Weekend Discussion Thread: Most Disgusting Movie Moments

What we’re looking for are the moments that make you go “ewwww!”

Here are my top ten, in episode order:
• 312- GAMERA VS. GUIRON: Gaos gets carved into cold cuts. Weird and hideous.
• 405- BEING FROM ANOTHER PLANET: T.A. puts his hand in Egyptian hand killing junk–Effective makeup, effectively icky.
• 418- ATTACK OF THE THE EYE CREATURES: Any scene with two leering peepers–Ugh!
• 506- EEGAH!: the shaving scene–The horrible giant tongue puts it over the top.
• 512- MITCHELL: the love scene–I often wonder if the filmmakers were trying for sexy or nauseating?
• 513- THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE: Zippy disarms the doctor–Probably the most splatter of any MSTed movie.
• 704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN: the ear on the bush–effective, drippy Rick Baker makeup, brings out the “eww!” factor.
• 812- THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES: any scene with Ortega–He just looks nasty is what I’m sayin’.
• 1003- MERLIN’S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS: any shot of Borgnine’s giant midsection–It’s got a mind of its own!
• 1012- SQUIRM: the first time the worms overwhelm a character–I give them credit, that is genuinely creepy.

What are yours?

    Space Mutiny–Lea Jansen and Dave Ryder getting it on, and Lea shaking her groove thang at the disco.

    Boggy Creek II–any scene with Old Man Crenshaw.

    Time Chasers–Nick and Lisa kissing, and Nick with mud all over his butt.

    Mitchell–Mitchell and Linda Evans getting it on, and we see baby oil on the nightstand.

    Final Sacrifice–the shirtless Rowsdower.

    Batwoman–the girl being led around by a leash, and any scene with Heathcliff.

    The The Eye Creatures–any scene with the drifter wearing the nightdress.

    Deathstalker–when the chick searches Deathstalker for weapons and her face is hovering over his crotch, and Deathstalker is obviously enjoying it. Blech!

    Manos–Debbie becoming one of the Master’s wives. Implied child sex slavery is not cool, people! :sad:

    the drug dealer next-door neighbor of the John McEnroe-look-alike dad in “Merlin” digging out the ear wax with his napkin and tossing it on the table; “Cash Flag” aka Jerry from the Zombies digging out an eye-booger; the retired attorney (?) from Boggy Creek whose wife is hosing human waste off his pant leg; the hurling Jody (I too drove a Chevy Maverick) from Touch of Satan; and Alan Hale in “Spiders”, acting with his tongue. Great! Now I have no appetite for the big family dinner tonight!

    Godizilla vs. Megalon. There seems to be something unwholesome about the little kid hanging around with the two bachelor dudes.

    Actually, everything about that little kid is pretty creepy…

  6. ck says:

    There seems to be an (obviously correct)
    consensus that one of the “most disgusting
    movie moments” was the ending of Manos
    with Debbie as a future harem member. Should
    MST have cut that last scene out (which
    would also have left out Crow’s excellent
    observation) or would that have been as
    unsettling to viewers (whatever happened to Debbie?).

    Lost Continent: Sid Melton’s bulbous, MOIST, pallid butt cheeks in their extended close up. I love how the actor in the background dissolves in a mixture of amusement and horror. Cesar Romero’s reaction is great too. I rewound this bit a few times in horrified disbelief that it had been allowed to stay in the film.

    Time of the Apes: the scene where the ape guards fondle the tied woman’s hair.

    Santa Claus Conquers the Martians: for some reason, I become enraged at the ridiculously pathetic costume on the polar bear.

    Space Travelers: Gene Hackman’s extended hysterical breakdown[s]. just JETTISON the guy already!

    Attack of the Giant Leeches: Thunder Husband watching floozy wife applying Nair. it’s icky.

    Tormented: Tom Stewart’s [‘killed me!’] and young girl sister-of-the-bride Sandy’s clandestine Oedipal friendship.

    Attack of the [the] Eye Creatures: of course the peeping goons, but when Stan Kenyon [‘Stan Kenton- wow!’] remarks on how all of his girlfriend’s parts in her new dress are ‘All MINE.’ eewww… and bulbous-eyed Peter Lorre guy ogling the Laverne-esque beehived waitress. hold on-I just gagged a little…bluh- oh! and giant shiny headed oily Colonel in his leopard print robe. and the close up of the army guy at the beginning with the immense, brutal scar!

    Monster-A-Go-Go: scene between stranded nymphomaniacal motorist and lumpy, mumbly truck driver. it isn’t the concept of the scene; the interaction between these two is just really icky.

    Human Duplicators: his giant tongue in Eegah has already been enshrined in the Ewww! hall of fame, but I find Richard Kiel’s playboy from space FM radio voice very disturbing. it takes on an especially revolting ‘sexy’ timbre in the scenes with the blind niece.

    Girl in Lover’s Lane: Jack Elam being flirtatious makes me desperately uncomfortable.

    Painted Hills: lying thief Taylor mistreating Shep/Lassie. yes, I know it’s only a movie. yes, the dog wasn’t really harmed. but this guy just keeps abusing her. and when he feeds her the poisoned food I want to leap through the screen and make HIM eat Alpo laced with rat poison.

    Wild Wild World of Batwoman: so much in this film is frightening and has been mentioned, but the scene where the blonde amazon is making out with the guy at the beach -ENDLESSLY- makes my stomach churn.

    Alien from L.A.: yes, she is very pretty. no, it probably wasn’t her fault that she had to talk in that awful voice. no, she can’t act, and neither can I. but for god’s sake, please: NO MORE lingering close-ups of Kathy Ireland’s vacant, rolling, bulbous, staring, key-lit eyes!

    Atomic Brain: Mrs. March examining her future transplanted female bodies. she pokes at the one woman with her stick while the clueless girl grins moronically. Mrs. March is icky.

    Santa Claus: I find the giant, pulsating disembodied mouth almost more disturbing than the cackling robot reindeer. the childrens’ songs at the beginning, meant to beguile, make me want to run out of the room.

    Skydivers: Beth’s shellacked black crash helmet hair scares me. and the idiot guy making out with the weathered brunette floozy. ick.

    Starfighters: I sit anew at each viewing in slack-jawed horror at the frolicking of a young ‘B-2’ Bob Dornan.

    Sinister Urge: Gloria Henderson!

    Laserblast: the fat girl whining while eating sheet cake and Rainbeaux Smith’s bruises.

    Parts: the Clonus Horror: Lena’s almost very pretty but disturbingly truncated face.

    Jack Frost: stepmother daughter. her unibrow. she’s always eating. her booming voice. she reminds me of all the girls I was bullied by in elementary school. she is one scary mamma jamma.

    Devil Doll: the Great Vorelli is a piece of work, but Hugo’s scene where he sits in his cage and slowly looks to the side. creeps me out every time.

    The Space Children: Uncle Fester in zebra swim trunks.

    Hobgoblins: the attempt to make elfin pink shorts wearing guy exhibit heterosexual lust for gravelly voiced phone sex fantasy woman.

    The Touch of Satan: the mom’s disturbing hairdo.

    Devil Fish: slow-motion island sex romp between emaciated blonde woman and electrician guy.

    Quest of the Delta Knights: the pee-throwing.

    Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders: Jonathan, who accurately eerily embodies all of those horrible hyper-egotistical yuppie guys who were suddenly everywhere in the 1980s.

    Track of the Moon Beast: the long close up of Kathy ‘thinking’. I want to find her pretty- I really do- but the closer we get, the more terrifying her face becomes.

    Final Justice: all those extreme close ups of Joe Don Baker’s fleshy mug!

    It Lives By Night: any time Mary Tyler Less and future bat husband indulge in lustful banter. especially when she tells his mother he was ‘fabulous.’

    Shorts:
    Junior Rodeo Daredevils’ torture of animals and youngsters alike. the tiny calves straining while being ridden by the lanky adolescents; the wounded kids limping away while the ‘crowd goes wild.’
    General Hospital: the engagement party, saturated in misery. [the week-old cake is funny, though.] the creepy chiseled doctor with the vacant gray eyes. his character is very disturbing, somehow!
    Body Care and Grooming: Hitler Youth kid on the bench, disapprovingly ogling the supposedly unkempt young woman. I want her to poke him in the eye with her pencil.
    Circus on Ice in its entirety is rough, but the death of the fawn and the dragon-killing.
    Why Study Industrial Arts?: the lead fellow’s undisguised canker sore. he’s quite a nice looking lad apart from- the giant, dark sore on this lip.
    Century 21 Calling: the frolics of the Manifest Destiny teens. her perma-smile and those little bows…
    the winner though is ‘Catching Trouble.’ I love animals and I just can’t watch this one.

    I strayed off-topic a few times so I offer these. they are not in episode order; apologies.

    the ‘Crawling Eye’ creatures still spook me as much as they did when I was a kid. those rolling, questing orbs- those black wiry tentacles- their gooey, smoky death…

    Ross Hagen with his shirt unbuttoned three buttons too many. and his meticulously arranged golden Donald Trump ‘do.

    Icky Elf Buzz putting the make on the obviously uncomfortable Michelle. and the scene where he spews drug-jive at pusher dressed like Sonny Bono. he’s ickier than the slimy crime guys, which is quite a feat.

    the drunken father from ‘High School Big Shot.’ he makes lustful quips about his kid’s underage date. when he flops onto the table in a boozy stupor. and god- the giant liver lips on the kid!

    Bloodlust: the scene where Robert Reed picks leeches off of the Poindexter guy. and Reed’s unpleasantly snug shirt.

    Hellcats: the scene where the cute woman is killed while the Hawaiian music tinkles in the background.

    and of course the vile antics of body-shopping Dr. Bill Cortner.

    Probably the most disgusting effects in the MST-ed movies for me are the “Incredible Melting Man” effects and the goopy gray fungus the victims transform into in “Agent for H.A.R.M”

    Other disgusting moments include the scientist transforming himself into a fish creature in “Blood Waters of Dr. Z” and Crenshaw pensively stroking his beard in “Boggy Creek II”. Of course, any scene involving Crenshaw is disgusting, but I’m additionally grossed out by long beards, so that was sort of a disgusting double-whammy.

    Hmm, once again in no particular order (since I’m coming up with these off the top of my head at work):
    1. EEGAH – Shirtless Arch Hall Jr.
    2. DEVILFISH – Plenty of dismembered bodies thanks to the title character, not to mention the fish fry at the end. Quoth Crow, “The sheriff’s official report simply said ‘Ick!'”
    3. MERLIN’S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS – Merlin’s wife threatening him with sex.
    4. INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN – The little shorts. THE LITTLE SHORTS! *Cries*
    5. ANGEL’S REVENGE – The beach scene when the women pretend to seduce the drug dealers. M&tB throw up, so do I.
    6. AGENT FOR HARM – Any time Adam Chance tries to get romantic.
    7. SQUIRM – The worms burrowing into Roger’s face (cut from the MST3K version).
    8. WILD WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN – Any time Tiger tries to dance.
    9. THE ATOMIC BRAIN – When Bea is stumbling through the house and removes her blindfold to expose her open eye socket (mostly because I hate having my eyes examined).
    10. DEATHSTALKER – Any time Deathstalker sucks face with the potato girl.

  19. Roger’s father’s wormy stomach in SQUIRM!

    Watching Doctor Courtner’s arm get ripped off in The Brain That Wouldn’t Die.

    Watching Johnathan turn incredibly old, cuts his wife’s arm for blood and drinks it, in Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders.

    Leah and Ryder making out in Space Mutiny!

    Of course…TORGO!

    I’m surprized no one has mentioned this one. In “Outlaw”, the sleazy, icky friend of our hero Cabot. He lusts after the evil queen, who pretends to lust after him in order to help with the murder of her husband. He looks pretty satisfied with himself later, so I can only imagine that they really did …….. I have to go now.

    1. The fusion spittle experiment in season K.

    2.The close-up scene in Phase 4 where an ant excretes something from its’ posterior that resembles a baby maggot. One of the bots remarked, “I hope nobody at home is eating rice.”

    The existance of the stinky (yer hittin’ the BOOZE!) farmer in Giant Spider Invasion is profane and disgusting in and of itself. Anything he does is therefore by definition even more disgusting.But the king of the ick moments is when he surprises his niece and then chases her while threatening to spank her, while she accuses him of “getting his jollies” from spanking her. I don’t want to know anything about how this man gets his jollies, and insinuations of sadomasochistic incest push the whole situation way past the “I need a shower NOW!) marker. Thank heaven a giant spider ate him (appropriately) with his butt. In the words of Tom Servo, “I think I’m going to go throw up all over myself now”

    You know, I’m going to go WAY out on a limb and bring something new…”The Creeping Terror”‘s embarassingly horrible dance hall scene. From the “divorceè” shakin’ more than the lord ever intended to give; to the absolutely painful dancing (and I use that term loosely) by the lame white guy with no rhythm. While not disgusting in the traditional sense, but man, this made me sick watching it.

    Haven’t read all of these yet, so I hope someone mentioned the scene where our heroes boat out into the blood waters to try and net Dr. Z, only to catch…SOMETHING which prompts a joke about them catching a giant turd. This seems like a cheap poop joke at first, but that line of thought prompts one to think about what else it could really have been, and, well…

    Considering that it did come off the good Doc’s new acquatic Trumpy bod, all the other possibilities are actually even MORE disgusting. Guess that’s why it stuck with me. (shudder)

    The outhouse scene in “Boggy Creek II” but for different reasons than most. First off the wife looks like a female Joe Don Baker, actually just Joe Don Baker in a Moo-Moo. But also she has some gross dandruff or something in her hair that just weirds me out.
