Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Just a Flesh Wound


One of the best-known scenes of the entire Monty Python film series. We might not see the Black Knight actually die, but it's just too good to pass up. What really makes this scene funny is how King Arthur becomes increasingly annoyed, his dialogue lapses from medieval ("You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.") to modern ("Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!"), and finally to just plain sarcastic ("What are you gonna do, bleed on me?!").

District 9 - Venter Gets Ripped Apart


As Wikus is crawling out of the wrecked battle suit, our antagonist Koobus Venter, the sadistic mercenary with a dislike for prawns finally catches up with him. As Venter prepares to kill Wikus, several enraged aliens quickly surround him. Venter fires off a couple rounds before the creatures get close, but the aliens overpower and grab him. One of the prawns grabs Venter's head and forcefully rips it off, soon after the other aliens converge and dismember his body limb from limb. If you look closely you can see one of the aliens trying to eat Venter's head.

2001 Maniacs - Quartering


Remake to Herschell Gordon Lewis’ cult classic 2000 Maniacs. Back in the 1960s, Herschell Gordon Lewis, along with partner and frequent collaborator David Friedman, revolutionized horror by creating the "splatter film." Absurd plots, buckets of blood, and dismembered body parts pushed the subgenre into popularity. While not technically "good", Lewis' films were hits and have since taken their place in the pantheon of classic horror cinema. 2001 Maniacs tries to capture the "quality" of the original and succeeds. The blood, the boobs, the gore, and the comedy are all there. In this scene(a remake of a death from the original), our victim is tied at each limb to four separate horses. A man cracks a whip and each of her appendages are torn off at the chest, we see each rip as she screams and spits out blood in glorious B movie drive-in fashion.
