10 Movie Scenes That Went Too Far

8. Fight Club (1998) - Destroy Something Beautiful

No matter what you think of 30 Seconds to Mars, watching Jared Leto get his face mashed to a pulp by Edward Norton€™s character is pretty hard going. The scene is made more powerful by the spectators starting the scene by egging the narrator on, but then looking harrowed by what they have just witnessed as Jared Leto€™s face starts to become unrecognisable. Every smash of the fist, every time his head bounces off the floor, every crack, every spurt of blood is gruesomely amplified for full effect. http://youtu.be/xjqbAQnPuDM
