20 Most Controversial Scenes In Cinema History

16. Supervixens (1975)

10.02.2013superangel Supervixens is a sexploitation film directed by King of the Gargantuan Breasts - Russ Meyer. Essentially a sex farce, there is one stand out controversial scene that deserves to be on this list. Gas station attendant Clint is married to a jealous, demanding, nymphomaniac SuperAngel who constantly harasses him at work. She hears SuperLorna trying to seduce Clint - "Can't wait to strap on your groovy old man!" - and she demands he comes home where she badgers him and needles him for sex. Her aggressive approach turns him off and he sods off to a bar. The friendly neighbourhood cop (played by awesome baddie actor Charles Napier) pays a visit to SuperAngel and she soon gets him in to bed but horror of horrors! He cannot get it up. SuperAngel flies into a temper and verbally abuses him at which point he punches her in the belly and smacks her in the face. She locks herself in the bathroom and starts screaming "Get out! Get out! You freak! I'll call the cops!" to which he replies "You got all the police you ever gonna need gal!". His tries to bust down the door but is unsuccessful. SuperAngel, ever the bitch, taunts him about his manhood, enraging the cop even more. This is where the controversial scene comes in. Napier manages to break down the door, he grabs a screaming SuperAngel, throws her in the bath, smacks the crap out of her and then violently stomps on her to the point of overkill as her body lies on the bath. To top it all off, he throws a radio into the bath and SuperAngel fries to death. I had been used to a cut video version of Supervixens and when I saw the unedited version of this scene, I nearly fainted - it is that nasty.

My first film watched was Carrie aged 2 on my dad's knee. Educated at The University of St Andrews and Trinity College Dublin. Fan of Arthouse, Exploitation, Horror, Euro Trash, Giallo, New French Extremism. Weaned at the bosom of a Russ Meyer starlet. The bleaker, artier or sleazier the better!
