8. Deadpool Cuts Off His Hand - Deadpool

When Colossus (Stefan Kapičić) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) attempt to deliver Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) to Professor X, he decides he's not going quietly.

The Merc with a Mouth tells the audience, "Ever seen 127 Hours? Spoiler alert!" before he starts frantically slicing away at his hand, causing blood to spurt on Colossus' face ("There's the money shot, baby!")

Pool eventually manages to break free, tearing away from his hand to the confused disgust of Colossus and Warhead. It's a terrific scene that cements the movie's no-holds-barred R-rated tone as well as the fourth-wall-breaking irreverence of the title character, and of course, sets up that hysterical baby hand gag.
