When I originally saw this thread. I assumed that it was most violent scene in gangster/mafia movies. But going with that, I'd have to agree that any rape scene is kinda hard to watch. Often times because in contrast to a death scene you see the rape victim later on in the film. Where as when the person dies you don't. So I think it kinda has more of an effect on the audience. Once Upon A Time in America was crazy. I saw it on AMC like at 4am until 7am and it was uncut, which suprised me. I bought the Brazilian dvd of it. That movie's gruesome, but great. Also another scene that wasn't mentioned was in Godfather 3 when Vincent stabs that priest in the neck with his own glasses! Now that's gangster!
