Movies With Wicked Hectic Levels of Coughing / Choking


Ok guys I need your help!

This is not a bakers dozen - I need suggestions for movies, shows, vids, whatever, that prominently feature wicked hectic levels of whooping coughing and/or choking. Maybe there’s a character who’s a chimney sweep, or a crusty old heavy smoker, or a dying person - anything. Bonus points for multiple coughers / chokers at once.

For reasons. Do you know what this could mean for science? This could mean actual advances in the field of science.

Okthankyou babies I love u, bai. 💋

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but what about a movie where someone's come close to drowning? Castaway, Poseidon Adventure, sommat like that?

reply

Nonnie has several coughing fits in Poseidon! So does Mrs. Fatlady *- a coughing choking death scene too!!

Total Recall (1990)

reply

Oh yeah! LMAO choking so hard your EYES POP OUT LOOOOOL. What a scene! Love that movie, got to revisit. Good thinking!

reply

Gran Torino comes to mind. Clint Eastwood's character was terminally ill with lung cancer.

reply

That's what I'm talkinbout. Don't think I ever saw it. Will delve! My man.

That last sentence.

How wonderfully random of you zephyr. I'd love to know the reasons, but anyway here's some off the top of my scone:

Pineapple Express - bong cough
Two Hands - drug dealing granny with emphysema keels over after coughing fit
Heartbreakers - Gene Hackman hacking it up as Tensey the Tobacco Man
The Towering Inferno - A burning high rise will do that to ya... there's your multiple - bonus points please :)
The Delinquents - Kylie Minogue with a chest infection

reply

I'd love to know the reasons, me too! the mind boggles.

I too was about to offer up "Two Hands - drug dealing granny " , but you beat me to it. top film!

reply

Holy mackerel how are you guys popping these off so fast!

✅ BONG COUGHS! Fk yea. Doin' monster bong ripz.
✅ Coughing fit drug dealing granny? It's like they know me.
✅ When your name is Gene HACKMAN and you be hacking.
✅ "The Tobacco Man" ROFL
✅ Off the top of your scone dude, are you me?

Haven't seen any of these except Towering Inferno, thank you silverstone! Goo'boi.

The reason is, I'm collecting references for a project I'm involved in, and meanwhile trying to do some due diligence to check that an idea hasn't already been done before. Not at lib to say too much about it yet but it involves puppetry as usual and may or may not be highly ridiculous.

There is that Mouse Hunt movie from the 90s; where father chokes on a lovely bug for dinner at a fancy restaurant, ooh, la, la.

Then we have Buzz from Home Alone wanting to be the all-time cheese pizza eating champion, choking on his brother Kevin's beloved food, creating the scuffle for the ages of our time.

On Young Sheldon, the church secretary, Margaret, is an avid smoker who does not care one iota what other people think of her bad habit, even if it means making the office look like it has bright lights on.

Next on this list, we have those ever-comforting Germans stab each other in the back via chemical warfare in the ever grateful Wonder Woman film. For real though, Germans are a comforting people; saying that from my family's experience with a relative who had seen quite a lot in her lifetime.

In the Street Fighter movie from 1994, when sinister General M. Bison barely escapes the clutches of the heroes pursuing after him, he entraps the good-doers in a room where they succumb to a gas that incapacitates them into slumber, helping him further in his devious plan.

But for him, it was Tuesday.

The movie kicks so much butt in the humor department. All its other shortcomings are forgiven. Raul Julia, who plays Bison, chews up the scenery. When you really think about it, the story could readily double for any GI Joe adventure.

I'm blown away by how you guys are able to come up with so many of these so quickly.
Many thanks twin. Will definitely be delving into all of these. N a m a s t e.

Btw I like your lil glyph. Is that a person on fire?

>>This post contains possible spoilers.

It helps re-watching movies all the time, really catching a lot of small details that can easily be overlooked.

Your last sentence -- you mean my signature at the end? Oh, it's Superman, with his cape trailing behind him! It can also be Captain Underpants. Take your pick.

Some other criteria that fits your bill too:

The first XXX movie with Vin Diesel, encountering those "Anarchy 99" dudes who have an entire team of scientists asphyxiate to their deaths using some kind of chemical agent which targets the human immune system. The woman present in the scene has a disturbed look on her face, safely behind sealed glass as a bystander watching others suffer. Spooky stuff.

In one of the season 4 episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise Archer & crew has to stop Khan's favorite children, so to speak, from venting their puberty-esque sense of genetic superiority (heroes of their own narrative syndrome) on the rest of the peanut gallery. At one point this example, also involving scientists too, yay them, guinea pig one of their white-coated buddies; being encased into a transparent tube before becoming exposed to an awful viral pathogen. Poor sod did not stand a chance, ouchie!

There is also a Cold Case episode depicting a Russian girl with an opera background left for dead from suspected foul play by way of poisoning. It's a tearjerker episode (all of them are really), so have a tissue ready. It's called "Triple Threat" from season (series) 6 of the show.
