Logan: 15 Most Brutal Moments That Earned Its R-Rating

5. X-24 Versus Wolverine

Finally, a cinematic answer to the question of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You get fireworks, and on Mangold's R-Rated manifesto, you get two feral characters - one slightly more battle-experienced, the other more vital - slicing and stabbing each other in brutal high-focus.

It's stark, it's visceral and it's horribly bloody, with X-24's entrance changing the stakes entirely for Logan who can't possibly hope to win, but whose pride and desperation to save his little family drive him forward as his healing factor doesn't allow him to die from every catastrophic wound. And as if once wasn't enough, we get this brutal dance twice

Ultimately, the end of both fights lives up to the brutality: the first sees X-24 impaled on the blades of a combine harvester, while the finale of course sees Logan dumped on a tree and his clone's head exploded open. There are clashes of Titans, and then there's this.
