Since real-world stuff has already been included, I’ll say watching the trainer re-locate Raphael Furcal’s dislocated shoulder live on TV while standing at second base gave me some intense willies. You don’t even realize what you’re seeing, or that his shoulder is in the wrong place, and then _pop_ up and in it goes. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > There’s a curb stomp (except without a curb) scene in The Sopranos, too. Also hard to watch…though I haven’t seen American History X so I don’t know how it compares. You can see it on Youtube. The scene would be more effective without Edward Furlong’s Darth Vader “NOOOOO” acting IMHO. htt p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV1d5RTJD6g The stomp happens at 1:25. ---

Malcolm McDowell getting lid locks put on his eyes in preparation for the Ludavico Treatment. I too have an eye thing. When I was a teenager, I saw a horror movie on cable about an undertaker who enjoyed reconstructing corpses so much that he would turn them into zombies who would go out and kill people in gruesome ways so that he would have interesting cases to work on. One victim is horribly burned in a car wreck but they discover that he is still alive. He is completely burned except for one eye which was spared. One of the zombies disguised as a nurse comes in and explains that they are going to take care of his eye while showing him a syringe with a long needle attached to it. You can figure out the rest. What was the name of that movie so that I can avoid it in the future? Thanks, Rob ---

The film is utter crap but notable in that the filmmakers (perhaps inadvertantly) stumbled on some interesting ideas but were too stupid, untalented, lazy, and/or cheap to develop them. ---

The begining of Spalding Gray’s “Gray’s Anatomy” film has people describing their real life mishaps with their eyes. One woman reaches into a drawer looking for eye drops and comes out with super glue… she realizes too late… I have an issue with people even TALKING about eye injuries. The splintered wood scene in “Zombi”… I can’t watch it. Tearing open someone’s stomach and eating their intestines… Suuureee… no biggie… you go near the eyes and I cower. ---

This reminds me of an old David Letterman skit. He had the “Joe Theismann Pencil Sharpener” with a cutout of Joe and his leg hinged at the handle of the sharpener. ---

In Slumdog Millionaire the blinding of the little boy, only it’s more horror than the pain of it. That’s the one part of the movie I obsessed over later, just imagining the horror of falling asleep sighted and waking up again blind. ---

> [@Push\_You\_Down](#): > > The begining of Spalding Gray’s “Gray’s Anatomy” film has people describing their real life mishaps with their eyes. One woman reaches into a drawer looking for eye drops and comes out with super glue… she realizes too late… I remember reading that this is not all that uncommon. Or at least it’s not as rare as you’d expect. I always wondered how the hell people ended up with eye drops and superglue in the same damn drawer??? That’s like keeping a hammer the medicine cabinet, or keeping Benadryl in the tool box. ---

During the Beijing Olympics, a weightlifter (maybe free weights? I don’t remember) um…lost his rectum. That _pop_ will haunt my nightmares. The footage was from a New Zealand broadcast, and they kept saying “Oh my god, this is terrible” but the guy sounded like Murray from Flight of the Conchords, and I kept laughing and wincing. ---

There is no just god! There’s a world where you can lose your rectum?! Where…does it go…how…what?! No! ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > There is no just god! There’s a world where you can lose your rectum?! Where…does it go…how…what?! No! It’s a prolapsed rectum, but I did some googling and realized that the thing that haunts my nightmares is not the prolapsed rectum. oh no. It’s the elbow that turned inside out. _shudder_ [Here’s an article, with a picture. Also, don’t look at the picture if really horrible, disgusting things bother you.](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1044258/Pictured-The-horrific-moment-Olympic-weightlifter-turns-elbow-front.html) ---

I had a coworker who had gotten superglue in her eye. It was before I started working there, and she was really embarrassed about it, so she didn’t tell me all the details, but our boss teased her about it a couple times. It sounded awful. The one thing I know is that it happened on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve in the ER with superglue in your eye. Awesome. ---

There was a “True Stories of the ER” where this woman went in with something or other and all of the sudden her husband screamed and ran out of the ER. He had used what he thought were eyedrops from her purse, but it was a little bottle of bleach. :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ow-or-really-painful-moments-in-movies-tv-shows-that-got-to-you/496458.md?page=2)
