I found that rather entertaining then scary proberly one of the best parts of the film for me,but if it was me zorin was shooting at then ofcourse, it would make me want to find the nearest exit away from the mad man
I know it's tame compared to many many movies, but it's the rather graphic nature of that scene which disturbs me. It's a bit too graphic for a Bond film, in my opinion.
There's a similar scene in TND where the surviving sailors of HMS Devonshire are slaughtered by Stamper using his machine gun. You don't see any of the sailors being killed, you just see Stamper firing his machine gun from side to side. It's not as graphic as the scene from AVTAK, but it's just as effective.
Now, that's the way it should be done.
You mean the pumping well im not suprised at it scareing you at the age of 8 or 9 it gave me sleepless nights at the age of 15, everytime i closed my eyes all i saw was the pumping well and blood.
Surprisingly though, I also get disturbed by the PTS of Diamonds Are Forever. I say this because I have a massive fear of suffocation and the thought of chocking to deat in a vat of mud scares away my bejesus.
I agree, that is almost unbearable. Therefore I didn't quite understand the PTS of FYEO with Blofeld. Bond treated him as any "normal" villain. But this guy was responsible for the death of his wife! I would have expected that he, at least, should have said something like "you killed my wife and now you wanna bargain your life out of it?". I found this a plot hole.
As for the topic, I remember that I found the PTS of YOLT quite disturbing when the SPECTRE ship cut the hose of the astronaut.
I'd also have to add the head exploding in LTK was quite disturbing to me also.
Then there's Dario's death. Just imagine being him then and your legs being shredded and the rest of you shredded and lots of blood and the pain and and and - I can't go on! I can't go on imagining all that!
For example: Vijay's head being cut by the yo yo.
Saunders head being decapitated.
Carver being torn up by the Sea Cutter.
Things like that are the most disturbing.
Well I was fine with all that, but I'd forgotten the thing that really made me feel sick:
When Felix got fed to the shark. It was just so... disturbing!
Elliott Carver's death is pretty disturbing for me. Not just because it's grisly (imagine being ground to death!) but also because of Carver's screams, and look of terror as it advances. Bond's sadism in the scene doesn't help either.

FYEO, then and now, is full of chills for me. The previously mentioned sinking of the St. Georges wasn't nearly as harrowing as revisting the wreck site later on in the story. The act of drowning is a familiar one which doesn't frighten me as much as one burning to death, however men eternally trapped in an underwater tomb such as the monument to the valiant seamen of the USS Arizona I do find very frightening.
The swarthy evil visaged Greek henchman severing Bond's grappling lines one by one. The climbing dagger that ended his aims, his subsequent plunge and revealment of identity.
Kristatos' utterly cruel and sadistic temperament leaving one of his own men to the sharks. His impatience to kill Bond and Melina and the final cut of the killers moving in.
From GF -the famous laser room scene. Many refer to this as a castration but do you really believe the aim here was to merely render Bond sexually sterile? It was to render him physically dead. But only after he suffered the hells of damnation. Too bad the novel's method wasn't employed, a much worse scenario if ever there was one.
The very same, and the realism of each film didn't help either.
Just for clarification's sake, the man thrown to the sharks in TB is Quist.

Yes the last audible words he said, are always in my memory:
"See you in Hell, Sanchez!"
But I thought that before that the,
"We gave her a nice Honeymooooooooooon," was always a bit brutal.
Jinx casually cutting off Mr Kil's hand in DAD is also a bit creepy.
I often wonder what women think of Bond films as there are so many female victims in the genre - being coerced into sex, pushed around and/or killed.
