Greatest Grabbing-Testicles Scenes in Cinema History

Alright..now, all homoerotic insinuations and suspicions aside...

Whenever a star grabs someone's testicles in a movie -- it makes me more than a bit queasy -- but sometimes, SOMETIMES, it's like the coolest thing ever put on celluloid. I'm thinking specifically of Mississippi Burning, when Gene Hackman grabs KKK man Michael Rooker's testicles, and utters the coolest line in the film.

This is the defining, coolest grabbing-testicles scene I've ever witnessed.

• Suddenly, I'm very afraid for Vinnie Jones in X3...

• Another one that comes to mind is The Beach. I got nothing against Leo DiCaprio...but it was a pretty cool scene when that beach-boy dude grabs Leo's testicles through his shorts. Leo's acting here is among his best work, I think.



• L.A. Confidential's yet another -- where Russell Crowe yanks the ex-goon's sack in the bar to get some info out of him.



• Chuck Bronson versus the Bar-Room Neanderthal in The Evil that Men Do:
  
  "Right now, he's trying to make you aware of your own mortality."
  
  :: SQUELCH ::



• "What's wrong McFly, got no scrot?"
  
  -- Chick (in Griff's gang) to Marty McFly, Jr.



• The Street Fighter, when Sonny Chiba rips it off. Chiba de-packaging that goon was absolutely stunning. I cringed, I laughed, I approved.



• And The Big Red One, where Marvin chucks one away.

Anyone care to submit any?

 

I wonder how long this will last.

Doesn't Oliver Reed grab someone's balls in Galdiator- the guy who sold him "queer" giraffes?

 

Have to pop that one in and double-check it. But Reed's role was dripping with submerged manlove.


The Serpent and the Rainbow also boasts some great cock-smashing action.

Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy has a landmark junk grab.

***Spoilers***

Near the end, when Dr. Cooper is being forced by Don to take the Gleemonex, Dr. Cooper holds the pill in his mouth, and proceeds to grab the evil CEO's dangly bits in slow motion. This causes Don to yell in pain (as any man would), giving Cooper the opportunity to launch the pill into the offender's mouth. Surely this is a life-saving technique we should all take note of.

Obviously a high-water mark in Testicular-Grabbing scenes.

*** End Spoilers***

 

I thought this was going to be about Sin City

 

Well, I can't remember that many...

-The bathroom fight scene in Terminator 3
-The scene in Fight Club, but it isn't really grabbing more like feeling.

But the one I do remember is from a videogame, and is probably one of my favorites.

-In Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons of Liberty, the captive President Johnson grabs your Players (Raiden's) crotch. Who knows why, maybe to see if you are a man, since your character is very girly looking.

-Again in Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater, This time you are playing as Naked Snake. Your disquise however is a mask that looks like Raiden. Ivan Raidenovich's gay lover, Col. Volgin comes up to you and grabs you. He then figures out that you are not Raidenovich and beats the crap out of you for killing him.

2 classic scenes in 2 of my all time favorite games.

 

Well, if you must....

The late, great Steve James as Curtis Jackson in "American Ninja", after grabbing random bad guy in said area:

"Yeah! How do you like that, Numb Nuts?"

That's one of the more painful ones.

 

A few more that just came to me:

• Hands down, another one happens to be Gloria Hendry on some random punk, in Black Belt Jones.



• Dirty Work has the some best nut-grabbing ever put to film.



• I don't know about actual grabbing, but Quaid in Total Recall gets his junk punched and stomped like two or three times. Those hits are great, because of Arnie's painful expressions and cries. Either "EINNNN!!" or "AIIINNN!!"



• Highlander II: The Quickening has a GREAT scene right near the end, where Michael Ironside abruptly reaches out, and just grabs himself a heapin' helpin' of John C. McGinley's lower-package zone. Raises him high into the air with his massive area-grip, squeezing all the way, then tosses him through a gigantic plate glass window, McGinley falling 50 stories to his death.
  
  This scene is VERY truncated in the theatrical cut, with the entire exchange leading UP to the Ironside scrot-seizure chopped out; the scene makes MUCH more sense in the "Renegade Version" director's cut. You can see the veins on McGinley's neck simply BULGING like a bull as he screams in manly pain...clearly he put a lot of work into this role, one of the true bravura performance moments of that year.

 

Amphitheatre, home of high brow arts discussion. And the testicle grabbing movie scenes thread.

 

Indeed. The best "testicle grabbing scene" = Hartigan tearing That Yellow Bastard's yellow, deformed junk clean off. Easily.

 

Reagan, in "The Exorcist", grabs the testicles of a therapist before the Priests get involved.

 

Lest we not forget Michael Jackson grabbing his won scrotum sack.

I believe that he does it for two reasons...

1) So that he can hit the high notes.
2) So that he can try and remember what it was like to have a "package."

I guess you also have to remember all of the ghetto rappers out there who have to squeeze it just remind themselves that they still have something to grab.

Morons!!!

 

Not really grabbing, but still highly painful. A guy in the movie 8 Seconds gets thrown by a bucking bull and then the bull steps on his croctch. [face_pain]

 

The TX in Terminator 3 grabs Arnie's crotch in the bathroom fight scene.

 

Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice

 

Bill Paxton gets his nuts grabbed in Predator 2. Perhaps one of the finer moments from that film...

 

Christian Bale gets his grabbed by a one-armed man in The Machinist.

 

Sonny Chibas' in " Street Fighter " has to be the most gruesome. Im pretty sure that Takashi Miike has a few testicle wrenchers in some of his films. I cant be 100 % on that however sinve Im usually in an alternate state when watching his films.

 

Braindead boasts a nice package-squeeze or two.

Wasn't there at least one in A Clockwork Orange? (Thinking specifically of the waterfront-scene, plus maybe a couple others.)

I recall seeing testicles quite severely squished in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Actually, I almost kind of liked that film, probably because I wasn't expecting to one scintilla.

Still...was gonna go with Banderas's grab as the "bigger" one than Bronson's, but then I remembered that Bronson has the larger hands.

Thus, the larger ratio of fist-to-manoyster.

 

Amphitheatre, home of high brow arts discussion. And the testicle grabbing movie scenes thread.

I can imagine someone having a field-day with psychoanalytical jargon, and the invocation of notions such as that which pertains to the "male fear of castration."

While these scenes aren't specifically ones in which a character's testicles are grabbed, I shall humor you with a few rather grisly variations of the "theme" being explored in this thread (we don't need to engage in semantics):

- At the end of Nagisa Oshima's 1976 film In the Realm of the Senses, Eiko Matsuda's character (who has been subjugated throughout the entire film) castrates her husband, played by Tatsuya Fuji. The actual indicident occurs on-screen (in close-up, no less), as Oshima grapically depicts the sexual mutilation; needless to say, this isn't a film for the faint-hearted (this is the picture's most gruesome sequence, but not necessarily its most shocking). Yes, this was based on a true story - reassuring, wouldn't you say?

- There is a particularly nasty sequence in Kirby Dick's (don't snicker) harrowing, yet very effective 1997 portrait of professional masochist Bob Flanagan, a many dying of cystic fibrosis, entitled Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist. The scene of "note" involves Flanagan sticking a nail through his genitals as an exhibitionist act; the fact that this movie is a documentary, and thus unsimulated, makes this moment even more disturbing to regard (yes, it is very gory - beware spurting blood).

- Barbet Schroeder's film Maitresse, from 1975, contains a scene similar to the one detailed above; despite the fact that Schroeder's picture is fictionalized, and featuring marquee actors such as Gerard Depardieu, the scene in question is not simulated (according to the director himself, they used actual sadomasochists). Again, not for the easily offended.

- My final submission is from a more mainstream film, Quentin Tarantino's 1994 Pulp Fiction, in which a certain character (who shall remain nameless) gets his bits "blown off." How disquieting.

Still...was gonna go with Banderas's grab as the "bigger" one than Bronson's, but then I remembered that Bronson has the larger hands.

Uhhhhh.....

 

I saw In the Realm of the Senses. Quite graphic.

Actually, Leto II, there is a website (believe it or not) that is dedicated to movies that feature scenes of testicle stabbings, kneeings, punching, kicking, and bitings.

Don't ask me how I came across it.

 

I watched "Grease" the other day, and there is a part where Danny goes to slap high fives with two of his friends, but at the last minute, goes low and grabs both of them in that area.

It's pretty funny.
