* ItWasHisSled: Aron cuts off his own arm. Being based off a true story, it's pretty much the only reason why this movie exists. It's so ubiquitous that the film ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' referenced it by Deadpool saying "Have you ever seen ''127 Hours''? Spoiler alert." before cutting off his own (regenerating) arm.

** While the entirety of the arm-cutting is bad, the specific final bit where [[spoiler: he has to cut through his upper-arm nerve cords]] is a whole other level of nausea punctuated with a loud static noise to simulate how it feels. Just *try* not to feel a bit light-headed after seeing that.

Considering the previous link had the music unavailable, I decided to paste a new link.


* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf7Cu3H33HY Festival by Sigur Ros]] springs to mind. The music alone makes the last scene of the movie extremely touching, heartwarming and awesome all at the same time. Catharsis, indeed.

Not YMMV.


* HellIsThatNoise: Watch out for the horrible sounds that play when [[spoiler:Aron touches the nerve in his forearm, and when he snaps his radius and ulna]]. This second sound was augmented by being mixed with the sound of ''a gun shot''.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation - Is Aron a hero who exemplifies the strength of the human will to survive, an idiot who paid a very dear price for a stupid mistake, or both at once?

game, not a trope. More like a man goes mountain climbing alone and doesn\'t die because Death was too busy playing chess.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel - But with a huge catharsis at the end.
** You know from the start of the film ''exactly'' what's going to happen. And yet it's still utterly horrifying.
*** Cranked [[UpToEleven Up To Eleven Million]] when, in the middle of [[spoiler:cutting off his arm with a dull knife, he reaches a nerve bundle that, despite everything else he had done to himself, was still ''electrically painful'']]. The sound effects that go with it only make it worse.
