Most violent movie ever made?

[Private Joker]

Braindead (Dead Alive) is probably the bloodiest movie I have ever seen in my life.  There can't be anything more violent; right?  RIGHT?

[Future Blob]

 I suppose you could be nitpicky and say there's a diffirence between a bloody movie and a violent movie. A movie can be one without being the other. Is that a valid argument?

[BlackAngel]

I've got a couple of movies that come to mine:

Desporado (with one of the biggest gun fights, it has to be bloody)
RoboCop
Terminator 1&2
Every slasher and military movie known to man (hey you have to be spicific.)

[J.R.]

There are underground, borderline illegal tapes with uber-gory staged scenes mixed with actual crime scene and suicide/murder footage that could qualify as goriest ever. Isn't it great to hear the reaction of someone who's just seen Dead Alive? "It's so gory!"

Try the German film called Premutos, it definitely gives brain dead a challenge concerning gore content in buckets. Something close to a 138 deaths are shown in the film, mostly zombie related gore. The US title is lord of the dead but it's not released here yet.

[Jay O'Connor]

Awhile back I saw a very low budget, independent film (can't remember the title) about a lady who tracks down a serial killer and blackmails him into teaching her how to be a serial killer.

The movie itself wasn't that bad, but the intro credits were pretty extreme

Hard Boiled-People die viciously and there is a rediculously high body count
American History X-Brutal
Saving Private Ryan-Nuff said
The Street Fighter-Some of the grossest stuff I've ever seen

[Lee]

Here's Some More:

Terror Firmer-Do I need to explain?

Scanners-Exploding head scene!

Hannibal-Plenty of gore compared to alot of mainstream movies.

Bullet In The Head-Disturbing violence.

[Frannie]

what about ricky oh, or starship troopers?  granted a lot of the "troopers" violence is geared towards bugs.

I don't know about most violent EVER, but these movies have some disturbing moments of violence (as opposed to being simply gory, there is a difference)

Dirty Harry
Straw Dogs
I Spit on Your Grave
Death Wish II
Deep Cover
Romeo is Bleeding

[J.R.]

Saving Private Ryan is not that gory. Whenever a mainstream film with gore comes out everyone makes a big deal about how gruesome it is, then I see it and it's not that bad. Blade 2, Private Ryan, whatever. Even in super-bloody films like Dead Alive, I think there could be more. Maybe I'm sick, I don't know.

[Erik J]

What about Reservoir Dogs? That has to be right up there as one of the most violent films out there.

 One of the most disturbing moments of violence in a movie that I've seen was in the film Shot Through The Heart, about the war in Bosnia. A young girl goes out to sit on the steps and wait for her mother and she's shot in the head by a sniper.

[Neville]

That depends on your definition of violence, Private Joker. If you mean gore, "Cannibal holocaust" or similar stuff is almost unbeatable in this field.

If you mean unnecesary and "funny" violence, check "Starship troopers" or "From dusk till dawn".

If you mean violent and disturbing scenes, check "Reservoir dogs", "The wild bunch", "Straw dogs", "A bullet in the head" or "Robocop".

[J.R.]

There is a very disturbing scene in Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer in which Henry and a pal watch a tape they made of them torturing and killing a family. I often find that when a film shows violence in a realistic and honest manner it is much more disturbing than when it's stylized or overly gory. That's pobably why we won't ever see a vivid account on celluloid of the depravity of people like Dahmer or Gacy, it would be grotesque. Have you ever seen old footage from Vietnam or the holocaust? Seeing the kind of atrocities people will commit against each other in real life is quite an eye-opener.
