I saw the beginning of The Graduate and gave it up... the hero was a big let-down and I guess in the end his qualities as a hero were fairly questionable anyway, so I hear. I couldn't believe it when the cornered and frightened young man just went ahead and jumped in the sack with the creepy older woman. I know Anne Bancroft was supposed to be glamorous but I don't see it in this film.


That was the thing about The Graduate -- Braddock definitely isn't really the 'hero' in the film because he is a stupid, annoying little turd. I can't imagine what Anne Bancroft's character saw in the little wretch.


Well, heck, maybe they deserved each other! :lol: Which makes me feel rather sorry for the daughter...

Blazing Saddles is probably it for me, but only because I don't watch many offensive movies. I still love it though.

Every single American teen / college movie, except for American Pie and Road Trip.

These movies are just so shallow, and about parties, getting high, drunk and laid with fake blondes. So stupid...

Some of the most offensive lines are the funniest because of who says them and when, LOL!

When I first saw "Clockwork Orange" back in the seventies, I thought it was the most offensive thing ever committed to film. I also completely missed the point of it. Now I have a copy on the shelf (big Kubrick fan) and I think it's an unsung masterpiece.

The most offensive film I ever saw is about a Magician. Help me here kiddies, the memory is fading ... The director is mentioned in that cutesy movie about the teenager who gets pregnant and decides to keep the baby. At one point she's talking to the man who is the husband of the woman who might adopt her baby and they start talking about this obscure director. The film concerns a Magician who hypnotizes his subjects and the audience, then slits the belly open of the subject on stage and runs his hand through her intestines as they spill out. You want offensive? THAT'S offensive. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Yikes! If you feel sick even hearing about it, it's safe to say it's pretty offensive.

Was that called Wizard Of Gore? If so, it was a remake of a scumbag movie of the same name, directed by the biggest scumbag movie director of all time, Lewis Herschel Gordon.
I only know of the movie, and the original, by reputation.

It's a rather psychopathic way of communicating that message don't you think?

The Saw movies are really very tame compared to some of the material that comes out of countries like Japan, for instance. Whereas the Saw series of films were all passed uncut here in the UK, the Japanese torture film Grotesque was rejected outright by the BBFC.

The synopsis of Grotesque is as follows (from Wikipedia);

young couple Aki and Kazuo (Tsugumi Nagasawa and Hiroaki Kawatsure) are snatched off the street while having their first date as a romantic couple after a few years working in the same office, and wake up shackled in a scary basement, which has all its walls covered with plastic. With no further explanation, a sadistic madman (Shigeo Ōsako) degrades, tortures and mutilates them. Initially, he punctures Kazuo's belly with a screwdriver and slices his tongue, then rapes both, one at a time, forcing the other to watch. Sometimes he stops the torture to provide medical assistance and cure the couple's wounds, so they can continue alive for a long period of time. This way he cuts off all their fingers, makes collars with them, pops out Kazuo's right eye, removes the girl's nipples and cuts off her right arm.

As the torture progresses, it is revealed he is simply doing it for sexual stimulation, and tells the couple he wants the two to survive. After the most sadistic and gruesome tortures, he finally castrates Kazuo, claiming he has found all the sexual relief he needs, so no longer needs the couple's "services". Then the couple is moved to a room which resembles a modern and clean hospital room, where the psycho takes care of the couple's wounds.

While it is never explicitly mentioned on the movie, it becomes gradually apparent that the man has professional medical training, refined manners, taste for classical music and good wines and dressed with expensive clothes when he is not in surgeon dress torturing the couple. At some point he even mentions he's a very wealthy man, which suggests he may be a reputable surgeon, not just a common psycho on the loose, looking for an extreme and different way to obtain satisfaction on his lonely life. However, the couple also notes the doctor has a particular rotting smell always present behind his clean and elegant appearance. After several days healing, the "doctor" simply tells the couple they will be free to go, he will turn himself to authorities and, as apology for all the suffering he inflicted to the couple, he will give them all his fortune which seems to be very large, as compensation. After all the horror, in a moment alone in the hospital room, Aki and Kazuo promises to support each other once they leave the place and become a formal couple.

It is unclear if the madman changed his mind, or if playing with the couple's hopes to survive and being released soon was part of his mischievous plan from the beginning, but immediately after communicating to them they will be released, the next scene takes back the couple to the scary basement. After being drugged, they are shackled again, exactly as they were the first time. The "doctor" announces they must participate in one final test of love strength. He pulls out an extreme of Kazuo's intestines and attaches them to a hook. If Kazuo is able to cross the room to the other side (pulling off his entire intestines out of his body in the process), take a scissors and cut Aki's ropes to release her, both will be finally free. However, Kazuo fails due to blood loss and falls to the ground, agonizing. Aki begins to insult the doctor, telling him he is just the son of a whore that nobody cares about, and insists despite his refined manners and expensive clothes, he has an unusual and unbearable skunk odor, no matter how hard the tries to cover the stench. Angered, the doctor cuts off Aki's head in response and as her head falls down, it lands on the man's neck and bites him with her final breath. Kazuo on the floor, not dead yet, stabs him in the foot with the scissors as a supreme last action. The couple then dies facing each other.

In the epilogue of the film, the madman is revealed to have survived what happened to him in the basement, although he cannot walk properly. He's in a quiet forest where he respectfully buries the couple next to each other in a traditional Japanese way, leaving the scissors on their tombs as a symbol. The next scene shows him back in the same car he used to kidnap the couple, covering himself with lots of perfume to hide his skunk stench while a girl is walking by, and the screen cuts to black as he goes after his next victim.

Apart from that, a scene in The Hills Have Eyes where a baby is threatened with a gun really annoyed me, as did the animal killings in Cannibal Holocaust; still, I'm all for horror


Yes, "Two Girls, One Cup" can count in this thread as being an offensive movie.


What exactly is 2 Girls, 1 Cup?
