[[caption-width-right:350:Two words: '''Tommy [=DeVito=]'''.

* Two words: '''Tommy [=DeVito=]'''.

** Even worse: Scorsese had to ''tone down'' some of the things Tommy did ''in real life''...

* The scene where we see what happens to these gangsters when they go to prison: they live like kings.

** Even worse: Scorsese had to ''tone down'' some of the things Tommy did ''[[RealityIsUnrealistic in real life]]''...
** Tommy's execution is pretty horrifying, especially as he realizes whats about to happen a fraction of a second before a bullet blows off half his face.

* After everything, after all the horrible things he's been a part of, all Hill really cares about is the loss of his gangster status. He doesnt care that he's been partially responsible for the murder and ruining the lives of countless innocent people, all he ever gave a fuck about was himself. Atleast Tommy's sociopathy was out on the surface.

** Tommy's execution is pretty horrifying, especially as he realizes whats about to happen a raction of a second before a bullet blows off half his face.

** Even worse: Scorsese had to ''tone down'' some of the things Tommy did ''in real life''...

* Two words: '''Tommy [=DeVito=]'''. He is generally frightening when he's mad. And the most chilling in Tommy is that does not tolerate words misinterpreted by himself, not to mention his twisted sense of humor, notably in the grave digging scene.
** If you pay attention to the personality of Tommy, is pure FridgeHorror. He is incredibly irrational and paranoid, and any word misunderstood by himself can lead to murder. So here, it is very likely already committed other killings or beatings before the movie. Worse, you can imagine how he must have been in school?
** Then there is the Billy's brutal death scene, where Tommy hits him until he bled and even some blood falls to his face, most disturbing of all is that he wanted to continue the beating, even when his partners stopped him. Even Henry is visibly disturbed for this action.
* The scene where we see what happens to these gangsters when they go to prison: they live like kings. The prisons have been reformed quite a bit since then, but even a prison system one tenth as corruptable as then one presented in the film lets career-complete-monsters off sickeningly lightly.
* The scene where Jimmy starts thinking about whacking Morrie and all the other hired mooks. He just sits there smoking but then music goes up and you know he's up to no good.

* The way Henry's father beats his son when he's a teenager is brutally realistic setting for early in the film, and highly disturbing.

* Two words: '''Tommy [=DeVito=]'''. He is generally frightening when he's mad. And the most chilling in Tommy is that does not usually tolerate jokes or words misinterpreted by himself, not to mention his twisted sense of humor, notably in the grave digging scene.

* The most chilling thing about this movie is just how desensitized these people are to killing, specially Tommy and Jimmy. They have a family, they talk, they laugh-and yet the littlest thing anyone does can set them off and make them kill. The most disturbing moment was probably where the poor bartender is beaten over the head and stomped on and shot in the face, and they cover the corpse up with a cloth and start ''laughing'' again, as if nothing has happened.

** Henry isn't horrified by the murder. He's horrified by the fact Tommy whacked a ''made man'', which is a death sentence if you don't get permission from a Don.

Hell, NothingisScarier than cold sociopathy. It almost seems as if it were of an extreme BlackComedy in a live action version of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
* Tommy [=DeVito=] is generally frightening when he's mad. It is not pleasant interact with him, can not stand sarcasm, or any word misunderstood by him is enough to be willing to kill.
* The montage of [[spoiler:the fates of those involved in the Lufthansa heist]]. Especially how they're revealed in slow motion.
