesci characters - you never know what will set him off, or when, or why.

I've read in The Guinness Book Of World Records that the most violent film of all time was "Red Dawn".  

Keep in mind that I read that several years ago (early 1990's) and it's more than likely been topped by another newer film.

Do any of you also remember reading that in the Guinness Book Of World Records?


As for my opinion.....without a doubt.....

"DEAD ALIVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!

(A.K.A. BRAINDEAD)

Although I like Red Dawn I don't see how it could be anywhere near the tops for violence

half of the movie they just sit around crying

And how can we forget about FUNNY GAMES, which is not tremendously graphic, but is one of the most psychologically violent movies I have seen.

I also purchased BATTLE ROYALE recently, which is violent as well as being surprisingly good (two BIG thumbs up from me).

And how can we forget the MEN BEHIND THE SUN movies from Korea? Talk about some disturbing torture scenes. These movies contain particularly nasty scenes of disembowelment, skin removal and other things that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end.

Some of the movies mentioned in this forum are extremely violent, but the violence is too cartoonish to be disturbing. DEAD ALIVE and EVIL DEAD are certainly non-stop splatter-fests, but the movies are more comical than they are disturbing.

The combination of psychologically disturbing violence and physical violence is what really gets to you.

By what record??? Because Godfather, Taxi Driver, Dawn of the Dead, Evil Dead, Hollween, Bonnie and Clyde, The Wild Bunch to name a few are far more violent then "Red Dawn"... Also Red Dawn was one of the first PG-13 movies...

As for RED DAWN, are you sure they are talikng about the one with Patrick Swayze? There may be another movie (possibly, a foreign film) with the same titles.

My film class thinks that Amores Perros  is one of the most violent movies we've watched.  I guess the dog fights were tooo much.

Saw "Red Dawn" ages ago, and didn't found it really violent. My personal vote would be for "The wild bunch", not only for the body count, but because many of the deaths are also psicologically violent, such as the people at the demonstration that are caught in middle fire at the beginning or the children soldiers that take part in the final battle. Not to mention one of the main characters having its throat cut. Ew!

As for Red Dawn I think it got that distinction for the number of violent acts in the movie or something like that. Yeah it's PG-13 but it also set a body count record when it was released(but was blown to smithereens by Hard Boiled).

As for most violent movie:
Just about anything with Beat Takeshi
Bullet In The Head
American History X
Eastern Condors
Pedicab Driver has some brutal scenes in it

I consider DEAD ALIVE and the EVIL DEAD flicks to be more gory than violent.  I  agree with Burgomaster.

The all-time champ will probably always be THE WILD BUNCH for me,   BONNIE AND CLYDE and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD were also important in their portrayals of violence.  

The opening sequence of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN deserves a mention as well.  

In terms of pure nihilism, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST wins the title, though SALO is a close second.

I found Indian Jones & the Temple of Doom to be more violent than Red Dawn, I think it was the reason PG-13 was invented, because, um, shoot, what's the director's name, couldn't have an "R" movie, so the MPAA gave it a PG.

From Dusk to Dawn was also pretty violent, especially after they crossed the border.

Unforgiven, while not out of the ordinary violent, did strip away any glamor or humor in violence.  A Bridge to Far has a lot of violence in it, as befitting a movie about a WWII battle.

Nobody here mentioned "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" . . .
For sheer body-count, I don't see anyone else's posting here matching this film . . .
In any case, I walked out of "The Valachi Papers" (1975?), with Charles Bronson, as the single most pointlessly violent film I'd ever seen.
Yikes!

A year ago my answer would be Bad Taste and perhaps Braindead (Dead Alive). Now I have seen Chinese Torture Chamber (thanks goodness some parts were funny) and especially I Spit On Your Grave, and I have to reevaluate the Peter Jackson's masterpieces - they seem almost peaceful and humanistic in comparison...
