PokerPacker Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 1 hour ago, DogofWar1 said: Old Boy (original japanese version) deserves a special mention because of the hammer scene. Y'all know the one. Korean, actually. Also deserves special mention in regards to the thread title seeing as it's not just a revenge movie, but a revenge movie wrapped in a revenge movie. What about The Last House On The Left? (I've only seen the remake) I thought it was gonna be a horror movie. It starts really dark, and not in a cartoony kind of way. But then takes a satisfying turn towards vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Oh sweet jebus I can't believe I just made that mistake. It's been a while, so forgot it was Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 How could i forget?! Revenge movies? How about the actual film titled "Vengeance?" Saw it years ago. A Frenchman's daughter and grandchildren are brutally murdered. seeking justice, he teams up with a Chinese hit squad, and together they chase bad guys all over China in an ULTRA-violent revenge thriller. 91% on Rotten. It's mandatory viewing. awesome movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Charles Bronson movies. Back to Gone Girl for a second. Amy Dunne just pulverizes every man she's involved with. Not a sympathetic character at all. I ended up rooting for the men in her life. I still can't figure her motivation out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time I saw it, I thought it was going to be a piece of ****...and then realized it was going to be amazing once they killed his dog. THEY KILLED HIS DOG. And then he went on a tremendous rampage. Might not be my favorite revenge film, but it's up there. Other mentions: Gladiator, Leon: the Professional, Taken, Kill Bill. Yours?

Also currently available on Netflix streaming. I just happened on this movie several years ago. Fantastic movie and I watch it whenever it comes on. Great movie. For older folks, the Last House On The Left (original) was a great revenge film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very much quintessential revenge movie as it goes from the act, to the coming together, and finally to the revenge. As with the 70's type of movies, it isn't everyone's cup of tea as it is very raw and 'right in your face'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some can't appreciate the sheer violence in the movie both from the act and the revenge. I suspect the issue they have is how real it felt rather than the over-the-top violence you get in action movies or the likes of Saw. I know I was uncomfortable during the act, but isn't that how you should feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Mine's gotta be Unforgiven. Especially at the end when it switches from professional revenge (you know, to collect the money) to personal revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to your post thinking, man, I can't believe the OG of modern era revenge movies hadn't been mentioned: CB in Death Wish. Too bad they made all those cheesy sequels. He did another awesome one called Mr. Majestyk that I highly recommend you guys find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta think Once Upon a Time in the West would fit the revenge genre too. The opening sequence is amazing. Bad Henry Fonda was a bad mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
