History BloodierAndGorier / LiveActionFilms

* Ditto for ''[[Film/TheBlob1988 The Blob]]'' remake, which likewise ups the gore and special effects to appropriately [=80s=] levels of grossness. For example, the Blob's first victim in the original is a homeless man whose hand gets enveloped by the Blob, gets taken to the doctor, then is apparently completely absorbed off-screen. In the remake, the homeless man tries (but fails) to [[AnArmAndALeg hack his hand off]] with an axe as the Blob starts to consume it, gets taken to the doctor, then the heroes find half his body dissolved with his ribcage turned into a hollowed-out, liquefied pile of gore.

* ''Film/DDay'', a remake of ''Film/{{Commando}}'', zig-zags this around. Onscreen deaths are accompanied by plenty of squibs and HighPressureBlood this time round, and one mook even gets blasted into LudicrousGibs from point-blank via GrenadeLauncher. However, the original has the hero hacking off limbs and scalping enemies which the remake omits. [[spoiler:Meanwhile the remake's BigBad is killed by a bloodless explosion while the original's gets messily shotgunned apart]].

* Roman Polanski's film version of ''Film/{{Macbeth|1971}}'' was controversial at the time for its violent nature. The opening scene with the witches sets the tone -- with them burying a severed human hand on the beach. The violence was thought to be heavily influenced by the real life murder of Roman Polanski's own wife.

** ''Film/Saw3D'' takes the gore to new heights. As well as finally showing what happens when the iconic [[{{Jawbreaker}} Reverse Bear Trap]] opens fully [[GlasgowGrin without the victim escaping]], the film also contains a trap that couldn't be included in any of the previous entries due to its sheer gruesomeness. The result of said trap is that a woman tied down with barbed wire has her [[HeadCrushing head crushed]] under the wheels of a car, a man has his arms and jaw ripped off, another man is run over by the same car and the man in the front seat is sent flying through the windshield when the car crashes (and since he was glued into the seat, this causes ''a huge chunk of his skin to be ripped off'').

** ''Saw III'' included brain surgery and ''Film/SawIV'' included an autopsy. Neither situation contains any horror elements, but the {{gorn}} evidently merited their inclusion.

* The ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' series increases the level of blood, gruesome death, and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs blood expelled via gruesome death]] [[SequelEscalation with each subsequent film]].
** To be specific, ''Film/SawI'' and ''Film/SawII'' were relatively light on the gore, using [[NothingIsScarier the anticipation of it to build fear]] more than the actual act of it, which in the case of the first film was fairly tame when it did happen (two of the most violent acts in the film, Lawrence hacking his chained foot off and Adam beating Zep to death with a toilet lid, happen almost entirely offscreen). ''Film/SawIII'' and beyond throw this idea completely to the wind and include scenes involving people putting their hands through buzzsaws, [[HeadCrushing a head being crushed]] between two ice blocks, [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe a man getting vivisected by a swinging blade]], a woman having her ribcage ripped open (after being forced to put her hand in a container of acid), a person getting crushed by [[TheWallsAreClosingIn a room with walls that move inward]], a man getting impaled by spikes that inject acid into him until he melts into a pile of guts, and more.

** ''Film/ANewHope'': When Obi-Wan chops off an alien's arm with his lightsaber (the first time one was shown in use) and [[AvertedTrope blood is seen on the floor]], as well as seeing the still smoking skeletons of Luke's Aunt and Uncle. For the rest of series, all the violence is nothing but BloodlessCarnage, so this appears to have been an oversight.

* ''Film/WerewolfByNight2022'' is by far the most blood-soaked entry in the MCU with severed limbs, ears ripped off and blood splattered onto the camera lens. The only reason this entry ''isn't'' rated TV-MA is due to the black-and-white filter hiding the gore.

** The [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Transformers franchise]] didn't had much gorn, but ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}'' really cranked up the dial on show how much damage a Transformer could take, what with all the sparks flying, metal bending, and micro-explosions within their bodies. [[spoiler:When Sam shoves the Allspark into Megatron's chest, that results in a ''molten hole''.]]

* Mel Gibson's ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'', despite being a Christian film, is infamous for seemingly relishing in the brutal torture of Jesus Christ. Even when this film was re-edited to remove the most brutal moments so it could be lowered from an R to a PG-13, it wasn't enough, and it instead went unrated. JustifiedTrope, though, as this film seeks to be accurate to Jesus's real-life execution according to the Gospels, while other [[PassionPlay passion plays]] (at least in English-speaking cultures) are much more sanitized in comparison.

* Needless to say, ''Film/TheBananaSplits'' did not kill anyone in the original [=1960s=] television series.

* Creator/TakeshiKitano's ''Film/{{Zatoichi|2003}}'' is perhaps the goriest ''Franchise/{{Zatoichi}}'' film of all.

** ''Film/WerewolfByNight'' is probably the goriest MCU film yet, with lots and lots of limbs severed and bitten off and plenty of bloody, gruesome kills. Although since it's in black and white, it's able to get away with being as gory as possible with a TV-14 rating.

** ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was notable for upping the violence of the saga as a whole, but especially the prequels. Instead of the MechaMooks, the heroes are forced to slice up living creatures a lot more, with [[OffWithHisHead decapitations]] and [[AnArmAndALeg hacking off limbs]] given more focus. Anakin's disfigurement involves being [[ManOnFire set on fire]] and his skin boiling off in a close-up.

* ''Film/LicenceToKill'' is far bloodier than previous and following Film/JamesBond films, even up to this day.

** ''Film/WerewolfByNight'' is probably the goriest MCU film yet, with lots and lots of limbs severed and bitten off and plenty of bloody, gruesome kills. And yet, despite this, it got a TV-14 rating... although that has more to do with the fact that it's in black and white.

** ''Film/WerewolfByNight'' is probably the goriest MCU work yet, with lots and lots of limbs severed and bitten off and plenty of bloody, gruesome kills. And yet, despite this, it got a TV-14 rating... although that has more to do with the fact that it's in black and white.

* The more sequels the ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' series gets, the more bloody the movies become. The fourth and fifth installments take the blood and gore UpToEleven.

** ''Film/{{Logan}}'' takes this UpToEleven. The high amount of {{Gorn}} in most cases are insane, really showing what results from a main character with claws resembling razor sharp knives. People get decapitated, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled through areas]] and limbs get cut off. It notably uses the R rating to its advantage, and got the special C rating in Mexico (which means adults with ID) mostly because of its gore alone.
