Best gross-out scenes in fictional film?

[Orrex]

That is, let's skip all of those tired jokes about "Bush in Farenheit 911" and the like and instead stick with purely fictional films.


For me, the grossest scene, and the one that still disturbs me the most even after almost a quarter of a century, is Geena Davis giving birth to the Brundle-larva in her nightmare sequence. Horrified me when I first saw it in '86 and still bothers me to this day. Yikes and double-yikes!


Yours?

1. I don't know about "best," but in Pulp Fiction, in the car when the gun went off.

I can't stand it and I never wanna see that movie again. But everybody else I know loves that film.

[rrneck]

2. Jeff Goldblum

explaining insect digestion in The Fly using a donut and - other materials. I didn't eat banana pudding for a year.

[MiddleFingerMom]

3. Gross, yet EXTREMELY funny and (I think intentionally) poorly shot...

.
...the scene in "Stand By Me" where Lardass gets his revenge on
the townsfolk during the blueberry pie-eating contest at the county
fair. Hilarious.
.
Similar, but grosser and somewhat more disturbing, the cherry-pit
scene in "Witches of Eastwick".
.
.
As to the earlier post about "Pulp Fiction":
.
Knowing a LEETLE bit about gun safety and the ignoramuses who
ignorantly display their ignance (and Arizona just discarding
their requirement for a required course -- including gun safety
training -- as a prerequisite for a concealed-carry permit) I
happen to LOVE that scene in Pulp Fiction where John Travolta,
as a "professional", is committing so many egregious safety
violations when that gun "just goes off".
.
I think it should be used in safety training itself.

15. HAAA! The Lardass scene was the first I thought of, too.

It cracks me up how poorly shot it is -- and I agree, I think it's intentional too. The kids can hardly keep from laughing.

4. The dinner scene in "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life."

"It's just a little mint."

[Cid_B]

5. In the first two seconds of thought...

I am thinking about when the dude slices the achilles tendons and then the guy tries to run in Hostel. Nasty....

[JCMach1]

6. The Cook, The Thief, the Wife and Her Lover...

just one word: scat

Of course, the cannibalism might put you off too.

That is all.

[charlie and algernon]

10. And the scene in Pet Semetary

where the kid slices the old man's tendon... :scared:

[Dr Morbius]

7. The head exploding in Scanners.

It was the first time anyone had created such an effect, and it was, um, very effective!

Honorable mention must be given to the Alien that popped out of John Hurt's stomach. It's an iconic gross-out scene, and we may be sure no one who saw Alien in the theaters was unaffected.

[Stuart G]

12. You are correct, that alien coming out of that stomach

was a moment in film, that I will never forget.
I heard that the actors did not know what was coming, so it was a surprise to them too. They knew something was going to happen, but not what. As the Dr. says..
"very effective"

[jonnyblitz]

8. when Divine the drag queen eats poodle shit at the end of

"Pink Flamingos". She even smiles to show it smeared on her teeth. :puke:

Movies with poop such as this and, another example, Pasolini's "Salo: one hundred days of Sodom" always gross me out badly.

[Duer 157099]

32. I also vote for the Pink Flamingos dog shit scene

Hard to beat that one, especially after knowing for sure that it was real.

[amyrose2712]

34. Same movie but , the singing assh*le is what gets me.

Bababa ohh maumau...:scared: :scared:

[nomorenomore08]

9. The unsimulated vomit-eating in "Audition."

That movie has any number of fucked-up scenes, to be sure, but at least the foot-sawing, branding, etc., aren't REAL.

[midnight armadillo]

26. oh my

from wikipedia: "notable horror directors including John Landis and Rob Zombie found the film very difficult to watch, given its grisly content"

I think I will have to pass on that one...

[alphafemale]

28. Yeah. That one's pretty brutal.

by the time what happens to the guy...well happens. You really care about him. It's not like most horror movies where it's more like cartoon violence and the victim is only on screen about 2 minutes before they die.

[bif]

11. "Nick & Norah's Endless Playlist"

When the girl picks out her gum from the toilet she just puked in and puts it in her mouth. That's pretty sickening.

[Blue-Jay]

13. Every bit of Dead Alive.

Peter Jackson's best work.

[Swede]

18. That's the one all right.

Grosso.

[Blue-Jay]

19. I nearly tossed up some nachos watching that one night.

Good times, good times...

[Forkboy]

21. I kick ass for the LORD!

Tremendously entertaining flick. Oh, and the bloodiest ending ever! :)

[kayakjohnny]

14. Andy Wahol's Frankenstein

Many scenes.

Pretty gory.

Some of them are on Youtube.

I saw it alone at midnight in Tampa when it first came out.

In 3-D.

So the guts and things came right at me.

[TZ]

16. The cherry pits in Witches of Eastwick.

I really liked the movie but I can't watch that scene.

[peacefreak]

27. Oh yeah.

When that big silver bowl of cherries comes out, it's time to start covering my eyes!

[OhioChick]

17. Anything would qualify from the "Saw" movies. n/t

[LynneSin]

20. Without a doubt - 'the Dirtiest Bathroom in Scotland' scene from Trainspotting

followed closely behind by when that guy not only woke up in his excrement but when he went to hid the evidence managed to fling his poop all over his girlfriend and her family.

[MiddleFingerMom]

30. TRUE DAT!!! But...

.
...both scenes were also SO hilarious that I ended up
doing this: eww-eww-eww-eww-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!
.
.
Poor Spud. Possibly the most lovable loser in film history.
.

[Forkboy]

22. The one that gets me is in the nuclear war movie Threads.

It's only about 2 seconds, but it's close up of a small piece of glass being removed from a what looks like a baby. Compared to all the full on gore fests I've seen it may seem like nothing, but it gives me the willies every time.

[rockymountaindem]

29. That whole movie was a real grind on the soul

It took me a second viewing to get the full impact, but I don't have a lot of desire to watch it again. I saw it on a recommendation from here on DU which, now that I think of it, may have come from you.

[mitchum]

23. Scat in Salo

[BoWanZi]

24. The intro to Ghost Ship (terrible movie) and the brain eating scene in the Hannibal movie

The scene in Ghost Ship where the anchor drops and the guy wire is attached to it and slices everyone who is dancing.

[MiddleFingerMom]

31. I read "Hannibal" long before I saw the movie...

.
...and the brain-eating scene in the book actually caused some trouble
with my appetite for a few days.***
.
By the time I saw the movie, it was almost like a parody of the book for
me... and had no iota of the power of that written word. Kinda funny, in
fact.

25. John Carpenter's The Thing

Pick a scene, really, any of 'em.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. John Hurt in "Alien." Enough said.

That scene still bothers me. x(

[seabeyond]

35. d*mn, there are lots of movies out there i havent seen and seems to be the grossest scene

type movies, lol

i like my selectiveness

[sarge43]

36. Just about every other scene in Angel Heart. n/t
