History NightmareFuel / FritzTheCat

* The entire riot scene. An all-too-familiar sight [[RippedFromTheHeadlines in the sixties]]. But even scarier is how ''easily'' it begins. Fritz begins a heated, emotionally-charged speech atop a car in Harlem, urging the crows to rise up and rebel against the system that works them to the bone while living in the lap of luxury. All it takes is a policeman firing off several shots after getting [[GrievousBottleyHarm a beer bottle to the eye.]] Riot police are brought in, Black Panthers start sniping cops from rooftops and eventually the air force is brought in to ''bomb'' the protest. And Fritz can only watch in horror, utterly helpless to stop the carnage that ''he created.''

* Duke's death, as pictured here. He is shot by a stray bullet. Instead of being killed instantly, he dies slowly and painfully, dazed yet devastated in his realization that it really is the ''end'' for him. Cut to shots of billiard balls slowly bumping to a motionless state, accompanied by the sound of heart beats slowly coming to a stop, before he falls over dead.

* Fritz being duped into suicide bombing the power plant by the Neo-Nazis, who the whole time have been scheming of ways in which they can destroy society as we know it in one fell swoop. The worst part is that there are ''actual white supremacists out there with this kind of ideology and modus operandi.''

* Harriet getting sadistically beaten with a chain by her boyfriend simply for [[DisproportionateRetribution wanting to leave the terrorist meeting for a date.]] Not only is she screaming and crying for them to stop the whole time, but the music score begins to devolve into [[HellIsThatNoise cacophonous, atonal noise]], adding to the scene's visceral horror. Fritz's attempt to stop the carnage gets him knocked out with a hot candle, leaving Harriet to be [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil gang raped by the others.]] The fact that [[ViolenceDiscretionShot we]] [[ViolenceDiscretionShot don't]] [[ViolenceDiscretionShot even see the worst of it]], with the scene cutting to [[MoodWhiplash a quiet evening outside their hideout]] a few minutes later, makes it [[NothingIsScarier even scarier]]. Fritz's ThousandYardStare after entering the lizard woman's car says it all.

* Seeing cute furry cartoon animals having sex, doing drugs and killing each other in cold blood is disturbing. And it certainly was for audiences back in 1972.
* Duke's death, as pictured here. He is shot by a stray bullet. Cut to shots of billiard balls slowly bumping to a motionless state, accompanied by the sound of heart beats slowly coming to a stop, before he falls over dead.

* The farmer who is so annoyed by the chickens in his truck that he smashes them to a bloody pulp!
* Harriet getting sadistically beaten by her boyfriend and his gang, who are heavily implied to gang rape her immediately afterwards. Not only is she screaming and crying for them to stop the whole time, but the music score eventually devolves into [[HellIsThatNoise cacophonous, atonal noise]], making the whole scene viscerally horrifying.
