10 Ridiculously Gruesome Kills In Recent Action Movies

Nothing gets an audiences' attention quite like a seriously brutal piece of killing on the big screen during a heart-stopping action flick.

No matter how many times we see a person viciously mutilated or suddenly butchered in a film throughout the course of our lives, we'll always be left feeling utterly shocked, disgusted or even a little bit guilty knowing that we happily paid our hard earned cash to witness such savagery. Yet, we'll still inevitably keep coming back for more... because human beings are weird.

However, as time has gone by and audiences have become more desensitised to the graphic images they see in the cinema, movies have had to find more and more creative ways to violently dispatch innocent bystanders, faceless foes and arch-enemies.

Fans are no longer satisfied with a quick gun-shot or simple stabs, which is a scary enough thought in itself.

Instead, we now live in a gruesome age of cinema where humans are being put through meat grinders, daggers are being lodged into eye sockets and 70 year-olds are capable of pulling people's hearts out of their chests.

What a time to be alive... too soon?

Kingsman: The Golden Circle may not have struck gold in quite the same way the first outing for Taron Egerton's Eggsy did back in 2014. However, it did still boast a few kills which were positively grotesque and one particularly vicious death stands head and shoulders above the rest.

As Eggsy and Harry Hart (Colin Firth) take on Agent Whiskey (Pedro Pascal) at the end of the movie, we're treated to some ridiculous electrocuted lasso antics and slow motion striking galore.

Yet, despite some of the downright bananas choreography on show here, the climactic kill in the scene is actually rather straight forward. That doesn't mean it isn't brutal, though.

With Eggsy freshly released from the lasso which was dragging his head straight into the meat grinder he'd switched on earlier in the fight, Harry set his young protege up for the mother of all tag-team finishers by german suplexing Whiskey over the grinder. Eggsy then slam-dunked their foe into the machinie and produced some chilling american sausage... or mince meat or something.

It may not be on quite the same level as some of Harry's insane kills during that church scene in Kingsman: The Secret Service, but it's still one hell of a way to get the job done before saving the world.
