History Main / SlashedThroat

* It's possible to do this in ''GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''. It's not possible to see it, since the third-person camera view obscures the sight, but it sounds pretty messy.
** Not true in the PC version, being both superior and sexier and more amazinger. But in all seriousness, it is pretty awesome.

* In BatmanUnderTheRedHood TheJoker kills a mobster by breaking a glass and slicing his throat. Graphically. If the movie were in live-action this would never be made,with this trope and the brutal beating of Jason Todd(which was actually toned down for the movie)

* BraveHeart - Basically the BerserkButton that carries William Wallace through the entire film.

* ''((Mafia II))'' has both the Hollywood way and the "real" way to do this. It happens in a cutscene where a minor villain pulls a knife on the main character, who disarms the chump and kills him with his own knife. At first he cuts the guy with the usual Hollywood "ear to ear" slice, but this is just to torture the guy; afterwards he kills the guy the "proper" way by jamming the knife sideways into his neck.

This [[DeathTropes Death Trope]] is one of the classic ways to kill someone in media. Take a knife, a straight razor, or some other nasty edged weapon and draw it across your victim's throat. In a lot of media, this is generally instant death, but in more realistic works, it is generally quite slow and VERY messy to boot, particularly if the carotid artery or the jugular vein are severed (although depending on the work, the degree of messiness varies from the slight trickle to the more accurate steady pumping of blood). Not to mention the victim usually drowns in their own blood before passing out. Naturally, {{Knife Nut}}s are particularly fond of this method.

* This happens to Raynald in KingdomOfHeaven when he drinks from a cup of water that was not offered to him as aprisoner of war. Might be considered DisproportionateRetribution if not for the fact that he was the true JerkAss of the film.

* One of the organ traffickers in ''Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance'' is killed this way. His mother tells him not to remove the knife, but he does so anyway and ends up bleeding to death.

* In BatmanUnderTheRedHood TheJoker kills a mobster by breaking a glass and slicing his throat. Graphically. In an animated movie.

* Francis Wolcott likes to off prostitutes this way in ''DeadWood''.
