The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm. Terry Gilliam, 2005.
😿😿😿
Edition screened: Miramax DVD, released 2005. English language. Runtime approximately 118 minutes.

Summary: Particularly offensive depictions for mistaken comedic effect.

Details:
1) A pile of vipers seeking only to escape is hacked to pieces with a sword, 7:50-7:57.
2) A rabbit hanging by its feet is skinned and gutted, 29:04-29:42. This seems to go on forever, is extremely graphic, and meant to be funny. Hey, get this: The dude with the sword who is like some witch hunter or something? He’s like totally grossed out by this hot babe gutting this rabbit. You had to see it.
3) Another jackass in the same hut appears to throw a dagger into a living rabbit, immediately revealed to be just a fur or carcass hanging on the wall, 29:44.
4) Dialogue with the yuck-it-up rabbit corpse hanging in the middle-ground continues through 30:35.
5) A man bragging to be afraid of nothing is startled by a kitten, and kicks it into a torture device designed like a garlic chopper. Blood flies everywhere, including onto Terry Gilliam’s gelatinous thigh which he slaps in hilarity as he explains the irony and gut-splitting humor of all this in some bonus feature.
