I was listening to Preston and Steve the other day (Yes! They're back!) and they had a segment about an article in the new Stuff magazine entitled "Top 25 Ball Clenching Movie Moments." A Ball Clenching Movie Moment is a scene in a movie that would make even the most hardened criminal say "That's just not right." These are moments that, as the title suggest, would make Hitler blush.
Now, anyone that's been on Uber for more than 5 minutes can see that this website (and I mean this in the nicest way possible) is made up of some sick, sick individuals. So I was curious, what do you sick, twisted freaks think is the most "Ball Clenching" movie moment? What makes you step back and say "Now that's just too much!"?
Here are a couple of mine to get the ball rolling:
Misery - "Hobbling" Scene - There are very few words that can describe this scene. Extremely, extremely fucked up comes to mind. For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, Misery is based on a Stephen King novel about a crazed fan (played by Kathy Bates) of an author (played by James Caan). The author gets in an accident, and here comes Kathy to the rescue! She scoops him up and takes him back to her place, where she nurses him back to health while he's writing his new book...kind of. Kathy slowly realizes that once the author gets better, he's going to leave. She then tries to cripple him a number of ways, including pushing him down the stairs. Somehow (I can't remember, I haven't seen the movie in a while) he ends up back in bed, strapped down. Kathy then comes in carrying a wood block. She proceeds to stick the block firmly between his ankles, and leaves again. A minute later, she reenters the room, carrying a sledgehammer. At this point, I was thinking to myself "Hm, I wonder why she...oh...oh god, no." She then hoists the sledgehammer, bringing it across one of his feet. The whole time, the camera doesn't cut away, and the foot flops around like it's filled with yummy Jell-O brand gelatin. She does this on the other foot, too. I don't think my words can express the horror of this scene, so if you haven't seen it, go rent it, if only for this horrible, horrible scene. This movie made me realize just how fucked up Stephen King is.
Requiem for a Dream - Well, basically, this entire movie is pretty disgusting (fucking brilliant, but disgusting) but one scene in particular just got to me. The scene I'm talking about is the scene in the car, with Jared Leto and Keenan Wayans. They are both commenting on how fucked up Jared's arm looks, it being infected from poor care of heroin injection. So then, in what I can only call a flash of brilliance, Jared decides to shoot up in to the infection. This scene is single-handedly responsible for making me never, ever want to do heroin. Well, that and Courtney Love.
So Uber, I leave it to you, what are your favorite fucked up movie moments? What are the moments that make your balls retreat in to the safety of your throat?

Anything the woman did to the guy in "Audition" especially while saying "Heeeeeeere Kitty Kitty Kitty" over and over again.
----------------------------
Yeah, the last scene of that movie is probably one of the most disturbing things ever. But she's not saying "Here kitty kitty kitty", she's saying "itty itty itty itty" or something like that, which is apparently Japanese for "deeper, deeper, deeper". Just to put that into perspective for you, creepy_guy. It makes sense if you think about it.

I seem to laugh during these normally horrible scenes.
for example, when the guy gets shot in the face in saving private ryan
or when they torch the german bunker in saving private ryan
or when blackburn falls off the helicopter in black hawk down
(i just saw that movie this week and i thought it was good but too dramatic)

There's a particular "Tales from the Crypt" episode (an early one, I think) where a black cat came out of a grandfather clock, suffocated a guy, crawled INTO his mouth and down inside his body, and then came back out of his mouth all wet and goopey. Makes my stomach heave.

The first twenty or so minutes of "Irreversible." If you have an easy time watching this film, I question the existence of your soul. I won't ruin it just in case anyone actually plans to see it, but it makes your examples look like clips from Lamb Chop's Play-Along.

I don't own a set of testicles, but...
Speaking of 'Cube', that very first scene where the guy gets cut into about a bajillion pieces by this razorwire-like mesh screen, and the screen is so sharp the guy just stands there for a few seconds before he literally falls apart in chunks... It doesn't make my metaphorical balls retreat, but it *is* really, really interesting-looking.
Very little actually disturbs me, come to think of it. When I watch a 'scary' movie, I spend most of my time figuring out effects and such. This is quite amusing, given that I have a hyper-sensitive fight-or-flight reaction. Basically, I'll *know* that a loud-noise-and-sudden-movement part of a movie is about to happen. Scary music will be playing and I am usually able to count down the seconds until said bit happens. But no matter what, the part ocurrs, and I invariably end up launching myself into the air for a moment before landing in a half crouched, ready-for-action sort of pose.
EVERY GODDAMN TIME.
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen the movie. I always levitite when something loud with quick, jerky movements happens. And I swear that I'm not scared when I do it; it's just a body reaction, not a brain one.
Damnit, I want a refund on that reflex. Mine functions too well.

That scene fucks me up.
=============
Same here. But only the first time. The very first time I saw Saving Private Ryan, I was like 11 years old. I got up after the beach scene, I went to the bathroom and puked. Then I went back and finished it. I felt traumatized after watching it. I've never been the same since.

I was just about to mention the curbing scene from American History X. That movie is so great.
I haven't seen any of the Asian horror movies, but I've heard they're the only ones doing it right nowadays. Anyone got any suggestions of good Asian horror flicks?
-=-=-=-=-==--=-==-
Eko Eko Azarak (1 or 2) is a good one. Japanese horror about a good girl who is born as a black witch. The movie has blood and death and lesbians and satan-worshipping. Every boy that loves her dies, which is actually quite sad because she loves them too but knows that they will die (it's a black-witch curse).
I get rather emotional in japanese films though because my Japanese isn't fluent so I'm usually forced to think about what they are saying over and over to understand it.
If you want Samurai movies however, I suggest you look for the Baby Cart series. Not as scary, but absolutely excellent. Tonnes of blood.

That's a great scene.
There is a scene in a movie titled "Dead Alive" where the main character straps a lawn mower to his chest and goes at about a hundred zombies. There's gore flying everywhere. It's not stomach clenching, but it is cool.
The scene in the new "Dawn of the Dead" wgere the zombie takes the broken croquet mallet through the bottom of his chin and up through the top of his head is interesting.

there's no scene in particular that well makes me cringe so to say but I will say my favorite scene. My favorite movie scene is a scene from the movie True Romance, The scene I speak about is the scene with Christopher Walken. He has this 10 minute conversation with this guy (played by Dennis Hopper) and they play cat and mouse for a bit and then Walken shoots the guy. Walken plays a sicilian mobster which I think he pulled off pretty well.
I also liked the scene in reservoir dogs when Mr Blonde was torturing the cop then cuts his ear off that while listening to Stuck in the Middle with you and dancing that was great.

The ear scene Reservoir Dogs.
The intestine ripping scene from the original Dawn of the Dead.
Rape scene from Pulp fiction makes my stomach churn.
When Ed Norton beats the crap out of the blonde guy in Fight Club.
As far as suspense, the last 5 minutes of Reservoir Dogs makes my heart pound every time I watch it.

Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste" is a gore-a-thon (not on a par with Eastern imports), but to go even beyond what gore-heads consider hardcore, the sickest is the non-fiction "U.S. Army Basic Autopsy Procedure," an actual military training vid available via several horror movie dealers. I'm not into gore, so I'd go with the scene from "Little Nicky" where they shove the pineapple up Hitler's ass. (He might not blush, but it would certainly put some color in his cheeks, so to speak.)

There is nothing weird about loving those moments in movies. It's all about sensation, the release of chemicals in your brain. It's exactly like the feeling you get when your depressed and beat yourself up over it. That kind of spine tingling rush.

How about the "I'm born again" killing in Bad Taste when Derek drops through the ceiling and chainsaws himself through the aliens head to come crawling ou from between it's legs.
I would also submuit either Ring or Ring 2 in their entirety, or that bit in Ring 0 when Sadako leaps around the corner and does that fucked up body popping thing.

Ok, all you had to do was say "the hobbling scene in Misery" and you made me cringe......
My contribution.....I cannot remember the title of the movie, I think it was something along
the lines of "The irrefutabul truth about Demons" or something like that.....anyway, there
was a scene where the 'hero' was being held down on a bed by three demons. The head demon
picks up a small clay jar and moves his hand over the top in circles while chanting some
incantations. The hero's mouth is forced open, and the head demon dumps the contents of the jar
into his mouth. Probably 10 or 12 large cockroaches. That were REAL. No CGI folks. This
guy had REAL FUCKING LIVE COCKROACHES dumped into his mouth........
