On Deadly Ground - Dr. Cox gets Splattered


Dr. Cox tries to pull a fast one on Steven Seagal in this scene from the 1994 film On Deadly Ground. MacGruder(John C. McGinley) tries the old "you can't kill me, you need need me" trick, but Steven Seagal doesn't need anybody, he's Steven fucking Seagal. So he Akidos his face into the tail rotor of helicopter.

Catch-22 - Propeller Scene

McWatt is flying over the beach in his plane when a gust of wind causes the aircraft to drop for a split second--just long enough for the propeller to slice Kid Sampson in half.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - German Mechanic gets splattered


The fistfight between Indy and the German Mechanic has taken on a new stomach-tightening dimension. The men are fighting and flailing in and out between the spinning props at the back of the plane's wings. Each man comes within inches of becoming instant mincemeat.

Breakout - Propeller Scene UNedited

"They didn't show it!"

We've all yelled it out before, your watching a movie on basic cable, anticipating your favorite gory or violent scene only to have your hopes crushed when you see it's edited to shreds or removed altogether. The part in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when the villain rips out the guys heart, the scene in Running Man when the prisoner's head explodes, the scene where Dennis Hopper is decapitated at the end of Speed, all edited when shown on TV. This scene from the 1975 Charles Bronson classic Breakout is one of them, only shown in the theatrical release, this scene has always been edited for television. Good thing this ain't TV.
