There are a few really horrible scenes in this film which stuck with me since I last saw the film about 10 years ago until I watched it again today.. The scene where Nicky stabs the man in the neck with a pen, the head in the vice scene and the end where Nicky and his brother are beaten with the baseball bats (I think his brothers beating was much worse than his and to see the lifeless body is horrible).
For me I think some scenes in Django Unchained were awful.. The scene where they set the dogs on one of the slaves and with the Mandingos. -

I haven't seen anything like this. But a couple that I recall approached this.
- In "Sugartime", the bio of Sam Giancana, or more accurately the story of Sam's relationship wiht Phyllis McGuire, we see part of a scene where Sam's henchmen beat a guy viciously wiht a baseball bat while he is tied up.
- In the 1966 filem "Naked Pray," directed, produced and acted in by Cornel Wilde, we see a scene where a white hunter is roasted alive by being bent over a bar over a fire where the bar goes round and round while the guy is roasted.

See, if you can, the "hobbling" scene in Rob Reiner's
Misery
[1990], based upon the Stephen King novel.
Holy Mother of God! To say
Poor James Caan
doesn't begin to say it! I usually can't watch the horror of it, often turning my gaze away, but the sounds of the scene are no better. -

Yeah, that was intense, and based on the true murders and murder scene. Those murders were horrendous and really never solved. I have to say that Jodie Foster's rape scene in The Accused is pretty brutal (my wife can't watch it she just cries when Foster runs screaming out of the bar after being publicly gang-raped while other patrons choose to ignore what they are seeing). On that front, the rape scene with Hillary Swank in Boys Don't Cry is truly brutal but very realistic, based on the tragic true story, without any "Hollywood-dizing" of the event. Peter Saarsgard does a fantastic job as the petty, vicious criminal who brutally raped Brandon Teena and then later murdered her after she reported the rape. (Brandon was born genetically female but lived as a boy and was attracted to girls sexually). All based on the true story as well the police treatment of Brandon Teena was horrible as well, asking her unbelievably crude questions about (among other things) whether or not Teena had had sex with a man before (she had not). That film is courageous, and it pulls no punches in the rape scene, showing how brutal and repulsive a crime it is, and how it is used for power, domination, and cruelty and to degrade the victim. The boys rape and beat Brandon to show Brandon "that he is really a girl."

The beating/stabbing in "A Cry for Help: The Tracy Thurman Story" was so brutal and awful, I can't watch this movie again - EVER. This was on TV - not in a rated-R movie.
Also, in The Sopranos episode "University", Ralph Ciferetto beat a 20 year old pregnant woman to death. It was horrible. I think he must have punched her in the stomach 10 times. Brutal.

It's so funny you bring this up, because I first saw Casino on TV as a teenager and I happened to tune in for this scene and was TOTALLY freaked out by it (even though it was probably censored) to the point where I refused to watch it for several years. I'm not exactly a wimp with movies, I've seen Salo and a bunch of other "extreme" films, but certain things just get to me and I'm not sure why. I remember the scene mentioned in Boys Don't Cry upsetting me a lot, and I had to FF the rape in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as well. I think stuff like that just hits me harder as a woman.
But in general I've been way more disturbed by TV deaths. I cried like a baby when Wallace died on the Wire (not really gory, just sad and upsetting to see a child such a cruel death) and of course Oberon's death on GoT was on another level. Never seen someone's head crushed to smithereens like that before, let alone such a likable character. And I seem to recall Oz had some memorable nastiness as well. Actually HBO is responsible for like 90% of my nightmares lol -

Off the top of my head: Fight Club (where they beat Jared Leto's character), American Psycho (Jared Leto's the victim again -such a beautiful face to disfigure-), Pan's Labirynth (one peasant gets his head bashed in with the back of a pistol), Green Street Hooligans (a guy get his head smashed in a fistfight), Drive (Ryan Gosling beats a guy and then smashes his head on the floor with his foot), ClockWork Orange (I love the rape scene), Reservoir Dogs (a man is being tortured to the sound of 70s music), Untouchables (DeNiro smashes -I love the word- a guy's head with a bat and some guy has his head blown of in an elevator), Kick Ass I and II, Tarantino's films.
Don't misinterpret me, I don't like violence for violence's sake (I hate horror gory films). In my opinion, those are all great films and the violence is justified. And after watching all of them, Casino is very soft.
Also, the violence in most of those films isn't very graphical either, you just see fake red blood (the color of which is far from resembling the actual color of blood btw). I don't know, I guess after all this Marvel movies and other action films where people get hit and they don't bleed, not even a little bit They even got me to believe that you had to hit someone really hard in the face for them to bleed but then I got to see a little bar fight and I realized it was all a lie. And now I'm tired of the ''fakeness'' of it all. If you have to include violence let there be blood.
But, most probably, I'm a minority and I'm sure they won't change their PEGI ratings for me. -

Watched it again right now. Yes, it's brutal. Even though you know it's actors, just acting in front of a camera, laughing between takes even knowing that this still makes you sick in the stomach. Masterful film.
