< Groin Attack

Groin Attack/Film

Played for Comedy

  • Z-grade horror Hell's Highway features the infamous Ron Jeremy having his penis cut off. Stunningly, he doesn't even notice for a little while, attributing it to a girl's "sharp fingernails" and not a knife.
  • The German low-budget horror series Violent Shit has examples of this in all three installments, for both genders. The squickiest example is the killer piercing a victim's balls with a hook in graphic detail.
  • While playing catch with the Von Trapp children in The Sound of Music, the Baroness gets a ball thrown at her crotch.
  • In the movie Jumping Jack Flash Whoopi Goldberg gives the Big Bad of the movie a big bite down there.
    • Beforehand, she bites down on a gun-wielding mook's hand, and at the same time, plants a foot into a sander-carrying mook's crotch.
  • In the first RoboCop movie Robocop shoots a would-be rapist in the crotch through the dress of his would-be victim. Later, a gangmember stupidly tries to kick Robocop himself in the groin, with predictably useless (yet hilarious) results.
  • This trope is played with in a scene from Baby Mama in which one of the characters watches America's Funniest Home Videos:

Kate: That kid's gonna hit his dad in the nuts.
Angie: Hey, have you seen this one before?
Kate: You have a kid with a wiffleball bat and a dad with a crotch.
Angie: You know, it's not gonna be funny if you ruin the ending!
[Kid hits his dad in the crotch. Angie laughs.]
Angie: It is! It's still funny!

Victim: Fucking snake! Get off my dick!

  • The "I shoulda yelled two!" gag from Caddyshack is classic.
  • This trope allowed Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone) in Cliffhanger to stun the otherwise unbeatable Martial-Arts-Expert terrorist Kynette and then shove him into a stalactite above.
  • In Ang Lee's Hulk, when David Banner's monster dogs fight Hulk, the Gamma Poodle bites his groin, and there is a very audible tear. Moments later, Hulk picks one of the dogs up by its hind legs, and smacks him in the crotch.
  • In the movie Lottery Ticket the neighbor gangsta grabs the neighborhood hustler by the scrotum... and crushes it.
  • In the first X-Men movie, during the fight in the Statue of Liberty, Mystique knees Wolverine in the groin, and you can hear an audible 'ping' (balls of Adamantium).
    • And in the third movie, it's Wolverine's solution to a mutant with regeneration that surpasses his own. *CRUNCH*

Wolverine: "Grow those back."

  • The Monster Squad has a scene where Horace, known to his friends and bullies as "Fat Kid," stuns the Wolfman by "kicking him in the nards," prompting the famous line, "Wolfman's got nads!" Earlier in the film, the gang had debated at some length whether the Wolf Man was so equipped, including the phrase "wolf dork."
  • Kay attempts this on one particular scarf-wearing alien in Men in Black 2, only to find that the alien in question is immune to crotch shots. Whereupon Jay calls out, "Kay! He's a Ballchinian!" Three guesses as to what Kay finds - and does - when he pulls down the creature's scarf.
    • "Got kids?...Want 'em?" *cue biting* .
  • Mike from Monsters, Inc. deliberately landed groin-first onto a pipe in an attempt to make Boo laugh to reactivate the power to get her back into her room after the power went out... only to find out that Sully forgot to remove her "monster visor" meaning he ended up hurting himself for nothing.
  • In the movie K-9. In the pool hall scene Jerry Lee corners a thug named Benny the Mule, and clamps down on his twig-and-berries while Officer Dooley interrogates him!
    • If you have seen the previous part of movie the scene where the dog, Jerry Lee, catches a pool table cue ball that was thrown at him, and breaks it in two with his teeth before he went ballistic, you can easily guess if he gave one wrong answer, Benny the Mule would have been gelded!
  • In perhaps the most over-the-top example of this, Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots: Part Deux hits his pit-fighting opponent with a knee to the groin... and keeps it there for upwards of 30 seconds. Everyone in the building (including the cheerleaders and commentators... and the wife covers her infant son's eyes) is doubled over in excruciating pain, and by the end actual walnuts pop out of the victim's mouth, clattering loudly on the floor. To top it all off, the opponent says, "You win!" in a helium voice before toppling over.
    • Interesting choice of words. In the first movie, Buzz Harley gets hit in the balls by a supersonic plane tail fin (!) and squeaks "I'm okay!" in a definite helium voice. Which is quite unlike the falsetto squeak that should accompany the groin attack. They got it right in the sequel though.
      • By the way the first movie also features Saddam Hussein being hit in the groin with an atom bomb. All this do indeed fall short of the sequel's epic ballbuster, though.
  • Dutch: Doyle attacks Dutch, thinking he's an intruder, but in truth, Dutch was here to pick Doyle up from prep school for his mom. One of the attacks was to Dutch's groin.
  • In the Mike Judge film Idiocracy, the moronic inhabitants of the future have made "Ow, My Balls" their most popular TV show. This Show Within a Show is one Groin Attack after another. The unfortunate star of the show suffers such "tributes" from fans at public appearances as well.
  • Another Mike Judge movie, Extract, uses the loss of a testicle in an industrial accident as the event that sets the plot in motion.
  • Played for laughs in the Norm MacDonald movie Dirty Work. After having a conversation with his friend's father, who, as a generally mean-spirited old man, strangles his testicles, Norm walks out, pulls his tape recorder from his pocket, and says in a helium-voice, "Note to self: Forget about being a father."
  • This is actually one of the few physical comedy bits that The Three Stooges seldom use. But in the short "Back to the Woods", Moe and Curly dragged an unconscious Larry, each holding one leg, from some marauding Indians. They approached a tree, each one ran opposite sides of it, and... well... ouch.
    • Probably justified in that traditional knee-to-groin attacks wouldn't have gotten past the Hays Code.
    • This was apparently a traditional British playground punishment called "posting".
    • It may have to do also with the quite enthusiastic way the Stooges played their fights and puns during filming, resulting in all sort of bruises and minor injuries. Repeated plays of the trope would have been quite, well...
  • Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, when Bill and Ted put "the Melvin" on Death
  • Big Bully: As grown-ups, David Leary gets hit in the crotch with the see-saw by his childhood bully Roscoe a.k.a. Fang after David admits to tattling on Fang over a moon rock when they were kids.
  • Parodied in the film The Man With Two Brains: Steve Martin kicks Kathleen Turner in the groin, and she does indeed double over in pain groaning "Uhh! My? balls!"
  • Strange Brew: While Bob and Doug where playing hockey, Bob's team tackles Doug, where he falls to the floor, groaning, "My left nut!"
  • Spaceballs, where this is the preferred attack style of the main villain. (Granted, he uses a Schwartz-powered energy beam instead of anything as uncouth as a kick, but still...)
    • "No! Not that!"
    • "Yes! That!"
      • This later becomes a Running Gag of sorts throughout the movie, every time Helmet gets pissed off, the Spaceballs cover their groins.
    • Also occurs when Lone Starr reflects one of Dark Helmet's Schwartz attacks back at him.
  • Blazing Saddles
    • During the dance hall scene, while Lili Von Shtupp is performing a cowboy walks up on stage to bother her and Lili knees him in the groin.
    • During the big brawl in Rock Ridge, the preacher knees a Mook in the groin, then calls out "Forgive me, Lord!"
    • When they break the Fourth Wall during the final fight and the fight spills into a musical number on a neighboring studio lot, and Taggart is about to punch out the effeminate director, the director begs "Not in the face! Not in the face!". Taggart complies by punching him in the groin, at which the director whimpers "thank you" before passing out from the pain.
    • During their shootout in the movie theater Sheriff Bart shoots Hedley Lamaar in the groin. That's gotta hurt.
  • And History of the World, Part I: 'Goodbye, head!' *block* 'Hello, balls!' *kick*
  • Somewhat averted in The Jerk, when Navin attempts to kick a goon in the crotch, only to have his foot painfully bounce off with a "ding!" Turns out, the goon's nickname was "Iron Balls" McGinty...
  • In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Ninja Megazord has a Big Red Button to be pressed only in an absolute emergency. Turns out it executes a knee-to-groin attack, which breaks the clinch with Ivan Ooze just in time for the Megazord to get out of the way of a big comet after luring Ivan into its path.
  • The movie Love At Stake, a comedy using the Salem Witch Trials as a story plot, the main character Miles is subject to plenty of accidental nut-shots.
    • By the end of the movie, Miles is carrying his bride-to-be in his arms, and walks into a short post, resulting in him pulling out a steel plate from the front of his pants.
      • Can't blame a guy for doing that, can you?
  • In The Longest Yard (both original and the remake) a football was used to end someone's game ASAP PDQ.
    • In the original, the targeted crotch was one of the prison guards. In the remake with Adam Sandler, an under-handed line referee had the football meet his own two.
      • One word fits either case: OWWWWWWWWWW!
  • She's the Man, a comedy loose remake of a Shakespeare cross-dressing plot, had a girl cross-dresser get hit with a very fast ball to the crotch, double over slightly without pain... realize she's supposed to feel pain, and start yowling "Oh... augh... it hurts...."
    • As has been pointed out many times on this page, getting nailed in the crotch hurts no matter what you've got down there.
  • In Wasabi, Jean Reno's character kicks a transvestite hard enough to lift her in the air and be sent flying to sit on a bank counter a few feet behind her.
  • Not an attack per se, but the title character of Shrek takes a groin shot while he, Fiona, and Donkey are escaping from the dragon's castle (Shrek's holding the smaller two while sliding down a stone banister that has a large bump appropriately placed). His eyes cross, but (being an ogre) he shakes it off more quickly than a human would.
    • Shrek 2 has Donkey accidentally nailing Shrek in the groin while trying to kick Puss in Boots.

Donkey: Did I miss?
Shrek: No, you got them.

    • And in Shrek The Third, Donkey kicks Shrek in the balls intentionally, while he and Puss In Boots were trying to convince a guy that Shrek was in a suit.

Shrek: If it were real, that would have been agonizingly painful.

  • In Kung Fu Panda, Po gets hit in his crotch during his first training session.

Po: My Tenders!

  • DreamWorks seems to like this trope. In Madagascar, Alex gets kicked by Nana (the old lady) twice, and later on Melman's head falls on a piece of board, causing the other end to strike Alex in the groin (knocking Alex into the air and causing poor Alex to stop and moan in pain once he landed). In the sequel, Alex gets into a fight with Nana, and Nana's "Finishing Move" is kicking him "Right in the batteries" (as Marty put it). Skip ahead to near the end of the film where Nana does it again, but this time kicking Makunga instead. With the announcement of a Madagascar 3, one can't help but wonder who will be Nana's next victim?
  • Eddie Valiant dispatches the lead weasel this way in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

Eddie: I'm through with taking falls!/And bouncing off the walls!/Without that gun/I'd have some fun/I'd kick you in the -- (vase falls on his head)

Roger: Nose!

Smarty Weasel: "Nose?" That don't rhyme with "walls"!

Eddie: No, but this does! (PUNTS the weasel in the groin, sending him flying across the warehouse and into the vat of Dip)

    • Ironic to say, Smart Ass weasel kicked Valiant in the balls earlier during a bar fight.
    • During that same fight, when Eddie punches Stupid into Judge Doom, Doom's leg rises sharply and he inadvertently kicks Stupid in the nuts.
    • And during the crime scene for Marvin Acme's murder, a cop is kicked in the crotch by a toon shoe.
    • Roger Rabbit receives one himself in the cartoon short 'Trail Mix-Up', when running across a log in the saw mill and encountering a branch. And in 'Roller Coaster Rabbit', Baby Herman grabs a bull by the nuts whilst trying to retrieve his red balloon.
  • For a Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame has a surprising amount of Groin Attacks. A performer on stilts gets hit with a wayward champagne cork (the hit itself happens just off camera range, but the result is unmistakable); then the same man uses his stilts to simultaneously kick four guards; and finally, Phoebus narrowly blocks Esmeralda from hitting his manhood with a candle holder. All in a span of about twelve minutes.
    • Earlier on, when Esmeralda makes her first appearance on-screen, she is confronted by two guards; one slim, one portly. Her goat, Djali, rams her head into the chubby guard's crotch, and then uses her back legs to kick the thin guard in the nads.
    • To be fair, though, this particular Disney film was really not all that kid-friendly. Entertaining, yes, but not for the rugrats. Personally, Judge Frollo's singing "Hellfire" was both some serious Nightmare Fuel and a reason for a lot of kids to ask Mommy what he was singing about.
  • In Rugrats in Paris, when all the ninjas fall over themselves after Phil and Lil throw goo all over the floor, a fat ninja gets kicked in the nuts.
  • In Rugrats Go Wild, when Nigel Thornberry falls of the cliff, he is stoped halfway by landing on a tree branch, with one leg either side.
  • In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, a particularly jarring instance during a climactic battle scene features a mook getting hit in the crotch with a battle-axe, and his only reaction is to clutch himself campily and fall over.
    • Happens as well in The Fellowship of the Ring, extended edition, when one of the hobbits takes out an Uruk-hai by throwing a rock at his crotch. Same reaction as his fellow in The Two Towers.
    • Given the movie's interpretation of how Uruk-hai are produced, it's possible that the target's mild reaction was due to a lack of anything especially pain-sensitive in that location.
  • In Young Frankenstein, the lead character does this to a volunteer to demonstrate the effect of shutting down a group of nerves. (Temporarily. Poor fellow.)
  • In Scary Movie 3, upon meeting the aliens, the protagonists are grabbed by them, thinking that they're being attacked. The aliens then inform them that that is just their way of saying "hello". One character asks how they say "Good-bye". Guess what happens next.
    • Hint: They don't shake hands.
  • In the Steven Seagal movie Out for Justice the hero delivers this to a louse who earlier, chucked a puppy out of his car, which lands in the hero's car. The topper is when the puppy urinates in the fallen man's face!
    • "Ohhh, is that a police dog or what?"
  • In the Peter Jackson zombie-splatterfest Braindead (AKA Dead Alive), the vile Uncle Les gets nailed on three or four separate occasions, once with a severed arm used as a club. Another character is pissing on a zombie's grave when a hand shoots out and... makes Les look fortunate by comparison.
  • The B-movie Vice Academy had a scene where a roomful of all-female rookie cops are being trained to strike the vulnerable "pressure point" on a male—the unfortunate man being used for demonstration not only receives a shot from the instructor, but has the whole class line up to practice.
  • In Once Upon a Time In Mexico, the Antonio Banderas character, El Mariachi, not only temporarily subdues one of the bad guys with a punt to the testes, but seconds afterwards puts two mooks out of commission by grabbing and twisting their dangly bits. OUCH.
  • Noxeema Jackson, the drag queen played by Wesley Snipes in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar does the grab and twist to a threatening punk after he heckles the town women following their make-overs. She then delivers an etiquette lesson, holding on all the while. The punk learns how to behave very quickly, as do all his friends who saw it.
  • Averted in Kill Bill 2: Pai Mei is as old as time and has reflexes fast enough and thighs strong enough to grab your foot and hold on so hard that you can't escape. It doesn't matter whether or not the Bride's kick connects before he "grabs" her: it doesn't work.
    • Elle hits Beatrix in the groin during their fight to keep herself from drowning in Budd's toilet.
  • A film called Moving Violations had a bowling ball fly out of a car in a spin-out and land right in an old man's lap with an audible "thump!".
  • Hell Comes To Frogtown has Sandahl Bergman deliver three kicks to the "three-headed snake of the Frog boss. Hell's codpiece also painfully shocked him whenever he did anything unauthorized.
  • Stand by Me -- first when Wil Wheaton's character finds a huge leech in his undies (Squick) and the implied but never shown attack of the junkyard dog; "Chopper, sic balls!"
  • In The Naked Gun 2 1/2, O.J. Simpson winds up under a bus that just happens to keep running over road cones, signs, random cactuses...
    • The third movie introduces a rather horrifying anti-carjacking device. It places a metal clamp on the carjacker's groin and detaches, leaving it there while the victim drives off. "We call it the Boston jock-strap."
  • The kiddie-football movie Little Giants had the kicker nailing the kid holding the football in the groin instead of hitting the football during the kickoff. Complete with a run-up first. He was going for distance, too.
    • Earlier than that, Kevin, the coach of the Cowboys little league team, was teaching them how to take down the titular Giants' star player (pee-wee league football is Serious Business). As he dashes towards the tacklin dummy/couch pillow, he goes out the second story window and lands straddling a tree branch (shouting, "Oh, doctor!") before dead-weighting into the swimming pool below.
    • Actually, his wife was holding the pillow, but chickened out just as Kevin was rushing her and got out of the way. He ended up plowing through the window as a result.
  • Tough Guys had one of the ex-con protagonists do this to a mugger. Said ex-con spent a few decades in prison, but...
    • The final scene of the film depicts the protagonists doing the same to a Mexican border cop.
  • Lloyd Christmas has a fantasy sequence in Dumb and Dumber where he uses a villain's scrotum as a speedbag for a while. Then caps it off with a bite.
  • Indiana Jones tries this on the Nazi bruiser in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It doesn't work.

"Our Hero!"

  • Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country plays around with this. On Rura Penthe, Kirk manages to disable his ten-foot blue alien with nothing more than a weak kick to the alien's knee. Afterwards:

Kirk: I was just lucky he had knees.
Martia: That was not his knee. Not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place, Captain.

    • Hence, this makes this instance simultaneously a Groin Attack without fulfilling the trope name at all.
    • Parodied at the end of this Mitchell and Webb skit.

Webb: Quick, kick it in the shins where it might keep its testicles.

  • In The Dark Knight Saga, Rachel knees the Joker in the groin to escape his clutches. This being the Joker, he's more amused than deterred and says "A little fight in you! I like that!"
  • In Flushed Away, the male lead (a rat named Rodney) fails a jump and in his fall he suffers a series of groin attacks, including hitting a hammer, a shoe, a steel tube, among other things, he finally hits the ground, stands up, and a stray ball hits him again.
    • Anyone familiar with rodent anatomy may have winced especially hard at that scene, given that a real rat's testes are nearly as big as its hind feet!
    • Later, one of the rats chasing him and Rita gets hit repeatedly during the race though the sewer.
  • In An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, when Ms Kitty is being held hostage, the first thing Tiger does in his rage is kick one of Cat R. Waul's cowboy cronies between the legs with such force that he lifts the cat off the ground, and sends him flying through the air. He does so with a look of maniacal joy.
  • In Disney's The Wild, Nigel the koala jumps from a tree branch and lands on a metal fence.
  • In the Bedazzled remake, Satan introduces Brendan Fraser's character to the devil's contract by having it (a very thick document that appears to be several thousand pages long) fall into his lap from what must have been a great height.
  • Austin Powers
    • Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery has two:
      • Austin performs one on himself while jumping into his car and landing on the gear shift, he grunts and his eyes widen, his eye brow raises and his mouth is gaped open and he groans.
      • Austin finishes off the last remaining henchman, Random Task, with someone's Swedish-made penis enlarger pump.
    • In the second Felicity pulls it off on Fat Bastard, causing Austin to lecture her:

Austin Powers: "I don't care if he is evil, you don't give a man a shot in the pills. It's just not cricket, baby!"

    • (Everything else she did to Fat Bastard was not only not cricket, it was pure Nausea Fuel.)
      • Mini Me attacks Austin's during their battle in Dr. Evil's moon base, Austin is kneeling and he slams his shin into Austin's crotch, causing his leg to hit austin's penis and his foot to hit his scrotum. Austin's eyes widen as he screams in agony. This is topped moments later by Mini-Me sinking his teeth into Austin's crotch, causing him to scream even louder.
    • In the 3rd, after Dr. Evil had the tethered globe lowered on his head, Mini Me releases the tethered meteor landing on Dr. Evil's crotch. He had to find his balls, "One, two,... and three okay I'm okay."
      • The titular villain was also a victim of this as well when Dr. Evil managed to reverse the polarity of the Preparation H tractor beam to stop him from destroying the world, and was being electrocuted by the energies backfiring on him (the key used to power the machine was his groin), which leads to Laser-Guided Karma. The origin of his nickname also originates from the fact that his balls were poured with molten gold in an "unfortunate smelting accident." Something that he almost had Austin's dad suffer from at Japan.
  • In Hook, Robin Williams gets shot in the crotch with a plunger-arrow. He exclaims "I've been shot!" in a high pitched voice.
  • In the Jack Black film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, main character Jables, while leaving his partner behind, eats some mushrooms he finds in the woods. Turns out the mushrooms were hallucinogenic, which causes him to see some seriously messed up things, including the legendary Bigfoot. In the scene where he believes he's actually FLYING ON BIGFOOT'S BACK, he reaches out for the supposedly airborne guitar pick...and falls off of the tree he was climbing in reality, splitting his crotch on a tree branch, instantly snapping him out of the hallucination. Ouch.
  • In the movie, The Rundown, main protagonist Beck (The Rock) gets in a fight with some of the Rebels while hunting down Travis, gets tossed into a tree, in which when he falls, his crotch makes contact with a low hanging branch. Punctuated with Travis say "ohh Ow!"
  • In Wayne's World 2, Wayne's kung fu showdown with James Hong contains a ball shot which results in two large ball bearings dropping out of Hong's pant leg.
    • Actually, they appear to be the kind of Chinese spheres you rolls in your hands in pairs for relaxation (kinda like ben-wa balls, but not the sex kind...or hey, maybe they are).
  • In The Brady Bunch Movie, a bully that was picking on Peter gets hit in the crotch when Peter steps on a bass drum pedal.
  • This is the Black Knight's weakness in Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. There can only be one reason that a kick to the groin would hurt an empty suit of armor.
  • In The Mask, Stanley Ipkiss gets one of these when he's too forward with would-be girlfriend Tina. However, because he's wearing the titular artifact, it doesn't even slow him down: "[high pitched voice] She is so coy! [normal voice] I love it!"
  • In Miss Congeniality, Sandra Bullock's character is demonstrating female self-defense as her 'talent' portion of the beauty pageant, finishing with the acronym "S.I.N.G.". Benjamin Bratt's character is the unfortunate demonstratee, with Bullock attacking, in order, his solar plexus, instep, nose, and groin.
  • Running Gag in The Sword in the Sorcerer by the Princess Alana as everyone says how much they're going to sex her up and she responds, "With what?". Backfires in the last take as the guy is a undead sorcerer without any balls, but still a healthy libido.
  • Heavily Lampshaded in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, with a villain called Cock-Knocker. No prizes for guessing his signature move.
  • Inverted in So I Married an Axe Murderer. When Mike Myers' character Charlie is struck there by a female opponent, he responds in kind. And it's shown to have an effect.
  • Bullshot (1983). Happens twice to Comedic Hero 'Bullshot' Crummond—once when he slides backwards down a stairway banister (and so doesn't see the knob on the end of the railing) and the second time while he's taking off his jacket (thus binding his arms) to engage a Combat Pragmatist villain in the manly art of fisticuffs.
  • In Cast a Deadly Spell, Phil Lovecraft's pistol does nothing to the gargoyle ... but a kick to the crotch doubles it over long enough for him to escape.
  • Say what you want about the movie Click, but there's one great scene where Adam Sandler's character repeatedly kicks a guy in the groin while time is stopped, and the minute time returns to normal, the poor sap practically ends up falling over in pain.
  • In Kingpin, Roy E. Munson gets a swift kick from Claudia. He makes sure to note that she got both of them. He proceeds to retaliate in the form of breast punching.
    • Later on he gets a self-induced one.

Roy: [quietly] Shh, be quiet.
[he trips and falls]
Roy: Oww, I think I tore my sack.
Ishmael: [loudly] Are you OK Mr. Munson?
Roy: Shh, what did I just say?
Ishmael: Uh, I think I tore my sack.

  • In The Pacifier, Gary the duck does this on cue to one of the mooks, with the standard result.
  • This little tidbit from the movie version of George of the Jungle after George has come to rescue Ape from Lyle's henchmen Max and Thor:

Ape: George, remember everything I told you about Queensbury rules and fighting fair?
George: Uh-huh?
Ape: Well now's a good time to forget it!
(Cue dual groin attack)

  • In From Beyond (1986), this trope is slightly subverted when Crawford knees a female nurse in the crotch, while trying to suck her eyeball out to get to her brains. Ew.
  • In Planes, Trains and Automobiles, the cabbie at an airport tightens his gloves before "helping" Neal get up from laying on the road. The next scene has Neal talking in a strained, high pitch voice.
  • "And then that plank will come up and hit me in the gonads." (This may not be the actual quote, but a) it's fairly close and b) this is Baby Geniuses we're talking about).
  • In Little Shop of Horrors during the song "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space" Audrey II sings the line "... I'm gonna bust your balls!" and shoots a vine at Seymour's crotch, barely missing him.
  • Monster-in-Law has a female version of this. Jane Fonda's character knees her personal assistant in the crotch. Twice. "Viola, I think you dislocated my vagina!"
  • Total Recall
    • Lori does this to Quaid twice the first time she fights him: once with her fist, once with a kick. Later in the film she stomps on them after capturing him.
    • Richter does it to a patron of the Last Resort during the assault on the place.
    • The little person prostitute does it to Richter's partner with a knife. Ouch.
  • At the climax of True Lies, as part of what could be seen as the terrorist leader's Humiliation Conga and Take That, Harry thrust his AV-8 (A marine version of the harrier jump jet) forward as such to send the aforementioned Big Bad flying, horizontally backwards into straight into the tail fin. Cue immediate widening of the guy's eyes and mouth and clenching of the legs within the male members of the audience.
  • In the movie Tough Guys, old gangsters Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, after stealing a train to zoom through the Mexican Border, give this to a Mexican police man at the end of the movie.
  • One is actually delivered without physical contact in the 2008 Get Smart movie:

Agent 99: Max has no experience, and I don't want him as my partner.
Maxwell Smart: Well, that is a sucker punch to the gonads.

    • For the physical variety, earlier during the paintball exercise in the same movie, after a crack about Max's mother, Max shoots the taunter in the crotch.
  • Eight Legged Freaks: that Groin Attack looked pretty painful. The daughter of the female lead used a stun gun on her boyfriend's balls. Justified since he was being too forward with her even after she told him several times to stop. But still...ouch.
  • In the The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Dragon gets into a fight while at a tropical cafe somewhere. He takes the guy out in a couple of hits, and then the guy's friends carry him off. They carry him off in such a way that they accidentally slam his crotch into a pole.
  • In Suburban Commando starring Hulk Hogan, Christopher Lloyd grabs the Big Bad in his nads... with a bionic gauntlet!
  • In The Ant Bully, a flying bug and passenger fly up the exterminator's pant leg during the battle to defend the colony. Searching for a target, one remarks, "That looks vulnerable..." and the other opens its mouth very wide. Cut to a view of the exterminator; there's a small but audible crunch, and suddenly the man's whole body distorts into an anguished-yet-silly posture before he doubles over with pain.
  • Predator 2. Leona Cantrell grabbed and squeezed fellow cop Jerry Lambert in a tender place when he won't stop bothering her. Apparently this is a standard form of attack for her.
  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Leo Spitz gets one after Mikaela, falling, lands on his groin. He also gets tasered there. By himself.
    • The Rail Gun attack on Devastator.
      • ...And how, pray tell, is a shot that takes a guy's arm off a Groin Attack? Simply having the Decepticles does not mean that any attack on him is a nut shot!
    • The Hangover also has groin-tasering.
    • From the first Transformers live-action movie, we have a slightly unclear example. When Lennox does his Under the Truck move between Blackout's legs, it's not clear whether Lennox shoots the Decepticon in the nuts and bolts or the underside of his chest. (It also isn't clear whether it's Lennox or the F-22s that kill him.)
  • Lethal Weapon 3. Lorna Cole (played by Rene Russo) crushes one thug's testicles BARE-HANDED in a fight scene!
  • The Avengers 1998. Mrs. Peel kicks Bailey in the 'nads during their fight on the wires in Sir August's base.
  • Undercover Brother. The title character does this to himself while wielding a pair of nunchucks during his final battle with Mr. Feather. It was a feint.
  • In See Spot Run, Sonny Talia (Played by Paul Sorvino), gets both testicles torn off by the titular dog over the course of the film.
  • Baby's Day Out is filled with them. Both humorous and horrific. This one probably stands out the most.
  • The Bar Brawl scene in the Dukes of Hazzard movie has one when Daisy sends a pool cue ball shooting from a fan into some poor schmuck's groin.
  • In The Goonies, Data's "Pinchers of Peril" bite onto Francis Fratelli's groin.
    • In an earlier scene, Francis suffers another one thanks to Data's "Slick Shoes"; Francis slips on the oil and lands on a log with his legs on either side.
  • The Mr. Show spinoff movie Run Ronnie Run features Jack Black leading a musical number called "The Golden Rule Song", better known as "A Kick in the Cunt". Sadly, the act is merely sung about and not depicted.
  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. After Harvey says that there are no rules in a knife fight, Butch kicks him right in the 'nads, rendering him helpless.
  • Naked Killer. Kitty stabs several men in the groin; when she later becomes a Les Yay contract killer the policeman who fell in love with her notices the similar M.O.
  • The gun-nut police officer in Super Troopers invents a bulletproof cup and has his fellow officers shoot him in the crotch to test it. It works.

O'Hagan: Bulletproof cup, huh? I invented this gag, Rabbit. Only in my day, the rookie got naked. (fires the gun to the side, shooting out the car window) And we also used blanks. You're a sick motherfucker, Mac.
Mac: Thanks, Chief!

    • Then Foster gets tazered in the crotch by Ursula after he accuses her of cheating on him with her captain and of "crapping on his heart."
  • Two in the same fight scene in The Mummy Returns. Evie groin-attacks a mook, and Lock-Nah groin-attacks Ardeth. Ardeth recovers quickly. The mook doesn't, but that's more due to Alex knocking a bookcase onto him.
  • Inglourious Basterds has a tense standoff where a British agent and a Nazi hold each other's groins at gunpoint while sitting at a table. The Nazi ends up being killed by repeated gunshots. Yowch.
  • After a naked meditation session is interrupted at the end of Private Resort, a woman uses a big muscly guy's testicles like a 'stress ball' (they were just hanging there, so why not put them to use?). Completely oblivious that she happens to be using his vulnerable crotch as a stress relief device (even despite the moaning and groaning) she squeezes harder and harder each time she emphasises a point. She makes one last point and we get one final crunch. Joy and amusement fills the onlooking females in the group, and we cut to the end credits.
  • The Running Man:
    • Richards may or may not have grabbed that one guard by the nuts when escaping from the prison; judging by the way the man's body shot up, the sound of his groaning, and the position of where Richards' hand was just before tossing him strongly implies groin abuse.
    • Amber does it to Richards before escaping from him in the airport.
    • Richards kicks Buzzsaw in the crotch during their fight, but to little effect.
    • Richards does it again to Buzzsaw, but this time with his own chainsaw, whilst fighting him.

"He had to split"

    • When Richards throws the flare at Fireball before he explodes, the flare is pointed directly at the spread legged Fireball's crotch.
    • Amber does it to Dynamo in the network building while he's trying to rape her.
  • Jack Black's character in Tropic Thunder gets 2 within the space of 10 seconds from the child leader of the drug cartel. He then just manages to avoid a stomp that breaks the wooden stair his crotch was at.
  • Big Trouble in Little China. After Lo Pan's humanoid monster grabs Jack Burton, Gracie Law kicks it in the tender bits to make it let go.
  • In the movie, Harry and the Hendersons, a hunter tries this on the titular Bigfoot... though it was a delayed reaction!
    • Yes, the Bigfoot has a set of 'em.
    • Welp, you know what they say about guys with big feet...
  • Occurs in After the Sunset. When the gangster Moret's goon refuses to let the female cop speak to him and tries to grab her arm in order to steer her away from his party, she grabs his testicles and warns him that unlike the other cops on the island, she cannot be bought off and will persist in trying to put Moret in jail.
  • From Dusk till Dawn. Inverted with Sex Machine's crotch gun...until you consider the Law of Inverse Recoil. Ouch!
  • In a scene that occurs late in the film Sister Act, "Sister Mary Clarence" (she's still wearing her "nun" disguise at this point) is being held captive by two of the thugs working for the guy who wants her dead. She's able to escape by praying in order to catch them off guard, after she finishes, she lets both of them have it (simultaneously; they were on either side of her.
  • In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, near the beginning of the "rematch" between Kevin and the "Wet Bandits," there's a point where Kevin rigs a staple-gun to a door that the two are trying to get through, and one of the staples catches Marv right in the "area."
    • Kevin's no stranger to the groin attack. His first move in the defense of his home in the original movie was to shoot Harry in the balls with a B.B. gun at point blank range through the doggy-door.
      • In the third movie, one of the bad guys gets a boxing glove to the crotch. Alex's face says it all.
      • Boxing Glove? One of the crocks gets hit in the crotch with a crowbar...
  • In The Beverly Hillbillies movie, Ellie May employs a highly-illegal wrestling move known as the "Hickory Nut Crunch," which her opponent protests in falsetto.
  • In Bitch Slap, Token Evil Teammate Camero crushes and then shoots off Gage's nuts, and [1] clamps one of Gage's henchmen with a big pair of alligator clips. She also lands a kick to the crotch on her (female) teammate Hel, but the crowning example from this film comes in a later fight with Hel, when Camero finds herself on the receiving end of a groin bite.
  • A weak attack, the mother from A Christmas Story hefts a heavy round present into the father's lap. In a high voice, he says, "Thank you very much!" When he unwraps it, he says, "It's a blue ball! How appropriate."
  • In the mediocre comedy adaptation of The High Crusade, Sir Roger wards off several of these from his evil clone thanks to the chastity belt his bride has insisted he wear.
  • The titular corpse in Weekend at Bernie's manages to deliver one of these to his murderer, hours after he's been killed.
  • In The Princess and the Frog one of the frog hunters tries to shoot Naveen, and instead nearly shoots another hunter in the crotch (it was a near-miss that just tore the groin off his trousers, and it could have been worse: Naveen prevented the guy from getting shot in the face).
  • Buckaroo Banzai. Buckaroo kicks a Red Lectroid in the groin after being discovered. The Lectroid is almost unaffected and immediately calls out a warning to the others.
  • Tank Girl. The title character hits a Water & Power trooper with his own gun and pretends (?) to knee two Liquid Silver dancers in the groin during the "Let's Do It" number.
  • During "Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop" in the 2005 remake of The Producers, Liebkind accidentally punches Bialystock and Bloom in the groins while dancing.
  • In The Big Lebowski, Walter (John Goodman), throws a bowling ball at one of the Nihilists (Flea), hitting him in the balls. From his reaction, we think testicular damage is the least of his problems at that point.
  • Threatened, with a sword, to perp-sweat a drug dealer in Angels Revenge.
  • In Wagon's East, John Candy's character James Harlow is whacked in the groin, as well as about four other characters during the film.
  • In Summer Rental, another John Candy film, his character Jack Chester is hit in the crotch with a frisbee thrown by his son.
  • During the fight Fritz the Cat has with his wife at the end of The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat, she knees him in the groin.
  • Apparently Robert Zemeckis felt that the venerable A Christmas Carol needed to be livened up with the help of Jim Carrey, Motion Capture, and a Groin Attack or two (about :14 in this trailer). Yay.
  • The Unstable Fables series of films has several.
    • In "3 Pigs and a Baby", (from an animation company many of you have probably never heard of), it happens twice. When one Musical Comedy Wolf is training with a punching bag dummy, he punches it with all his might. Unfortunately for the Wolf, the Punching bag dummy recoils back and nails him right in the groin. During the last battle, the Big Boss Wolf is fighting against Mad Scientist Dr. Wolfowitz. When the Wolfowitz goes down, his tail takes over the battle (which is apparently its own living being), hitting the Boss Wolf in the hands. After dodging the tail's attacks, it eventually nails the Boss wolf right in the groin (though he recovers quickly and defeats the Tail).
    • In Tortoise Vs Hare, a stick figure lands on his crotch during a video for the race.
    • In The Goldilocks & The Three Bears Show, when the bears' house is infested with bees, Mac Bear attempts to fight them off, but slams into a cabinet, knocking him to the ground. Then, the cabinet falls in between his legs.
  • Wild Wild West.
    • Jim West punches one of Loveless' Mooks in the groin while in combat on the giant spider's engine deck.
    • After Jim West tries several attempts to hurt the iron mook, he attempts to kick his groin, with no luck.
      • "You've got to be kidding me."
  • In Friday After Next, a very painful version when Money Mike manages to temporarily stop a potential rape by Damon (the aforementioned son from prison) by using pliers to squeeze his testicles. Yes, it's as painful as it sounds.
  • Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - Aunty Entity has been looking for a mercenary to rid her of Master Blaster for some time. Sensibly, she tests each potential applicant-by having her bodyguards ambush the applicant in the middle of the job interview. One ambusher wields a battle-axe, which gets stuck in the floor when he misses. Mad Max then kicks under the axe-handle, forcing the end upwards...
    • ... and you can guess the rest.
  • In Devil In The Flesh Rose McGowan's character does this to a guy who's practically trying to rape her.
  • The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother.
    • The fencing machine does it to Sigerson.
    • The assassin trying to kill Jenny does it to himself during the fall.
    • Sigerson does it to Moriarty's assistant (Roy Kinnear) with a giant boot.
    • Jenny Hill does one to Gambetti during the opera.
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Black Knight does it to the Green Knight while fighting him.
  • James Bond:
    • The Spy Who Loved Me. James Bond does it to Jaws (from behind!) while they're fighting in the shark pool room.
    • Moonraker. Bond knees Jaws in the groin again while fighting him in the space station. There's a "clang" sound when he does so, indicating that Jaws has balls of steel just like his teeth.
      • I think Jaws got a clue from "Iron Balls" McGinty...
    • Diamonds Are Forever. Thumper knees Bond in the groin (off camera) while embracing him seductively.
    • In Goldfinger Bond himself nearly suffers this fate, in the famous scene where he is strapped down to a table and a laser is slowly making its way up to his manhood, though in this case the attack wouldn't stop at the groin. The laser is obviously fake, but the table really did have a small flamethrower underneath it to complete the effect- the fire making its way to Sean Connery was very real, and the look of fear on his face is anything but fake.
    • Casino Royale features the infamous scene where Bond is captured and tortured by having his balls beaten with a rope; since this is one of his earliest missions, this presumably explains how he can sleep with so many women and not have any kids.
  • In the start of All About the Benjamins, Ice Cube zaps a perp in his crotch with a taser.
  • Parodied in Ready To Rumble. The end credits feature continuous out-takes of groin attacks.
  • Our Man Flint. Flint knees Rodney in the groin after Rodney throws his drink in Flint's face.
  • Last Action Hero: "You want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of achers!"
  • Recess: School's Out Spinelli, when attempting to escape with her friends from the villainous group after being caught and stumbling upon the bald Enforcer, shouts "Get off our planet, alien scum!" and kicks him in the family jewels.
  • Heavily implied to be what Marty Wolf got when what was presumed to be his first day as a birthday clown had him going over to the house belonging to the child of the same wrestling guy who crushed his car in the ending of Big Fat Liar.
  • Inspector Gadget: When trying to train with a Guru to control his new cybernetic body, John Brown, instead of grabbing the orb as he was supposed to do, overshoots the orb by a long margin and instead grabs the guru's "Orbs", causing his eyes to bug out as he yells, mutter to himself in an extremely high pitched voice, and then be taken onto an ambulance while still muttering with a high pitched voice on a stretcher as well as with an ice pack on that exact spot.
  • In Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, while Scrat is fighting Scratte over his nut, she kicks him in the...well nuts, hard enough to lift him off the ground.
  • Played straight in Mr. Deeds: Pam Dawson/Babe Bennet, when she has to fight Jan, who was a former Rodeo Clown and a very close friend of Longfellow Deeds, to find out where he is so she could apologize to him, attempted to do a flying kick into Jan's crotch, to which Jan reminds her after the action was done that such an action does not work because she's female.
    • To be fair, Jan doesn't completely ignore the blows; she still grunts in pain during them, but laughs them off after.
  • Flash Gordon. One of Ming's goon squad kicks Flash in the nuts before the "football game" begins.
  • A female-on-female example occurs at the end of the Judge Dredd movie during the Designated Girl Fight. Rico's accomplice kicks Hershey in the groin with absolutely no results, prompting Hershey to note that the other woman likely only fights men. You'd think a biologist would know human anatomy.
  • The torture scene in Casino Royale is parodied in Meet the Spartans. The Le Chiffe stand-in keeps calling the Leonidas stand-in Mr. Bond while Leonidas keeps trying to tell him he's got the wrong guy. Le Chiffe then takes it even further by smearing dog food on Leonidas' equipment and setting loose his chihuaha. Par for the course with the rest of the movie.
  • Kintaros went for one of these in the Kamen Rider Den-O/Kiva movie "Climax Deka.

"Now these are real gold stars!"

  • The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
    • While pinned to a column by knives, Alan Quatermain does it to one of the Fantom's Mooks during the attack in the hotel in Africa.
    • Mina does it to The Mole Dorian Gray during their battle. Luckily for him he can regenerate physical damage.

Dorian Gray: If that had been permanent, I'd have been very upset!

  • The Mask of Zorro: Don Diego disarms a drunken Alejandro by doing one of these with a cane.
  • Cannibal! The Musical: After gaining the upper hand in a violent bar-brawl beatdown, Alferd Packer unleashes the karate skills he learned from the chief of the Nihonjin tribe on evil trapper Frenchy Cabazon's balls. For the remainder of the film, Frenchy speaks in a high pitched squeak (rather than re-pitching his lines in post-production, the actor inhaled helium before each scene and nearly passed out several times from lack of oxygen.)
  • The final scene in Mystery Team ends with an unnamed screaming: "THEY CUT OFF MY FUCKING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLS!"
  • Two posse members in Hatchet II are offed this way at the same time by Victor Crowley with an absurdly long chainsaw. Later on he he buries his hatchet on one woman's crotch.
  • Just Go with It with Adam Sandler sees two of them happening:
    • A little boy running around a Chucky Cheese-like place and is tripped, ramming head first into the crotch of Adam Sandler's character Danny. The boy shouts "The man put his pee-pee on my face", Danny hollers "He put his face on MY pee-pee".
    • Adam also lands crotch first on a bridge.
  • In Green Lantern, Hal Jordan demonstrates his growing mastery of the Green Lantern powers by clobbering his much larger and more experienced trainer in the nards with a conjured boot.
  • This scene from Beverly Hills Ninja. A rare two way Groin Attack (Jump to 1:32).
  • In Bordello of Blood near the beginning Caleb uses his friend Reggie as a human dart board he hits him in the balls with one.
  • During a montage in American Pie 2 when a football hit Stifler's groin. Never mind this film had the glue sequence.
  • In the epilogue of Lone Star State of Mind, Junior accidentally shoots himself down there.
  • In Freddy vs. Jason Freddy Kreuger tries this on Jason Voorhese, but ends up hurting his foot.
  • During Babydoll's Heroic Sacrifice in Sucker Punch, she kicks a goon in the groin.
  • In Crank 2: High Voltage, Chev Chelios attempts Grind Boots, but eventually lands groin-first on a rail.
  • The climax of Ace Ventura When Nature Calls has the title character distract the main villain he's pursuing in a chase by tossing a car cigarette lighter at his crotch.
  • The 1995 film Soldier Boyz has an instance of this. Howard Toliver, a mercenary, has taken six prisoners to Vietnam to rescue a kidnapped girl. While shaping them up for their mission, he has this discourse with Butts, one of the more rebellious members of the group:

Toliver: Butts!
Butts: Yeah?
Toliver: How was your breakfast?
Butts: Terrible.
Toliver: (beat) From this moment on, when you're addressing a question or a comment to me, the first word and the last word out of your mouth better be "Sir!"
Butts: (nodding, obviously disinterested) Mmm-hmm.
Toliver: Is that understood?
Butts: (still disinterested) Mmm-hmm.
(Toliver grabs and squeezes Butts' nuts in an iron grip; Butts' eyes go wide)
Toliver: I don't think you heard me, son. I SAID, IF YOU'RE ADDRESSING ME, THE FIRST WORD AND THE LAST WORD OUT OF YOUR STINKIN' HOLE BETTER BE "SIR!!!!" NOW!!! IS THAT CLEAR?!?!
Butts: (meekly) Sir...my balls hurt, sir.

    • Butts also has this threatened against him earlier in the movie, when he puts unwanted advances on Vasquez, the only girl in the group.

Butts: (unzips his pants meaningfully in front of a kneeling Vasquez) Hey babe, why don't you do me a favor while we're here?
Vasquez: (stands up and gives Death Glare) Why don't you wait until I get my knife and do the world a favor?

  • The movie The Faculty has some high-school Jerk Jocks doing this to Casey Connor by running him legs-open into a flagpole. See the Real Life section concerning "posting."
  • The Cat in the Hat has this where the Cat poses as a pinata (It Makes Sense in Context), to which one of the bigger kids brings a large wooden bat (the other kids were utilizing plastic bats), to which the Cat attempts to use the white flag of surrender, but the big kid, either not understanding the concept or simply not even caring if he is surrendering, whacks the bat onto the Cat's right scrotum, causing him to undergo a long period of pained yells and whoops (and apparently entering a fantasy where he apparently "envied the crotchless")

Played for Drama

  • This is played for drama first, then it turns comedic in Piranha 3D when the Jerkass photographer falls into the water and gets both his legs and his dong eaten by the piranhas. What does he say after this? They took my penis!
  • Both the book and film Casino Royale featured a nasty torture sequence for 007, wherein he's tied to a chair frame and repeatedly struck hard in the danglers with a knotted rope (or giant carpet beater in the book, which seems even more painful). It's not exactly supposed to be funny, but James still manages to crack a few one liners during his predicament. He is James Bond, after all. He even has sex soon afterwards.
    • 'Unnnnnnh! No! No, no! To the right! To the right! TO THE RIGHT!!'
    • Though the film did give us this awesome comeback: "Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls!"
    • Goldfinger's attempt at a Groin Attack by means of a giant industrial laser.
    • Averted by Roger Moore in Octopussy. While sliding down a stairwell railing he shoots several mooks with an AK-47, then uses the rest of the magazine to shoot off the knob at the end of the railing.
  • In the movie Die Hard, John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, empties half a pistol magazine into a terrorist's batch from under a table.
  • In the movie Blood Simple, a woman kicks her husband (who's trying to harm her) in the crotch, hard. He doubles over, hobbles away a bit, and throws up.
  • Chow Yun-Fat's first kill in the John Woo classic, The Killer, had him putting three bullets into a mook's groin at point blank range from the side of a doorway that the mook was coming through.
  • In, Pulp Fiction Marsellus Wallace puts a shotgun blast into the groin of his rapist Zed after Butch kills Zed's partner with a katana
  • In the Sonny Chiba grindhouse classic The Street Fighter, Anti-Hero Terry Tsurugi castrates a man with his bare hands for trying to rape Sarai Hammett, the woman Tsurugi was sworn to protect. While Terry's fights throughout the movie are notoriously violent and brutal, it was this particular scene that earned the movie the industry's first X rating for violence.
  • In Tarantino-written Tony Scott-directed True Romance, Christian Slater shoots Gary Oldman in the groin, from on the floor beneath Oldman's spread legs. It looks even worse than it sounds.
  • In the big Maidenhead fight from Serenity, Jayne, the resident mercenary and Big Guy on Serenity's crew, tries to restrain River, who recently had her martial-arts-killing-machine programming by the Alliance activated by a Fruity Oaty Bars commercial. River's response is to grab Jayne right by the balls and squeeze hard, just before breaking free and knocking him flat with a serving tray.
  • John Hartigan from the Frank Miller graphic novel and movie Sin City (also played by Bruce Willis) deals with pedophilic rapist Junior, a.k.a. The Yellow Bastard, as such: "I take his weapons away from him. Both of them." The first time he does this, he just shoots the guy down there. But the second time he does this is considerably more gruesome: he rips the guy's genitals out with his bare hands before pounding him to the floor.
    • "Here's a sign." Stands out even in that movie, and on this page.
    • "I guess when I shot you in the belly I aimed a little too high." Yeouch.
  • In Battle Royale, a girl stabs her would-be rapist in the groin.
  • In Friday the 13th (film): The Final Friday Jason stabs the character Paul in the groin with a spear lifting him off the ground and driving it in further.
    • In the 3rd Friday the 13 th, Andy is walking down the hall on his hands when Jason comes along and machetes him in half from the crotch downward. His scream is just horrific.
  • In the 1st Sleepaway Camp film it is implied that Judy is killed by getting a hot hair curler jammed up her vagina.
  • Halloween H 20: Even Mike gets one from Laurie, though his reaction is just a wide-eyed death glare at her.
  • Occurs in "The Evil That Men Do". Charles Bronson grabs a Mexican threatening his wife by the balls and squeezes & twists. For 30 seconds. And twists. If you can watch that scene without pain or flinching, you are no true man.
  • In the Blaxploitation film, Foxy Brown - the title woman has a man pinned out, and rips off his dick (slightly off-screen), and later presents it to the guy's girlfriend.
  • Often used in kung fu films to show that a martial artist has Supernatural Martial Arts that protect him from injury:
    • In Master of the Flying Guillotine, one of the combatants in the tournament is immune to damage. His opponent repeatedly punches and kicks him in the crotch until he goes for an eye-gouge that removes his protection.
    • In Forbidden City Cop, one of the imperial guards practices a style that makes him immune to blows, even to weak areas like his throat and groin.
  • In Alien Nation, Sykes groin-kicks an alien, who laughs it off. Later, George tells him that he'll get the result he was looking for by hitting an alien in the side of the torso. Sykes tries this out later, and it proves as effective as a groin shot.
  • In Antichrist from Lars Von Trier, who's been called a misogynist various times, the leading woman whacks her husband's balls with a hammer, then brings him to an erection and to orgasm, and he ejaculates blood. She takes a pair of scissors to her vagina, though... Genital Mutilation. Now available in horror.
  • There is a scene in The Serpent and the Rainbow where the Big Bad captures the hero, has him tied naked to a chair and interrogated, and finally has a four-inch metal spike hammered through the skin of his scrotum. As a warning.
  • In Smokin Aces there is a professional torturer, briefly shown applying some sort of welding torch to a twiching, naked man hanging upside down by his feet.
  • Sick Girl, at the end of the movie. Terrifyingly, an attack on a male leads into an attack on a female.
  • A rare female example in The Stepford Wives where the protagonist stabs one of the women in the vaginal region.
  • In Taken, Liam Neeson captures one of his daughter's kidnappers and tortures him to get information on him; he ties breaker cables to his groin and shocks him for about 5 minutes straight.
  • Daniel does this to Chozen in one scene in The Karate Kid Part II after Mr. Miyagi tells him about the "primary target" in an earlier scene.
  • In Hard Target, Natasha 'Nat' Binder fires a semi-automatic rifle to the testicles of a bald, bearded, badass biker dude who calls her "bitch".
  • In The Rage: Carrie 2, Rachel blinds Monica by smashing her glasses and driving the broken glass into her eyes. Seconds later, Monica fires her spear gun into a guy's crotch, ripping off his balls and sending them into a swimming pool.
  • Notoriously used in Hard Candy in the scene where Hayley castrates Jeff. It turns out later that she didn't actually do it, but it's an incredibly painful and nauseating scene nonetheless.
  • Kick-Ass: A drug lord's mook walks into a room to discover Hit-Girl slaughtering his buddies. He pulls out a balisong and does a few fancy manipulations while trying to look mean. Hit Girl is unimpressed, pulls out an identical balisong, matches the mook's showboating move for move-then finishes her display by throwing the knife. No points for guessing where she aimed the throw.
  • The Untold Story has a rare female example where a woman gets a handful of chopsticks in a very painful place.
  • Though it does end up being extremely funny, this example was intended to be serious. In the movie Spawn, Jessica Priest (played by Melinda Clark) attempts a groin attack on Spawn, but Spawn's skull-shaped belt buckle stretches out and bites her leg hard. That's right people, Spawn has a demonic attack-cock! Are you jealous? Yeah, you know you are.
  • The Exorcist, when the devil forces Regan to stab herself in the crotch repeatedly with a crucifix while screaming "Let Jesus fuck you!" Share the (fe)male pain.
  • In the TV movie Supernova, the Trapped by Mountain Lions subplot about the serial killer ends with him getting shot repeatedly by his intended victim. The first few bullets are seen penetrating his chest, but the last one hits him slightly below the frame, which ends at his waistline.
  • In St Trinian's 2 the one of the twins groin-attacks a security guard with her HEAD.
  • An Officer and a Gentleman. No man in possession of two working chestnuts can watch that scene without almost passing out.
  • The Green Mile: Tom Hanks plays a prison guard named Paul Edgecombe who starts his day with a raging groin infection. To make matters worse, his incoming prisoner of the day is "Wild Bill" Wharton, who starts a brawl in the receiving room and aims one at Edgecombe's crotch. Drama when Edgecombe pulls his service pistol, but Wharton is clearly aware that his aim is shaking and his eyesight is blurring-an attempt to hit Wharton is more likely to hit one of the other cops. Finally, Wharton is subdued. The Gentle Giant across the cell block asks to talk to boss Edgecombe, who obliges-and a giant black hand darts through the bars and gets a firm grip. the GG is John Coffey, there because he was taken as a Scary Black Man, who has magical healing powers that do require a classical Healing Hands touch
  • Subverted in the Tamil movie Ayan, where the male lead nearly gets one from a girl in Congo who stole the diamonds he was going to smuggle back to India (it makes sense in context) but he ends up grabbing her leg at the last second making a 'no way' face at her.
  • In The Last House on the Left, one of the victims dupes the kidnapper/rapist into a sex game, then performs a fellatio on him. Guess what's next?
  • Lair Of The White Worm features an oral attack from a vampire... Ouch!
  • In an early 1990s Japanese movie called Jokyoshi Shiokinin Fukushu no Megami - Reiko Kato, the titular character is held captive inside a warehouse while hung from a ceiling rope with her hands bound. When one of the thugs prepares to look up her skirt, Reiko strikes him in the face with her right knee and as he falls back to the ground, she uses her right foot to stomp his groin, knocking him out instantly so that she can then jump on his stomach and use it as a trampoline platform so that she can unbind her hands from the ceiling rope. Later on, Reiko fights against another thug and during the battle she kicks him in the groin, stunning him long enough for Reiko to knock him out.
  • In Deadgirl: The Jerk Jock school bully Johnny painfully learns that zombie sex slaves and oral sex don't mix.
  • Just Friends: Repeatedly - Chris by an oxygen tank in the ambulance; Mr. Palomino (Jamie's dad) by a falling reindeer from his Christmas display; Chris by Samantha and her tazer gun.

  • Batman Returns. Catwoman kicks Batman down there with a heel-heeled boot; meowtch!
  • Diana aims one at the rather butch, but female, Ronnie during their fight scene near the end of The Players' Club. Ronnie shakes it off far too easily.

Ronnie: Ain't no balls there, bitch.

Diana: Coulda fooled me!
