Top 18 Certificate Scene Poll

Alien named as top 18-rated scene   

Alien featured iconic set design The gory "chestburster" scene in sci-fi classic Alien has been named the greatest 18-certificate movie moment. Movie magazine Empire is marking its 18th birthday with a list of the top 18-rated moments in film. John Hurt's bloody demise edged out the decapitation scene from The Omen, with the transformation sequence in An American Werewolf in London at three.  

TOP FIVE 18 RATED SCENES  

1 Dinner chestburster - Alien
2 Glass decapitation - The Omen
3 Wolf transformation - An American Werewolf in London
4 Crucifix abuse - The Exorcist
5 Ready Ralph? - Risky Business

A second 18-rated poll, for the greatest shower scene, confirmed Psycho as the soap-sud champion. In Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien, astronaut Hurt gets a mystery creature stuck to his face. He appears to have recovered after it falls off but as he sits down to lunch, a fang-toothed creature explodes from his chest. Movie lore claims that to heighten the sense of shock, the rest of the cast were not fully briefed on what was about to happen. The decapitation scene in 1976's apocalyptic thriller The Omen horrified audiences by being shot in slow motion and from multiple angles. Most of the films included in the top 18 are classic horror movies, such as The Exorcist, The Thing and The Evil Dead. But raunch makes an appearance at number five with Rebecca De Mornay's entrance in Risky Business. And gangsters make a significant contribution with Reservoir Dogs, The Godfather and Casino all making the chart. In the shower scene poll, college comedy Porky's comes in at number two, with the volleyball team from Carrie at three.
Personally I think there are some better scenes than that to be number 1.  Sure the Alien scene is a classic but for me the Hey Mom I've been reborn from Peter Jacksons seminal Bad Taste surely should be up there.

As far as shower scenes go Psycho was an obvious one but Porkies and Carrie are excellent choices.  Bet they missed the one from The Imp a.k.a. Sorrority Babes at Slimebowlarma.

I love the chest buster scene with John Hurt but i wouldnt rate it up their as one of the best though my mum when she first watched it was sick in the cinema after that, so i guess in those days it was pretty horrible! I dont tend to watch movies of that kind, but if i had to choose, i would say Auditions scene with the woman Sawing the guys feet off with the wire is pretty brutal to watch and for me is one of the best.

Whoo! Another pointless poll for us to argue over. biggrin.gif

I think the Alien scene is pretty iconic but I would also nominate the sliced off face sliding down the wall from Ichi The Killer.

I'd say when the Preacher gets Maimed by the Crusifix, that's the Most gory part of the Omen, but on the other hand when the Nanny hangs herself and says "It's all for you damien, it's all for you" That's the most Disturbing part.

It's just a Nasty film, and you know what? I f**king love it :D

The fight between Ash and his hand from Evil Dead 2 should probably be there.

I also think the final act from Society should be in there too. That's f*cking gross (but in a good way).
