2. The Church Massacre - Kingsman: The Secret Service
The Moment: Billionaire maniac Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) performs a test on the members of a hate group in a Kentucky church, triggering their SIM cards to turn them, along with Kingsman agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth), into murderous, blood-thirsty lunatics. Cue Hart, the only one in the room with any actual combat experience, slaughtering everyone and emerging the only survivor, before Valentine then kills him. Why It's Controversial: There are those who simply appreciate the scene as a superbly-directed orgy of violence, while others have noted that the scene is more disturbing than fun, because though the hate group members are definitely a**holes, should we be cheering for their glorified, brutal deaths? Does that make us anymore tolerant than them? It's a cleverly-written scene because the mind control gimmick de-humanises the church members further and makes it seem more acceptable and cool, even if it's in fact completely horrifying.
