I just finished watching a Korean sadistic gore fest from 2010 (w/ English sub-titles). Killer revenge scenes throughout, and especially at the end.

Basil Rathbone was a member of Britain's fencing team in the 1924 Olympics.
As for revenge scene.

Howard Hughe's Hell's Angels - In WW I German Zepellins had been bombing London at will. The British finally had planes that could fly high enough to shoot one down. Any resemblance to any body part of the Prez is strictly a coincidence.

Got the wrong guy, but I found this cathartic. Wanted to do this to my boss at the time.
They had planes that could fly high enough. They just couldn't shoot them down. It took a while and a lot of scientific ingenuity to figure out how.
The Zeppelins were armed with machine guns which could easily shoot down a slow moving plane of the era. Even when a plane managed to hit a zeppelin with its machine guns, the solid projectiles would make holes in the gas bag and cause only slow gas leaks.
After the initial strike on London in May 1915, zeppelins continued to hit the city with impunity, timing raids to coincide with good weather and moonless nights. Not wanting to foment panic, British civil authorities gave few air raid warnings beyond policemen on bicycles blowing whistles and shouting for people to “take cover.” Technology also limited what Britain could do to stop the zeppelins early in the war because its airplanes were unable to soar as high as the lighter-than-air craft and machine gun fire had no effect...
... The British also began to target the zeppelins’ major vulnerability, their highly flammable hydrogen. By mid-1916, they had developed airplanes that could reach higher altitudes and fire both explosive bullets, which could tear large holes into a zeppelin’s outer skin and allow oxygen to pour into the hydrogen chambers, and incendiary bullets, which could light the volatile gaseous cocktail on fire.

The Allies only started to exploit the Zeppelin's great vulnerability to fire when a combination of Pomeroy and Brock explosive ammunition with Buckingham incendiary ammunition was used in fighter aircraft machine guns during 1916.[54]
... Zeppelins were very difficult to attack successfully at high altitude, although this also made accurate bombing impossible. Aeroplanes struggled to reach a typical altitude of 10,000 feet (3,000 m), and firing the solid bullets usually used by aircraft Lewis guns was ineffectual: they made small holes causing inconsequential gas leaks. Britain developed new bullets, the Brock containing oxidant potassium chlorate, and the Buckingham filled with phosphorus, which reacted with the chlorate to catch fire and hence ignite the Zeppelin's hydrogen. These had become available by September 1916.[85] - Source - Wikipedia
The means of escape used by the Zepellin Captain in the movie was to jetison water ballast and any extra weight to try to rise above the effective ceiling of the planes. Obviously they could not force crew to jump out of the dirigible fast enough to gain altitude. Remember this is a partly fictional and partly historical film shot between 1927-1930 after the Great War.
Robert Mugabe is correct that with the non-incindiery bullets used pre-1916 were less than effecftive against Zepellins, even though hydrogen does burn. That is why 1930's dirigibles and WW II and later blimps switched to helium gas. The plot line ,however, does suggest that the Zepellin Captain was in fact trying to escape by rising above the ceiling of the plane by throwing out the kitchen sink and some of the crew.
I appreciate the comments. This beats playing checkers until the border opens up. But the Hindenburg crash in 1937 below shows that hydrogen was too flammable to use in airships.

Or this one...Krysten Ritter has many fans.
I mentioned in the sweater thread that by sacrificing Jane, meek Walter White transformed into the Keyser Soze like Heisenberg.

Just rewatched Orange is the New Black and man, the women and what they do to each other.
like Steal the date - where you frame an inmate days before they are getting out so they get charged and more time. Usually on some drug charges so a few years added on.
one girl sets up another on the outside to force her back into jail.
not to mention all the other shit to get an inmate sent to the SHU or to psych, or to get beat by the guards.
girls sleeping with guards to frame them for rape.
It was some outlandish shit going on.
