9	* Bruno Mattei's two back-to-back CannibalFilm sequels are more shocking, vile and even more horrifying than what other film directors have done in the late 1970s and 1980s.
10	* Many of Dark Castle Entertainment's remakes of Creator/WilliamCastle films, such as ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1999'' and ''Film/Thir13enGhosts''.
11	* The Tim Burton ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'', while not as heavy on the violence as some examples on this page, has considerably more deaths, corpses, and [[EyeScream eyes getting jabbed]] than you'd ever expect from a film called ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
12	* ''Film/AlienVsPredator'' was violent, but down to a PG-13 rating. ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem'' overcompensated on the {{Gorn}}, with a common complaint being that it went too far (most infamously involving pregnant women turning into a snakes nest of chestbursters).
13	* ''Film/TheBananaSplitsMovie'': Needless to say, the Banana Splits did not kill anyone in the original [[Series/TheBananaSplits 1960s children's television series]].
14	* While the murders in the original ''Film/BlackChristmas1974'' were all quite violent, there wasn't that much gore. This is "remedied" in [[Film/BlackChristmas2006 the remake]].
15	** However, it may be [[InvertedTrope the opposite case]] with the 2019 remake which is the only version with a PG-13 rating.
16	* Ditto for ''Film/TheBlob1988'', which likewise ups the gore and special effects to appropriately '80s levels of grossness. For example, the Blob's first victim in [[Film/TheBlob1958 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.
17	* ''Film/{{Braindead}}'' holds the record for being the goriest movie ever made. So in short, it's pretty much bloodier and gorier to about '''''every other film on this page'''''.
18	* ''Film/{{Casino}}'' is by far bloodier and gorier compared to ''Film/GoodFellas''.
19	* The original ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'' film was, while not blood free or wholly faithful to the book series, in line with the action/adventure films of the 80's. Its [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian2011 2011 reboot]] includes feet being impaled and squirting like popped balloons, liquid metal being poured over Conan's father, and a priest getting his head smashed into a staircase.
20	* ''Film/CubeZero'' is noticeably gorier than previous installments in the ''Film/{{Cube}}'' series, with people being blown up, dissected, burned alive, melted into a bloody puddle or rotting away from a flesh-eating virus onscreen.
21	* It was hard to top ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978'', but ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'' managed to do so.
22	* Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse:
23	** ''Film/{{Birds of Prey\|2020}}'' is the bloodiest film in the setting when it comes to fights.
24	** ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' features more blood and a few more dismemberments than the theatrical cut.
25	** ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' is this not only to ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', but even to the other two films listed above. For starters, [[spoiler: half the cast is brutally massacred ''before the opening credits'', and things '''do not''' slow down from there.]] Perhaps the most gruesome bit is [[spoiler: the death of Rick Flagg, where we are treated to a close-up X-ray shot of his heart being punctured by glass.]]
26	* ''Film/DDay'', a remake of ''Film/Commando1985'', 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]].
27	* The fifth installment of the ''Franchise/DieHard'' series, ''Film/AGoodDayToDieHard'', seems to be heading this way now that the movie rating has been confirmed to an R-rating. Although it's not quite played straight; the first ''Film/DieHard'' film was also R-rated and the franchise got progressively LighterAndSofter in the sequels, to the point where ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard'' was bordering on AvoidTheDreadedGRating.
28	* The fourth installment of the ''Film/DirtyHarry'' series, ''Film/SuddenImpact''. Not only is this the [[DarkerAndEdgier darkest and dirtiest]] installment of the series, it's also by far the most violent due to its strong [[RapeAsDrama rape theme]].
29	* The [[Film/TheEqualizer film version of The Equalizer]] is very much this when compared to [[Series/TheEqualizer the series that it was based on]]. The former even includes a scene in the climax where [[spoiler: [=McCall=] brutally dispatches his enemies with appliances at the Home Mart he works at, even killing [[TheDragon Teddy]] with a high-powered nailgun.]]
30	* ''Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' is much more explicitly violent than the games. The games preferred to avoid depicting gore onscreen, other than in 8-bit mini-games or the occasional ShadowDiscretionShot, and the only instance where anything resembling realistic blood appeared was some red liquid on the tops of the nightmare animatronics teeth in ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4'', which arguably still has enough plausible deniability to say it ''could'' be just rust. In contrast, the movie shows a lot of brutal kills both on and offscreen. [[spoiler: A security guard has his face sliced open by a Freddy-shaped torture mask with built-in saw blades, Carl's face gets eaten by Carl the cupcake (with the aftermath directly shown onscreen), Max gets decapitated by Freddy, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Mike is visibly bleeding after the ghost children attack him in his dream.]]]]
31	* ''Franchise/FinalDestination'', in every progressive film, ups the ante in terms of Rube Goldberg style deaths and how bloody/convoluted they can become.
32	* The remake of ''[[Film/TheFly1986 The Fly]]'' is ''way'' more gross than the [[Film/TheFly1958 original film]], substituting the original "man with fly head" character with a ''slow'' and [[BodyHorror incredibly]] [[PainfulTransformation painful]] transmogrification from the inside out, in the gooiest special effects that the [=1980s=] could provide. What else do you expect with Creator/DavidCronenberg in the director's chair, and Chris Walas (responsible for the melting heads in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'') providing the effects?
33	* While the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise hasn't shied away from blood, ''Film/ShinGodzilla'' does feature more than usual, with bunker busters causing Godzilla to bleed a ton from his back and early on, even spurts blood from his gills. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vs4mgm4E4E A deleted scene shows Godzilla vomiting blood that's hot enough to warp metal and melt tires.]]
34	** The monster scenes featured in the 1960s ''Godzilla'' movies are surprisingly [[BloodlessCarnage bloodless]] as special effects director Creator/EijiTsuburaya was strongly against the depiction of blood and gore in his special effects scenes, even becoming angry at one crewman for suggesting to have Godzilla bleed. After his death in 1970, the movies got ''a lot'' bloodier, with Godzilla and other monsters bleeding profusely and more instances of FamilyUnfriendlyViolence.
35	* ''Film/TheGreenGoblinsLastStand'''s final battle is much more brutal than depicted in the comics, with Peter's mask half-torn and his face bleeding, and the Goblin sliding down a bloody wall after being impaled.
36	* ''Rob Zombie's Film/HalloweenII2009'' is much gorier than his already very violent [[Film/{{Halloween 2007}} remake]]. Whereas the previous film had some brutal stabbings and beatings, the sequel turns it up to eleven five minutes in, what with its graphic depiction of emergency surgery, decapitation by broken glass, [[HeadCrushing head-crushings]], and more.
37	** The original ''Film/HalloweenII1981'' was quite violent compared to its predecessor as well. John Carpenter specifically made it gorier -- feeling it had to be so to compete with the other gory slashers that had popped up on the market.
38	** As a direct sequel to ''Film/Halloween1978'', ''Film/Halloween2018'' was this. While not as graphic as the remakes, it still is ''loaded'' with intense and bloody violence, especially compared to the original's BloodlessCarnage. Somehow, its sequel ''Film/HalloweenKills'' is even '''worse'''; it ratchets the gore all the way back up to Rob Zombie levels, with Michael viciously and gruesomely murdering dozens of victims with all sorts of horrific {{Improvised Weapon}}s, including his own thumbs.
39	* The ''Film/Hellboy2019'' is way gorier than the original [[ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} source material]]. The original comics could get pretty dark and grim at times, but they were more about Gothic menace and sinister monster designs than gore, and what bloodshed we did see was more artistic than gratuitous thanks to Mike Mignola's unique art style. This film, by contrast, is filled with blood and gore and contains many scenes of people being sliced up, squashed, ripped to pieces and flayed alive by monsters.
40	* ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1999'' remake compared to the original. The original had relatively few deaths and none of the murders were shown; in the remake, all but two of the characters are killed, and some are violently dismembered.
41	* They seem tame now, but the Film/HammerHorror films were considered quite a bit bloodier and gorier (not to mention HotterAndSexier) than the Franchise/UniversalHorror films they were re-imagining.
42	* The villain of the book ''Literature/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer'' never successfully killed anyone, while he kills several in [[Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer the film]], the sequels to which also up the red significantly.
43	* ''Film/LicenceToKill'' is far bloodier than previous and following Film/JamesBond films, even up to this day, with Krest’s ExplosiveDecompression and Dario getting shredded by a cocaine grinder being among some of the most brutal deaths in the series to date. It was the first in the series to be rated PG-13, and even originally got an R-rating before it had to be trimmed to get a friendlier rating.
44	* ''Film/TheLoneRanger'' is as bloody and gory as a Disney movie gets, and the bloodiest and goriest Disney movie thus far (not counting any film released by Touchstone or Hollywood).
45	* ''[[Film/TheLostBoys The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe]]'' was a lot bloodier than the original.
46	* 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 Polanski's wife Creator/SharonTate at the hands of the Manson Family.
47	* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
48	** An aversion combined with WhatCouldHaveBeen: Agent Coulson being ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice [[http://screencrush.com/avengers-rated-r/ would have made]] ''Film/{{The Avengers\|2012}}'' Disney's first R-rated movie not released by Touchstone. It was released as a PG-13-rated movie after minor edits to the offending scene.
49	** Some of the later movies, especially ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' and especially ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', become [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence rather increasingly bloody and violent]], where instead of the usual BloodlessCarnage, there may be rather gruesome fights, injuries, [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath or even deaths]].
50	** Actually [[InvertedTrope inverted]] by the first and second ComicBook/CaptainAmerica movies. Both have scenes where a hapless mook is thrown into [[TurbineBlender the engine of a flying vehicle]] -- but in ''The Winter Soldier'', when the title character throws a SHIELD agent into a Quinjet's open turbine, the guy pretty much just ceases to exist and vanishes in a cloud of [[BloodlessCarnage smoke and flame]] as the Quinjet crashes. In the [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger previous film]], there's a fight scene in the climax where Cap unintentionally knocks a HYDRA goon into the spinning propeller of a plane, said goon [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath immediately turns into]] '''[[PinkMist a giant cloud of bloody mist]]'''. It's still the most gruesome kill in any MCU movie, and not by a little bit either.
51	** ''Film/WerewolfByNight2022'' 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.
52	* ''Film/MortalKombat2021'' has plenty of blood, which is closer to [[Franchise/MortalKombat the game series it's based on]] than [[Film/MortalKombatTheMovie previous]] [[Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation movies]] based on it.
53	* As part of the DarkerAndEdgier approach, the Netfilx film ''Film/{{Mowgli}}'' is much more graphically violent than any previous adaptation of ''Literature/TheJungleBook'', and at times even the book itself. When Bagheera finds Mowgli, he's covered in his parents' blood; we're treated of a shot of a bloody cattle carcass; Shere Khan, at one point, sinks his claws into an unconscious Mowgli's shoulder and slowly slashes his arm; [[spoiler:and in the climax, Khan gets stabbed several times by Mowgli's knife]].
54	* ''Literature/NeedfulThings'': In both the book and the movie, Nettie comes home after playing her prank on Buster Keeton to find that her dog, Raider, has been murdered. The book has him "merely" getting impaled with a corkscrew, but in the movie, Raider was [[spoiler:skinned alive and hung up in Nettie's closet]].
55	* ''Film/NightWatch'': For Anton's fight with the vampires in the beginning. In the novel, Anton uses the vampire's seal to instantly ash him. In the film, the vampire turns invisible and repeatedly stabs Anton with scissors. Anton finally kills the vampire by smashing his head on a sink. Geser later pulls pieces of scissors from Anton's bloodied torso.
56	* 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. Justified, 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.
57	* The [[Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera1989 1989]] and 1998 versions of ''Franchise/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' are much gorier compared to the rest, especially the former with its flayings and decapitations.
58	* ''Film/Piranha3D'' to the original ''Film/{{Piranha}}''. Such examples include a woman getting cut in half by a wire, a woman getting her head mutilated by a boat propeller,a man getting his head smashed between two boats, etc.
59	* While the ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' series always had blood given it [[VillainBasedFranchise "stars"]] alien hunters bearing all sorts of lethal weaponry, ''Film/ThePredator'' is as gory as an exploitation film, with decapitations, bisections, impalements, ripped limbs, etc.
60	* Though ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'' isn't exactly lighthearted family fare in any incarnation (well, unless he's paired with a more traditional hero who prevents him from killing anybody), compare [[Film/ThePunisher2004 the second movie]] to the reboot, ''Film/PunisherWarZone.'' The second is about action-movie-normal when it comes to the killing, but the third basically said "screw plot, spurting blood is all we need!"
61	* ''Film/ThePurge'' was already a violent movie franchise, but its GrandFinale ''Film/TheForeverPurge'' really ups the blood and body count.
62	* The ''Film/{{Pusher}}'' trilogy by Nicolas Winding Refn is fairly violent throughout, but the third installment ends on a particularly gory scene.
63	* ''Film/TheRaid2Berandal'' is this to ''Film/TheRaid''. The original was already brushing up against an NC-17 rating, but the sequel pushes the envelope of the R-rating still further with faces being mangled by claw-hammers, people being eviscerated by shotguns in close-up, and all sorts of horrible things being done with baseball bats and kerambit knives.
64	* The more sequels the ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' series gets, the more bloody the movies become. The fourth and fifth installments take the blood and gore up a notch.
65	* Aside from the video games, the violence in the third ''Film/{{Riddick}}'' movie is a lot gorier than in previous films, including a partial decapitation shown in full detail.
66	* The ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' series increases the level of blood, gruesome death, and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs blood expelled via gruesome death]] with [[SequelEscalation each subsequent film]].
67	** 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 first film's case 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.
68	** ''Saw III'' included brain surgery as a plot point and ''Film/SawIV'' opened with an autopsy. Neither situation contains any horror elements, but the {{gorn}} evidently merited their inclusion.
69	** ''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 (known as the Horsepower 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'').
70	* ''Film/Scarface1983'': ''Massively'' so compared to the 1932 original. Even with the laxer censorship standards over the 50 years that had passed between the two, this was considered an exceptionally violent film that shocked audiences when it was first released.
71	* ''{{Film/Scream}}'':
72	** Lampshaded by Randy in ''Film/{{Scream 2}}'' when discussing the rules on how to make a sequel. "Death scenes are more elaborate; more blood, more gore. Carnage candy."
73	** Inverted for ''Film/{{Scream 3}}'', [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents which had to be toned down, as the censors were afraid it would be in poor taste after Columbine]]. At one point they tried to push for no gore to be in the film whatsoever.
74	** ''{{Film/Scream 4}}'' is probably the goriest film in the series -- involving scenes where a cop gets stabbed in the head and walks around bleeding, someone getting their throat cut through a mailbox and an especially brutal death for [[spoiler: Olivia]].
75	** On a more general note, Ghostface claims more and more lives as the films progress: five in the first film (six if you count Maureen Prescott), eight in the second, nine in the third, and 11 in the fourth (not counting the deaths in the ShowWithinAShow).
76	* ''Film/SleepyHollow1999'' -- Another Creator/TimBurton[=/=]Creator/JohnnyDepp collaboration, retelling the legend of the Headless Horseman. Features buckets and buckets of blood (autopsies, beheadings, and dismemberment).
77	* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
78	** ''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, with the {{Watsonian}} explanation that lightsabers and blasters instantly cauterize any wounds they cause, so this appears to have been an oversight.
79	** ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] compared to other parts of the franchise, but is rather bloody for it's PG rating, when a creature lands bloody claw marks on [[BadassNormal Padme]], or the AlienBlood that comes out of squashed Geonosians.
80	** ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was notable for being the first film in the series to get a PG-13 rating, and 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.
81	** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' doesn't go too extreme, but the opening scene has a fallen stormtrooper place a BloodyHandprint on the helmet of a comrade, an image never shown in the movies before. Other stormtroopers are also shown flying with some explosions and blaster fire, with added chunks of armor being blown off, although that would be more SymbolicBlood. There's also a scene [[spoiler:where in a fit of rage, Kylo Ren is pounding at his blaster wound, where blood is leaking out copiously, in contrast to the usual BloodlessCarnage that blasters usually result in.]]
82	* ''[[Film/TheStepfather Stepfather III]]'' features more gore than the other three films in the series combined.
83	* ''Film/StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi'' compared to ''Film/StreetFighter''. Especially when Chun Li shoots a mook while he's incapacitated and [[spoiler:snaps Bison's neck]].
84	* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' -- [[Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet the stage show]] had false razors that squirted about a tablespoon of blood. The movie drenches a large room in one man's blood.
85	* ''Film/TalesFromTheDarksideTheMovie'' got to do a lot more gore than the TV show ''Series/TalesFromTheDarkside'', including a gargoyle clawing and biting people to death, and a cat killing someone by OrificeInvasion through the mouth and [[OrificeEvacuation then leaving through that mouth]].
86	* Film/TransformersFilmSeries:
87	** The [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Transformers franchise]] didn't had much gorn, but ''Film/Transformers2007'' 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''.]]
88	** In ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'', Optimus Prime snarls out a '''"GIVE [[LargeHam ME YOUR]] FACE."''' at the climax of the film. And that line doesn't cover the staff impaling that follows up.
89	* While it is in no way gory, ''Film/TronLegacy'' is '''way''' more violent than the original Tron. While in the original programs would simply explode into light before fading away when killed, the programs here shatter apart like glass and even let out bloodcurdling screams when killed. And it also doesn't help that AnyoneCanDie this time.
90	* The film adaptation of ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' is significantly bloodier and gorier than the book, which hardly shied away from violence itself. Just for an example: In the book, Dr. Manhattan killed people by disintegrating them. In the film they explode into LudicrousGibs. While even in the books his victims left bloody smears, the gibs were never visible.
91	** The scene where Big Figure's stooges are trying to break into Rorschach's cell during the prison riot. Rorschach traps one of the thugs' hands in the bars of the cell, and in the comic, [[spoiler:one of the other guys just slits his throat to get him out of the way. In the film, however, he ''hacks off the dude's hands with a circular saw.'']]
92	** An exception is [[spoiler:the destruction of New York]], which was changed to [[spoiler: a Nuclear-level bomb based on Dr. Manhattan's energy signature]], which leads to surveying the damage standing at the edge of a crater, rather than the comics [[spoiler: giant psychic quid]] which leads to seeing the streets covered in blood and entire crowds of people mutilated.
93	* ''Film/TheWolfman2010'' is far gorier than [[Film/TheWolfMan1941 the original]]. Numerous extras are mauled to death and even decapitated. The main character's [[PainfulTransformation transformation]] is also considerably more painful.
94	* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
95	** ''Film/TheWolverine'': In the extended cut, there is no BloodlessCarnage, up to and including a number of ninjas being sucked into a snow-blower and scattered across a few buildings.
96	** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
97	*** The film has some noticeably more violent moments than most of the previous films, such as [[spoiler:during Wolverine's rampage through the Alkali Lake base]].
98	*** [[spoiler:When Jean Grey incinerates him with the Phoenix Force, Apocalypse's skin is shown melting off, ''revealing his skull underneath''.]]
99	*** At one point, Apocalypse decapitates a group of three men with his powers onscreen.
100	*** During the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind between Apocalypse and Professor X, it can be surprising that the resulting NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that the former inflicts on the latter after growing in size (throwing Charles against a wall, no less) [[spoiler:does not actually kill him. Just before pleading for help from Jean, Xavier is reduced to crawling on the floor, and not only is he covered in his own blood, but he is also lying in it.]]
101	** ''Film/{{Logan}}'': 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.
102	* The films of Creator/QuentinTarantino are notorious for their stylized violence, with frequent forays into OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank and BlackComedy. So it's quite a surprise to watch ''Film/ReservoirDogs'', which contains relatively little blood and guts; the heist that's so critical to the plot happens off-screen, and what violence there is is treated with the utmost seriousness. Even the notorious scene where [[spoiler: Mr. Blonde severs a police officer's ear]] leaves just enough to the imagination to be brutal in its realism (compare ''Film/TheHatefulEight'', which borders on slapstick). Two years later, however, [[Film/PulpFiction Vincent Vega accidentally shot Marvin in the face]]; while ''Pulp Fiction'' as a whole was still quite capable of playing violence for horror, this scene led to one of the most comedically golden subplots in the whole movie, and the rest is history.
103	* Creator/TakeshiKitano's ''Film/{{Zatoichi\|2003}}'' is perhaps the goriest ''Franchise/{{Zatoichi}}'' film of all, with much dismembering and gallons of blood. So much so that it feels like a BloodyHilarious BlackComedy at times.
