* Parodied in ''Film/AceVenturaWhenNatureCalls'', where Ace interrogates a man by... scraping silverware on a porcelain plate, then poking his ''own'' eye to gross the man out.
* In ''Film/{{Brute Force|1947}}'', Captain Munsey, a guard from the penitentiary, wants to get extra information out of Louie before Joe and the gang try to escape, so he puts on loud classical music and proceeds to beat Louie with a drainpipe.
* Mick does this to quite a few people in ''[[Film/CrocodileDundee Crocodile Dundee 2]]'' (including a cop who's following him) after Sue is kidnapped by a mobster. The most extreme case is when, after subduing a thug sent to kill him, he dangles him out the window of a high-rise and threatens to cut the rope with his knife until he talks, which the guy eventually does. (Possibly a subversion, because at that point, he may have been angry enough to ''actually'' kill the guy.)

* Deconstructed in ''Film/TheDarkKnight:''.

* In [[TheMovie the 1987 movie]] of ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'':
-->'''[[Creator/TomHanks Streebeck]]:''' It's just you... and me... and your balls... and this drawer. ''[[GroinAttack SLAM!]]''
* Parodied in ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar''. The two main stoner characters are interrogated by the cops for a crime they didn't commit, but they don't remember anything from the night before. Thinking they're holding out on them, the cops then bring in a dummy, which they "torture" with beatings, pouring hot coffee in its face, and {{cigarette burns}}.

** This only works on Chester, though. Jesse just looks confused at the whole thing.

* Appears in the Brazilian movie ''Film/TheEliteSquad'', with TruthInTelevision techniques since the movie is based on a real Special Forces squad. Besides physical aggression, other interrogation methods include plastic bags on the head (and watering one which passed out after receiving the bag ''twice''), and threatening to do [[AssShove sodomy with a broomstick]].

* ''Film/JaneGotAGun'': After Dan shoots the member of the Bishop gang who chances upon the Hammond farm, he interrogates him about the whereabouts of the rest of gang: steeping on the bullet wound in his chest and jamming his pistol barrel into the wound in his shoulder.

* LawfulNeutral Scott in ''Film/{{Spartan}}'' breaks a man's arm in an alleyway. When the guy still won't talk Scott orders his somewhat alarmed apprentice to "take his eye out" and then "you bet your life" when he hesitates.

* ''Film/{{Crusing}}'': The NYPD have their suspect Skip Lee slapped around and threaten him in hopes that he'll confess to being the killer. It doesn't work (he was innocent too).

** Bond himself ends up on the receiving end of this in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', where LeChiffe, in desperation after going bankrupt after losing the gambling games, interrogates and tortures Bond by whacking his crotch with a knotted rope for the password to his gambling winnings.

** Bond himself falls victim to this in ''Film/CasinoRoyale'', where LeChiffe interrogates and tortures bond by whacking his crotch with a knotted rope.
