Pukey Pukey Retch Retch...

Ew. I know it's a bit gross, but why not. For some reason as much blood and guts as I can see in a movie and not flinch, somebody puking always seems to make me flinch more, I'm a little sensitive about stomach related stuff for some reason, so it'd be interesting to see what you guys think.

Okay so in the "He Peed Himself!" topic, Neville posted this:

Well, at least it's not as overused as the puking scene, which seems mandatory these days, specially after a naive character witnesses / performs a violent act.

So I wondered, how many of these can you name? I could give ya a couple...

Obviously there's The Exorcist, which goes without saying...

In Resident Evil, the chick who is slowly becoming a Zombie is sick on the floor at one point.

In Phenomena, Jennifer Conelly makes herself puke to get rid of some poison.

In DOOM, the "arc" - a 'teleporter', transports your cells to mars so fast that it makes a couple of the marines sick.

In Cannibal Holocaust it happens a bunch of times, usually a few times from the audience too.

How many of these can you guys recall, and do these affect you at all, or are they nothing worse than a blood scene?

Best vomit scene: Mr Creosote in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.



Care for a wafer-thin mint?

I personally hate puking scenes as well. Foaming at the mouth is overused as well.


Puking scenes:

Amityville ll: The Possession - And I am not referring to the audiences reaction to this mess of a movie, but to the priest's reaction to his holy water turning to blood.

Deep Rising - Trevor Goddard finally expresses his feelings toward David James Elliot's acting in a sea sickness scene, though brief, which proves you can truly target your upchuck.

Las Vegas (the TV series) - I stopped watching this after they opened a show with a scene where a woman openly vomits into a complimentary bowl of pastry. It is usually a good sign that things are going downhill when a show resorts to cheap tricks.


Well, that's enough for me; before the subject begins to make me sick.

Hostel. Lots of murky brown water hurling out of people's gullets in there.

I'd love to have one of those sick sticks from "Minority Report".
It'd be great fun to use at a party.

Don't forget the famous pie-eating pukefest from Stand By Me. It's definitely one of the best uses of puke in a movie I've ever seen.

C'mon.

It's only wafer thin...

Witches of Eastwick.....this is disgusting

In Bad Taste, one alien puked into a bowl, , then they passed it around and everyone had a drink .. . .

[Capt_Scrummy]

"MirrorMask", when the dark queen vomits up... shadow?

"Jackass 2", when whatshisface drinks horse semen - I'm not sure if he puked after that, but I almost did.

"A Scanner Darkly", a rotoscoped Keanau Reeves spits up on a clinic floor (good movie, by the way).

"Mommy,mommy, daddy puked and Johnny's getting all the big pieces!"....I don't know why I said that, it just reminded me of a joke...   

[RCMerchant]

 GATES of HELL- A girl pukes up her chitlens(intestines). I'm an ex-alki...puking was a way of life,so it don't bug me at all.

[Fausto]

At the beginning of scary movie 2.....although it was a parody of the exorcist, and we already covered that.......

There is a ninja in "Ninja Wars" that uses vomit as a weapon.  He even projectile vomits another ninja out of a tree (after the other ninja ran up it to escape the stream in the first place).  Heck, just go check out the review:
