Most brutal images on film


I do like the Rob Zombie films and Saving Private Ryan. However, the true gore and brutality was almost too much to handle in this one. SPOILERS I mean, so we really need to see someone's limbs chopped off and their bodies being catapulted into a building? Or someone chopping off someone's arm and then killing another person with it?

That's authentic frontier gibberish.

The movie was trying to get across how brutal and violent medieval warfare could be. If men are swinging large sharp melee weapons into each-others flesh, the result isn't going to be pretty. Other than Marshall cleaving that enemy down to the waist and afew other scenes, the damage done was not too over the top.

Films like LOTR prefer not to show blood and the Orcs just seem to fall over dead upon coming into contact with a sword, but this is no family movie.

I wish every movie from these periods were as brutal. THAT is one of the biggest ways to show how very heinous warfare was back then.

In physical combat you had to literally fight for your life. Hack, slash, kick, claw, bite--anything.

I'm convinced now. I'm watching this. Thank you, sir. I'm afraid that real "war movies" are not really what you would enjoy though. Superheroes movies and dinosaurs movies in the PG13 area would be more fun to watch for you.

Not even remotely.

WORDS MEAN THINGS! Also, before you come to bitch about a plot hole, rewatch the show/movie.

When you swing a 2.5 foot sword that weighs nearly 5lbs, you have to expect some gore...I found it very realistic

reply

Realistic is one thing Ironclad is not, in any respect. Lots of blood and severed body parts do not make ludicrous weaponry, absurd tactics and idiotic effects 'realistic'.

reply

you have your opinion...I have mine

reply

Quite.
By that standard, the Black Knight's duel in Monty Python and the Holy Grail would be cutting-edge realism...

And even in Holy Grail Arthur didn't pick up one of his limbs and whack him over the head with the soggy end.

reply

To be fair though, it was the only halfway decent joke in the entire film.
