Groin Attacks in Films — Animation.

  • In An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, when Ms Kitty is being held hostage, the first thing Tiger does in his rage is kick one of Cat R. Waul's cowboy cronies between the legs with such force that he lifts the cat off the ground, and sends him flying through the air. He does so with a look of maniacal joy.
  • In The Ant Bully, a flying bug and passenger fly up the exterminator's pant leg during the battle to defend the colony. Searching for a target, one remarks, "That looks vulnerable..." and the other opens its mouth very wide. Cut to a view of the exterminator; there's a small but audible crunch, and suddenly the man grabs his crotch in pain, and his whole body distorts into an anguished-yet-silly posture.
  • In Back to the Outback, Chaz kicks Dave in a sensitive area to buy himself some time to run past the Tasmanian devil.
    Dave: Ahh! My bloomin’ onions!
  • Batman:
  • This is how Beavis And Butthead Do The Universe kicks off - Butt-Head convinces Beavis to stand in front of the "Powerkick 3000", which he cranks up and launches at the other, sending him flying over the science fair in the gym, his high-pitched squeal in pain causing things to break, setting the entire building on fire.
  • In The Big Bang (1987) when a team of mutants play soccer, at one point a rival team member kicks his opponent in the groin causing his testicles to fly out of his mouth, they then land in the goalie's hand where he smashes them in disgust.
  • Despicable Me:
    • The first film manages to sneak this in. In an attempt to infiltrate Vector's house, Gru gets attacked by one of his booby traps, which was a machine with a boxing glove that hits him in the groin. You can hear Gru grunt in pain and putting his hands over his groin.
    • In Despicable Me 2, when Gru tried to get Antonio away from Margo, Antonio retorted by kicking Gru's "most sensitive part".
    • Despicable Me 3:
      • One of Dru's pigs does this to Gru. He is understandably angry and tells the pig "that's my private part".
      • During her One-Woman Army assault on the group of people she thought were hurting her Edith and Agnes, Lucy does this to one of the men with a foosball table.
      • Gru attempts one on Bratt during their dance fight, but the latter manages to evade it.
  • Flushed Away:
  • Happy Feet: Baby Mumble pulls this on Memphis:
    Memphis: Watch the beak, watch the beak, BEAK!
    (Groin Attack)
    Memphis: (audibly in pain) The beak...
  • In Heavy Metal 2000: Julie gives one to Tyler, for nearly doing the same to her with his sword.
  • Happens off-screen in Planes: Dusty has his sprayer removed to reduce his drag. While off-screen, we hear him yelp and complain about the cold tools and procedure, hoping it's reversible. He re-appears sprayer-less, complete with (rather Mickey Mouse sounding) Instant Soprano before he clears his throat.
  • In Hey Arnold! The Movie: Arnold and Gerald try to slip past two security officers working for Scheck by hitting the guards with sheathed swords. Arnold hits one guard in the foot while Gerald slams his weapon right in the other's family jewels.
  • In Hotel Transylvania, Quasimodo kicks an animated suit of armor in the crotch in an effort to avoid capture. The armor goes down to his knees, clutching his crotch, then asks the camera, "Why did that hurt me?"
  • For a Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame has a surprising amount of Groin Attacks. A performer on stilts gets hit with a wayward champagne cork (the hit itself happens just off camera range, but the result is unmistakable); then the same man uses his stilts to simultaneously kick four guards; and finally, Phoebus narrowly blocks Esmeralda from hitting his manhood with a candle holder. Earlier on, when Esmeralda makes her first appearance on-screen, she is confronted by two guards; one slim, one portly. Her goat, Djali, rams his head into the chubby guard's crotch, and then uses his back legs to kick the thin guard in the nads. All in a span of about twelve minutes.
  • In Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, while Scrat is fighting Scratte over his nut, she kicks him in the...well nuts, hard enough to lift him off the ground. Though being used to a lot of physical trauma, he gets over pretty fast.
  • Kung Fu Panda:
    • In Kung Fu Panda, Po gets hit in his crotch during his first training session.
    • Kung Fu Panda 3:
      • Po, while taking a bath, mistakes a very strong spice for bath salts, spraying it all over his groin.
        Po: My Tenders!
      • It happens again during the sequence when Po trains the mountain pandas, the little old lady aiming below the plank he's holding.
  • The LEGO Movie has Bad Cop constantly abusing chairs and occasionally underlings. One scene has him kick around a chair in a rage, starting with a punt that sends it flying straight into the groin of the Mecha-Mook who set up the chair for him, complete with a high-pitched mechanical "Erk!" from the victim followed by them freezing in position and falling over very stiffly.
  • Madagascar: Alex gets kicked by Nana (the old lady) twice, and later on Melman's head falls on a piece of board, causing the other end to strike Alex in the groin (knocking Alex into the air and causing poor Alex to stop and moan in pain once he landed).
  • In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Alex gets into a fight with Nana, and Nana's "Finishing Move" is kicking him "Right in the batteries" (as Marty put it). Skip ahead to near the end of the film where Nana does it again, but this time kicking Makunga instead.
  • In Western Animation/Migration, the Chef is hit in the groin by one of the vegetables Uncle Dan shoots him with right before shooting a squash to his face, with the help of Delroy.
  • Mike from Monsters, Inc. deliberately lands groin-first onto a pipe in an attempt to make Boo laugh to reactivate the power to get her back into her room after the power went out... only to find out that Sully forgot to remove her "monster visor" meaning he ends up hurting himself for nothing.
  • Mortal Kombat Legends:
    • Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge:
      • Sonya Blade does this twice to Johnny Cage, first when he tells her to stick by him while putting his arm around her, she angrily kicks him in the nuts causing him to fall over in pain, and later when Scorpion tells the group to stay behind in the woods while he fights Goro and Shang Tsung, Johnny suggests they take his advice Sonya then stomps on his balls to shut him up.
      • Johnny himself does his famous nut punch to a demon working with Kano.
    • The sequel, Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, sees D'Vorah get in on hitting Johnny below the belt. It also sees Jax, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Stryker Share the Male Pain.
  • During the fight Fritz the Cat has with his wife at the end of The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat, she knees him in the groin.
  • In the adult animated Once Upon a Girl, a squirrel bites Jack in the dick after he starts humping its tree.
  • Happens in Quest for Camelot, Garrett is fighting against two of Ruber's metallic henchmen by using just his staff. He had knocked the mace-wielding thug flat in the pond and socked the arrow shooting thug out in the face. However, the mace-wielding thug emerges right behind him, but Garrett whips around and hammers his staff right in the iron family jewels before knocking the thug off his feet for one the forest's creatures to swallow the metal henchman whole. He gets better.
  • In the animated film The Pirates of Tortuga: Under the Black Flag during Anne Bonny's fight with Blackbeard at one point, Blackbeard has Anne pinned down by her coat and is about to smash her with a support beam when suddenly she notices a loose plank beneath her. She hits it and it nails him in the groin, causing him to fall to his knees in pain and the support beam to fall on his head.
  • In The Princess and the Frog one of the frog hunters tries to shoot Naveen, and instead nearly shoots another hunter in the crotch (it was a near-miss that just tore the groin off his trousers, and it could have been worse: Tiana prevented the guy from getting shot in the face).
  • Near the beginning of Rango, after the hawk picks up the jar Rango was hiding from her in and drops it from a great height to break it open, the jar lands on a toad, making him angry and trying to attack Rango, telling him that he's going to "strangle his huevos" note . Ironically, only male mammals have "huevos", and reptiles like Rango himself don't.
  • Recess: School's Out: Spinelli, when attempting to escape with her friends from the villainous group after being caught and stumbling upon the bald Enforcer, shouts "Get off our planet, alien scum!" and headbutts him in the family jewels.
  • In Rio during the fight with the marmosets, Jewel uses the chain she and Blu are chained together with to whip Mauro the leader of the marmosets in the groin when he tries to get at Blu. As he crumples over in pain, as a visual gag two jewels come out of his mouth.
  • In Rugrats in Paris, when all the ninjas fall over themselves after Phil and Lil throw goo all over the floor, a fat ninja gets kicked in the nuts.
  • In Rugrats Go Wild!, when Nigel Thornberry falls of the cliff, he is stopped halfway by landing on a tree branch, with one leg on either side.
  • In The Secret Life of Pets 2, Max does this to Sergei by biting his crotch during the climax after the former breaks into the train locomotive to save the tiger Hu.
  • Shrek
    • Not an attack per se, but the title character of Shrek takes a groin shot while he, Fiona, and Donkey are escaping from the dragon's castle (Shrek's holding the smaller two while sliding down a stone banister that has a large bump appropriately placed). His eyes cross, but (being an ogre) he shakes it off more quickly than a human would.
    • Shrek 4D: Fiona gives Thelonius a particularly brutal kick to it by stomping on one of the logs holding the raft together, which she apologizes for right after.
    • Shrek 2 has Donkey accidentally nailing Shrek in the groin while trying to kick Puss in Boots, causing the poor ogre to slump to the ground holding his crotch in pain.
      Donkey: Did I miss?
      Shrek: No, you got them.
    • And in Shrek the Third, Donkey kicks Shrek in the balls intentionally, while he and Puss In Boots were trying to convince a guy that Shrek was in a suit.
      Shrek: If it were real, that would have been agonizingly painful.
    • Happens to Shrek again in Scared Shrekless, courtesy of a possessed Pinocchio.
  • The Simpsons Movie:
  • In Smurfs: The Lost Village, Smurfette gives Clumsy Smurf a kick in the groin to knock the apple off the top of his hat.
  • Superman/Batman: Apocalypse: Wonder Woman to Granny Goodness.
  • The Unstable Fables series of films has several.
    • In "3 Pigs and a Baby", (from an animation company many of you have probably never heard of), it happens twice. When one Musical Comedy Wolf is training with a punching bag dummy, he punches it with all his might. Unfortunately for the Wolf, the Punching bag dummy recoils back and nails him right in the groin. During the last battle, the Big Boss Wolf is fighting against Mad Scientist Dr. Wolfowitz. When the Wolfowitz goes down, his tail takes over the battle (which is apparently its own living being), hitting the Boss Wolf in the hands. After dodging the tail's attacks, it eventually nails the Boss wolf right in the groin (though he recovers quickly and defeats the Tail).
    • In Tortoise vs Hare, a stick figure lands on his crotch during a video for the race.
    • In The Goldilocks & The Three Bears Show, when the bears' house is infested with bees, Mac Bear attempts to fight them off, but slams into a cabinet, knocking him to the ground. Then, the cabinet falls in between his legs.
  • In Disney's The Wild, Nigel the koala jumps from a tree branch and lands on a metal fence. "Who put that bar there?"
  • Wonder Woman (2009):
    • Diana does this to Steve when they first meet (right after they have a brief sparring match in which Steve says that he thinks he "likes her"). Artemis also threatens to castrate him herself if he doesn't leave Diana alone.
    • Also in the opening by a couple of Amazons; seems Jewel Kick is a standard Amazon skill.
