I have watched a hell of a lot of movies and shows in my life, many of them containing really gross and gory scenes. But by far, the most disgusting scene I can think of, to the point of really, truly making me feel physically nauseous - was the egg-eating scene in Cool Hand Luke.
What is yours?
I don’t want people to post a list of multiple scenes, I want them to try to pick the single most revolting.
Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. The sex scenes (even the gay sex scenes) were actually pretty tame. The torture scenes were more comical than horrific. But the coprophagia scenes were disgusting.
I don’t recall any Mini Coopers getting pushed over cliffs in either version. Possibly you mean the Lamborghini Miura P400 in the opening sequence of the 1967 version?
I heard an interview NPR with Divine talking about this scene. I got the dry heaves simply by hearing the sentence “so I ate the dog shit.” I have a strong stomach, but zero tolerance for coprophagia.
Had to think about this one. Most gross or gory scenes in movies are ultimately too fake for me to suspend my disbelief. But there is one scene I remembered that was not fake.
At around the 1:30 mark, "a special effects accident caused actress Jean Seberg actually to catch fire in the scene where Joan of Arc is burned. (She [Seberg] sustained only very minor injuries.) "
That it looks worse than it apparently was in no way removes the horror of it. That director Otto Preminger left it in the film gives it an extra edge of distastefulness.
