What year did Hollywood declare war on the human neck?


Just a few years ago stabbings and shootings in the neck on TV or in movies were rare but today it seems like about 80% are in the neck? Can anyone pinpoint the movie or show or year this all started with? Or am I imagining it?

Casino (1995)

That's a good example but I think the OP was referring to a more recent trend.

Good early example! Scorsese is the one to blame for starting it. lol

I guess I'm hyper sensitive to neck stabbing for some reason...it really gets to me. It seems like lately every movie or show drama now has at least one neck stabbing/shooting, maybe the act was more censored years ago or writers are copycats.

I think it's starting from From Paris with Love (2010).
