Nightmare Fuel / The Last Boy Scout

Go To

  • The opening scene, where Billy Cole starts gunning down the opposing team and then turning the gun on himself.
  • Milo is utterly terrifying, because of just how downright psychotic he is.
    Joe: Go fuck yourself.
    Milo: Okay. Now, that's not very polite. (Pulls out a switchblade and presses it to Joe's face) It's very abusive-sounding. What would you do, Joseph, if somebody told you to go fuck yourself? Would you cut one of their eyes out?
    Joe: No.
    Milo: No? What would you do? You think you're so fucking cool, don't you? Well once, just once, I would like to hear you scream in pain.
    • He's even worse in the original script, where he runs a snuff film operation on the side. He's introduced having a woman butchered with a chainsaw, and he later threatens to do the same thing to Joe's wife.
  • A lot of the violence in the film is pretty horrifying, especially since it verges into flat-out Gorn at some points, like Milo getting torn apart by a Helicopter Blender.
  • Milo's Slasher Smile when stabbing Joe in the leg.
