THE rape/beating seen? You obviously haven't seen the full version. There are four or five of them. Overall, I loved A Clockwork Orange. I thought it was a great social commentary and character piece, but I have to agree with you crisisall. Those scenes are pretty disturbing.
You're welcome on my boat. God ain't.

Clash of the Titans was one of the most awesomest movies! The acting was so awful. The cinematography was awful. The continuity was awful. I loved it. I own it. I don’t know if anyone else on earth does this or not, but I tend to remember certain phrases from movies that become integrated in my everyday speech. Several of them are from this movie. The world just wouldn’t be the same without Clash of Titans.
hear hear, it's a total classic, and was an integral part of my childhood.
I tend not to be offended by nastiness in films, being disturbed is a different thing and I like a film that upsets me (even if it's not one I'll want to watch again and again)
so for the insulting my intelligence/boredom threshold, there was a james bond film, not sure which one but from about 5 years ago, that I got dragged to the cinema to see and would have walked out of if I'd been on my own. dreadful piece of crap

I would have to say my claim to this thread would be the sex scene in BloodRayne.
What a way to just throw a completely needless scene into a movie. There was no reason for it to be where it was. There was no build-up between the characters, and afterwards, there was no recognition of what happened between them.
This is of course beside the fact that the movie itself was horrible. Unfortunately, when the DVD came out I had forgotten just how horrible it was when I saw it at the theater, so I bought it. It's the one and only time that I can honestly admit that I must have blacked out and mean it. I really forgot...and then I had to waste the $$ buying it.
Needless to say, my wife smacked me when I got home, cause she didn't forget... LoL

Ooo. I never watched Blood Rayne. They're good games and all but nothing about the trailers mde me want to see it. I'm glad now that I didn't.
And speaking of sex scenes, has anyone here watched Team America: World Police? Puppety sex anyone? Puppet sex that involves craping on each other...guhh *shudder*

If you mean a comic book with shitty dialogue, manufactured melodrama, vomit-inducing sentimentality, twenty frames a page and a fucking orange filter, then sure.
No, contrary to popular belief, "comic book" isn't synonymous with "lobotomized".

Two words:
STARSHIP TROOPERS
I'm hard-pressed to pick a single scene. They were all entirely offensive, either to my intelligence or my sense of creativity.
Perhaps the most offensive (or nearly so) scene involves one officer's brain being sucked out of his head by a large bug's spiky tendril. Because, sure, sucking out someone's gray matter through a straw would of course instill you with all of their intelligence and insight...

lol, I remember seeing Starship Troopers. My friends and I enjoyed watching it, somehow, then on the way home, it suddenly hit us and we were like...WTF?
It's been a while since I've seen, and I'm certainly not knocking the film or it's sequals, which I love, but, in the original Evil Dead, the scene of the tree raping the girl. That was pretty brutal.
Outside the genre, I easily give the award to Se7en, when they show the, ah, "tool" used to kill the prostitute. That still gives me the shudders.

I have to say the insinuated murder of children shoulda gotten that dman Episode III an R rating. Everyone in the theater got what happened to the "younglings". A five year old kid in front of me even asked his parents why the kids were killed. That is traumatizing for a small child. PG-13 or not. And I must agree with Stegasaurus on the whole Bloodrayne issue. Not to mention you gotta be a pretty bad filmmaker(cough cough Uwe Boll cough) If you can't even put Michael Madsen in a decent role.

On Star Wars and their offensive scenes, I think the most offensive scene in any Star Wars movie, for me personally, was Luke getting his arm lobbed off by Darth Vader.
Now a note on this, I actually think the Empire Strikes Back was the best Star Wars film and one of the best films ever made, bar none, but as a young boy I was terribly disturbed by that scene.
I can imagine that there might have been something similar for young children watching Episode III, but if it had bee up to me, I think I would have advised them to remove the scene and make the show PG instead of PG-13. I’m opposed to the PG-13 rating.
The only other scene that disturbed me more then that was something I saw in Jaws. Of course Jaws was rated R and I had no business being at that movie. I can vague remember an image of a dead half eaten bloated guy pop out on the screen and I lost it. My mother had to carry me out of that theater screaming. To this very day I have an irrational fear of sharks. Of course, as far as irrational fears go, sharks are probably among the healthier of irrational fears.
Also I’m thinking that I really have to see BloodRayne. If it was as bad as it’s being portrayed.
