For some reason, I find this distasteful, revolting, and just discomforting. This used to be a popular movie for demonstrating laserdiscs and projection TV. I would have to leave the room or walk out of the store if this scene came up. I’m surprised, Jaime Lee Curtis looked fantastic in that scene. I couldn’t watch _Human Centipede 2_. I had to leave the room. The first movie was done relatively tastefully despite the disgusting concept… The sequel outdid themselves with the gross factor. The naked wrestling match in _Borat_ made me cringe and cover my eyes in the theater. ---

You’ll want to shut off Human Centipede 3. Mostly because it’s really terrible more than gross. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > Not for me personally… I was laughing my ass off. But I remember several people getting up and walking out of the theater at that point. I think the liver donor scene was actually more disgusting than the projectile vomiting. Same for me. I think it has something vaguely to do with justice and intentions–the liver scene was abominable for those reasons, to me. OP: Hell Raiser, I think III but maybe it was II. I can’t even recall the scene properly anymore because I’ve forced it out of my head. Maybe something to do with someone getting peeled early in the movie? Anyway, there is only one instance where gross cinema has made me nauseous and this was it. This was over 20 years ago and I am vaguely interested in revisiting the movies with a more mature perspective, but this non-memory keeps me away. ---

mine was a rather graphic C-section birth scene (it was at an car accident site or something) in the first or second season of ER before Nbc told then to knock it off on the goriness … I was fascinated because I was delivered by a C-section and I had never seen one and 2 mom said it was pretty much close to real life as they could get … Needless to say I watched the series until Anthony Edwards left … ---

I think the scene where one of the astronauts ralphed in zero G in _Apollo 13_ very nearly made me vomit as well. ---

The rape scene in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo turned a lot of stomachs because of its realism. From IMDB: > [@](#): > > Most of the bruising, seen on Rooney Mara’s body when she takes a shower, is real. The physicality of shooting the rape scene the day before, resulted in countless bruises on her wrists, neck, and torso. One of the Make-up Artists was even fooled into thinking that Rooney’s make-up had already been applied. > > Yorick van Wageningen was so disturbed after shooting the rape scene with Rooney Mara, that he spent a whole day locked in his hotel room, crying. ---

I would have to leave the room or walk out of the store if this scene came up. It is a distasteful scene because of his outright manipulation of her; on the other hand, Jamie Lee is at the peak of her physical attractiveness in that movie–so, um, mixed feelings. ---

That scene in “Un Chien Andalou” was done with a cow eyeball. It’s still really freaky to watch. ---

Mr. Creosote was bad for me when I first saw it in my youth. Not counting various videos on LiveLeak (and its predecessors Ogrish and Rotten), the only other film that surpassed it was the interview scene in _Meet The Feebles_, a Muppet Show parody by Peter Jackson (yeah, that Peter Jackson) A gossip reporter (a housefly) is interviewing the show’s star (a rabbit), while sitting on, eating, and commenting on the flavors of, a pile of the star’s shit. None of them have made me feel as close to losing my lunch as reading _Guts_, though. ---

An entire arena full of people (the old Spectrum in Philadelphia) cringing at the same time. I am shuddering right now just thinking about it. One of my sisters “ran away from home” to see him in Vancouver and when she got back mentioned getting too high and seeing this weird black and white movie with eyeballs getting slit open.😛 My own personal most physically revolting thing I’ve seen on film was probably in the uncensored version of “Man Bites Dog”. A kid basically gets chased down and killed, but luckily most of the scene is in blackness, so we’re spared the visuals, but manoman the screams that kid made sure didn’t sound like acting. I can take a lot of heavy shit (which this film already has, _in spades_), but that scene drew a line with me. ---

> [@Annoying\_Buzz](#): > > None of them have made me feel as close to losing my lunch as reading _Guts_, though. Oh man, that one is a bitch and a half. Though it’s a passage in a book, and I had movies/shows in mind when I made this thread, you do “see” it in your mind’s eye, so I guess literature can count. ---

Too many to choose from, so I’ll just note the first really disgusting scene I saw. Shelley Duvall graphically vomiting in _Brewster McCloud_ and then kissing Bud Cort. ---

> [@bmoak](#): > > I’m surprised no one posted the needles-in-the-eye scene from Audition. I’m surprised no one posted the guy eating vomit out of a bowl scene in Audition :eek: I’ve watched a lot of horror and otherwise weird stuff and nothing really gets to me like vomit scenes. One that stands out because it was unexpected, realistic and shot extremely close up is the opening scene in _The Reader._. Outstanding film which I will probably never watch again. As for violence, I don’t think anyone mentioned the bottle to the face scene in Pan’s Labyrinth yet (although it’s been mentioned in other threads so I know many of us have seen it)? I never, ever want to see that again. ---
