Most violent movie ever made?

[Flangepart]

Ah, good point. Whole planetary populations. Does that deserve it's own heading? And, would that come under a heading of Implied death, vs. actual on screen fatatalites? How many other planets, beside Krypton, got blowed up good?

[Andrew]

Earth has been blowed up any number of times, so I'm trying to think of other planets, that likely had larger populations, being destroyed in movies.

They did a fine job of destroying much of the Milky Way Galaxy in "Gunbuster" (a short anime series).
This Island Earth - Metaluna
Flash Gordon - apparently Ming enjoys destroying planets
LEXX - The Brunnen-G homeworld was probably heavily populated
Battlefield Earth - Psychlo
Quatermass and the Pit - Mars was once infested with beasties
Forbidden Planet - the Krell killed off by their own ids.
Final Fantasy The Spirits Within - the alien's home

We have a winnah!!!!



They destroyed an entire universe..

[J.R.]

What about The Neverending Story? Fantasia is blown into tiny gray pieces. If only Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide books were adapted, in the final installment Earth is destroyed not only as we know it, but in every alternate reality, which probably works out to gigabillions of people.

Cannibal Holocaust.  Cannibalism, live animal killings, brutal rapes,  an extremey disturbing abortion scene.  I was finally shocked by a movie.  I have dead alive, Cannibal Holocaust blows it away, just because it seems so real.  If anyone else has seen this, I would like to know what you think.  Just a little advice, this movie is not for people with weak stomachs, I actually turned away during certain scenes.  Before say I am over reacting, please see it for yourself.

Die Hard series

2 fairly recent French horror movies called "Inside" & "Martyrs" are incredibly violent. Inside in particular is so in your face with the almost unbearable level of depravity and violence, it  would never in a million years get made here in the states. The 1st half of Martyrs is almost as rough.

I think martyrs is far worse than inside. There is lots of blood in inside but the brutality in martyrs is unlike anything I have seen.  What that woman goes through in the second half of the movie made me squirm in my seat. It was brutal.

Apocalypto- the huge headless body-count says it all

[joejoeherron]

for pure violence without gore, i'd go with The Wild Bunch or maybe the AIP release of Dillinger with Warren Oats.

With gore mixed in I like the first Robocop or the original Dawn or even Day of the Dead.

Newer movies like The Killer or Hard Boiled seem to take it up a notch.

Currently... My vote for most bloody/violent is The Machine Girl

Irreversible starts with a guy getting his head literally smashed to a pulp with a fire extinguisher in one long five-minute shot. Later, Monica Bellucci gets anally raped in a pedestrian tunnel for about ten minutes. Brutal.
