Un chien andalou clip(s)

I read in a review that Kaboom contains one or more clips from the famous 1929 Luis Buñuel-Salvador Dalí surrealist short film Un chien andalou. Can anyone who's seen Kaboom tell me if those clips include the famous eyeball-slicing shot? If so, I think I'll stay away. There are very few limits to what I'm willing to watch on a movie screen, but that particular shot is one of them. I saw it once, and that was enough for one lifetime.

Thanks for your help on this.

Oh come on, that's not a horrible scene. To my recollection they just slice a goat eyeball in the hollowed out eye socket of a cute girl. Sounds like a good time, doesn't it other people? Go check it out. :D Un Chien Andalou is a must see for surrealism appreciators and classic movie buffs. n.n

I'll check this movie out for you and report which clips are used. Ciao.

It shows cutting of the eye briefly. Not a plot point, so if you watch the movie, you can just not look for those few seconds. It is about 7-8min in while he is in film class, and it is preceded by other bits of film.
