31. The Dude Who Gets Raped (Mad Max)
Once an attractive young couple finds themselves being chased by Toecutter's gang, it seems pretty obvious what's about to happen. When Goose and co. arrive on the scene, though, it's a little more surprising what they actually find. Exploitation (or rather, Ozploitation) formula suggests that the beautiful girl will be gang-raped by the villains, but instead, Goose finds the boyfriend running through a field without any clothing on his bottom half, implying if not flat-out stating that he was also sexually assaulted by the men. That's not to detract from the horror of the woman being raped, but to see the same done to a man, in a 1979 film no less, is pretty damn shocking.
