Alita: Battle Angel - 16 WTF Moments
12. Severed Arms Everywhere
Proving that Star Wars doesn't hold a monopoly on gratuitous severed arms, Alita features a distracting number of arms being sliced off throughout the film (though in order to retain that PG-13 rating, they're all robotic in nature).
First off, Dr. Ido slices off an attacking cyborg's arm during the first-act alley-way fight, and moments later Alita smashes Grewishka's (Jackie Earle Haley) apart with the sheer might of a powerful kick.
In a rematch with Grewishka later on, however, she gets diced up with her arm being severed, and finally, Hugo loses one of his cyborg arms in the film's climax when a security thresher slice sit off, and loses the other when Alita tries in vain to pull him to safety.
That's...a lot of dismemberment.
