Let's see if we can get a top ten list going here. I want everyone to list their favorite scenes featuring the most underrated of stock comic gags, the nut shot. I'll start it off:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)
For a profoundly silly show based on giant robots with giant weapons using spectacularly ridiculous fighting moves, they brought out a decidedly unspectacular move for their climactic scene. Battling the gigantic purple Ivan Ooze from inside their giant robot in the vacuum of space, the Rangers decide to turn around the losing battle, hitting a giant last-minute panic button to unleash their secret weapon. That secret weapon? A knee to Ivan's mighty morphin' private parts.
Casino Royale (2006)
Okay, you all remember this one. Bond's had his genitals in serious danger before, most infamously by a creeping laser in the immortal Goldfinger. But hey, why threaten a guy with a big expensive laser when all you need is a blunt object, right? Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Idiocracy (2006)
Did any of you see this one? Well, in the dystopian future of this kind of depressing comedy, all the smart people have died, leaving only the 'tards and dipshits to populate the Earth. The most popular show on TV? A program called "Oh, My Balls!" in which the main character gets repeatedly, without interruption, whacked in the testes by various objects and projectiles. I'd watch it. |

Total Recall Arnie crowns himself king of the nut shots in this action piece. He takes ball-busting blows on Earth AND Mars! At this stage his planets must be in orbit!
The Austrian Oak entered the painful world of " man down " cinema in " Last Action Hero " where he is the giver rather than the taker. After kicking an unfortunate fellow in the fundamentals he cracks wise " Like a small farmer - he's got a couple of achers! ". |

Only because I've seen commercials on TV for it lately do I remember this one:
Scary Movie 4 or whichever, the one with Charlie Sheen, where Simon Rex slams bowling balls into Charlie's crotch. |

Another is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I can't recall the scene exactly but I think Newman, who is about to fight another man, says something like, "Let's discuss the rules first." When the other guy says "What rules?" Newman kicks him in the groin and says "There are no rules." (I don't think that 100 per cent accurate, but it was something along those lines.)
You mean this scene?
[Harvey has challenged Butch to fight for control of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang] Harvey Logan: Guns or knives?
Butch Cassidy: Neither?
Harvey Logan: Pick.
Butch Cassidy: I don't want to shoot with you Harvey.
Harvey Logan: [draws a big knife] Anything you say, Butch.
[Butch walks over to Sundance]
Butch Cassidy: [in a low voice] Maybe there's a way to make a profit in this. Bet on Logan.
Sundance Kid: I would, but who'd bet on you?
Harvey Logan: Sundance, when we're done, and he's dead, you're welcome to stay.
Butch Cassidy: [low voice, to Sundance] Listen, I don't mean to be a sore loser, but when it's done, if I'm dead, kill him.
Sundance Kid: [low voice to Butch] Love to.
[waves to Harvey and smiles]
Butch Cassidy: No, no, not yet. Not until me and Harvey get the rules straightened out.
Harvey Logan: Rules? In a knife fight? No rules.
[Butch immediately kicks Harvey in the groin]
Butch Cassidy: Well, if there aint' going to be any rules, let's get the fight started. Someone count. 1,2,3 go.
Sundance Kid: [quickly] 1,2,3, go.
[Butch knocks Harvey out]
Flat Nose Curry: I was rooting for you all along, Butch.
Butch Cassidy: Well, thank you, Flatnose. That's what sustained me in my time of trouble.
It's the first one that came to mind when I read the first post. Ouch. |

Yukie is right. Best cinematic ball kick ever was delivered by Butch Cassidy, and that boot is indeed a blunt instrument. |

Something to Talk About (1995)
Julia Roberts finds out that her husband, Dennis Quaid, has been cheating on her. She leaves her husband to live with her outspoken sister on her family's horse ranch. One day Quaid shows up at the sister's place and the sister gives him an unexpected "greeting." |

There's a rather impressive improvised swinging sideways heel kick to the balls of Wee Man in Jackass 2. Plus there was the 'punchbag' scene in the dream sequence in Dumb and Dumber. |

No, no, no. I want blows to the balls with blunt objects. Not impalements like in There's Something About Mary, not shootings like in RoboCop, not castrations like in Sin City. I want punches, smacks and whacks.

This one's a stretch, but I think it's valid:
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Kirk and McCoy are in a Klingon penal colony/deathcamp and Kirk runs into trouble when a huge ogre-like thing wants his blanket. It's not long before Kirk finds himself fighting for his life and gets picked up and thrown to the ground like a rag doll, and while lying on his back looking up at this thing that wants to beat him up, he gives him (it?) a hard kick to the knees with the soles of his boots. The Thing just gets angrier, then suddenly he stops, his face curls up into a grimace of pain, and he just crumples, whimpering like a little girl.
Kirk gets up and finds himself talking to some woman who for some reason seems willing to help him adjust to his new situation:
"They'll respect you now."
"That's a comfort. I was lucky that thing had knees!"
"That was not his knee."
[Stunned silence from Kirk]
"Not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place, captain."
I guess it's the dialog that makes it great.
There's a similar gag in Men in Black II. Both the best and worst scene in that terrible movie. |

None come to mind at the moment, but it's fascinating that so far, all the fwiffers who have recalled nut shots are men. Maybe the women are still laughing? |

I seem to remember Richard Gere being given a boot in the groin from Louis Gossett Jr in Officer and a Gentleman. All the blokes in the cinema made an involuntary sharp inward breath  . All the girls laughed  . |
