Scenes from movies where you go "oooh I Hope they can't feel that!"

[daveblackeye15]

There are times when we see a movie that contains a scene that looks so painful you hope that the person that it's happening to can't feel it. My example is in "Dead Alive" when "Lionel's Uncle" has the "Priest Zombie" in a head lock and says "You've got a nasty cross bite there!" and he grabs some pliers and begins pulling the zombies teeth out. OUCH! It didn't bother me that much but when I showed the movie to my friend he said "Geez David I really hope he can't feel that. Sereiously I HOPE he can't feel that because that would hurt so much!" And normaly he doesn't do random bursts like that. What has made you go "OWCH! I hope he/she/they/it can't feel that!"?

Any of the squirmy parts from The Dentist.  Spooky stuff.

I used to. I used to give out a gasp or an OWWCH at every scene in which a male character takes it in the stones. But thanks to Americas Funniest Home Videos and every teen comedy ever made I have become desensitized to Ball-related violence. Carrie II: The Rage....didn't phase me.

However, the pulling teeth thing still makes me cringe. I sill pull back when someone gets hammered or shot on the top of their feet. That just looks SO friggin' painful.

The scene in The Devil's Backbone where the kid falls and dislocates his ankle makes me wince every time.  It's a split-second shot and it's nothing particularly horrible compared to some of the stuff that befalls other characters in the film, but it looks all kinds of painful.

[Neon Noodle]

the scene in Serpent and The Rainbow when bill pullman gets the nail thru his scrote is pretty difficult to watch - but the main one is the fingernail yanking scene in Buried Alive. Nasty stuff.

Mine tend to be the more real life type things. Like a stunt man falling out of a truck.  Sometimes it looks like it didn't go just right and you know they hit harder than they wanted to.  You are sure they got a good black mark.

As for fake violence it is always the noise that gets me.  No matter how stupid and fake it looks.  The getting hit in the head with a cast iron pan scene from throw mamma from the train always makes me shiver.

[Fluffy CatFood]

Any scene that involves people getting an injection, it always makes me cringe, not surprisingly I'm afraid of Needles

[Evil Matt]

If you can watch the scene where Kathy Bates takes the sledgehammer to James Caan's foot in "Misery" without flinching, you're tougher than I am.

As Bgrade said, I think things involving real people afect me more. The stuntmen sometimes get hurt and I realize that is real, but when I am watching a movie and something happens to a character, I can usually turn it of in my head just figuring that it's not real. The exception to this is in the movie The Marathon Man in the scene with the teeth drilling..."Is it safe?"
The one stunt scene that comes to mind is from Mad Max in which there is a motorcycle stunt (surprise, there really is) where the bike and rider are sliding and the rider comes off the bike but it is still following him. The bike then clearly comes up and smacks the rider in the head. Obviously not supposed to happen that way but it just looks like it hurt quite a bit from the impact.

Off hand, a couple from a couple of films reviewed at this site.

Deep Rising
When Anthony Heald as Simon Canton jumps off the ship, and I believe gets what they call a compound fracture, and you can see one of the bones in his leg sticking out of his leg, and it was like "Oh, yeah! I didn't need to see that."

Lair of the White Worm
When Amanda Donohoe (Lady Sylvia Marsh) is supposedly giving Chris Pitt (Kevin) the boy scout or scout in the film, his first blowjob, and she rears back and bites him on his penis with her fangs, and it was like "Ooohhh! That's gotta hurt."

And one not from a film reviewed at this site.

Fright Night

When Stephen Geoffreys as Edward "Evil Ed" Thompson attacks Roddy McDowell as Peter Vincent, and accidentally impales himself on that broken table leg. One hopes that the character immediately went into shock, or he'd be screaming his lungs out.

.  .  .  .  Anything to the eyes.

from "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (Cliff Gorman as Sonny Valerio;  Henry Silva as Ray Vargo;  and  John Tormey as Louie):
SV:  "Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Hold it, did you say he contacts you through a f**kin' bird, did I just hear you say that?"
RV:  "What particular species of bird?"
L:  "It's a pidgeon.  Must be carrier pidgeon, or what-not."

[Lee]

Crime Story-During a car chase a cop on a motorcycle gets smacked by a speeding car.
 Anything that invovles teeth or the groin.
Wishmaster-A cop gets his jaw ripped off!
Rosa-Lots here:Jump kick to the throat, two big falls down a flight of stairs, cyrcular saw to the ass!

[Bgrade]

The labotomy from One flew over the Cuckoo Nest

[The Burgomaster]

The most vivid expression of pain that I can remember was not in a movie, but in a book.  In the book MARATHON MAN, the part where the Nazi is drilling the hero's teeth is described so brilliantly that it is excruciating to read.  The scene in the movie didn't even come close.

As for movies, the scene in MISERY where James Cann has his leg sledge-hammered looks pretty painful.

[Neville]

The various torture scenes from "American Psycho" (novel, not movie) are so detailed and machiavelic that I can't read them without freaking out. In movies, the skinning alive scene in "Dagon" (2001) is a winner. I own the film but always skip that part. There's not that much gore, but still...
