Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • The army segment of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".
  • Naked Vietnamese women who do a weird kind of gymnastic dance thing while standing in water about three feet deep, presumably near a beach... and then fall over dead for no apparent reason. Then we're treated to a lovely shot of dead naked bodies with water washing over them.
  • Lucy walking into Paco, the anti-war radical who was all about peace marches and giving flowers to cops, building bombs. It's even more horrifying that after Lucy calls him out ("I thought it was the other side that dropped the bombs") it doesn't affect him whatsoever. He just continues to build the bombs. Later on after that scene, Jude opens up a news paper and the headliner says that anti-war strikers were killed in a homemade bomb blast. Jude's horrified face when he thinks that Lucy was killed in there as well (she wasn't thankfully), and the Scare Chord that plays along with his expression says it all.
  • The Jump Scare when Lucy is nearly hit by a bullet during a protest that turns into a riot. It passes clear through the phone booth she's standing in, and misses her by mere inches.
