Am I the only one who finds the subway/crucifixion scene unsettling?
Same question.
shareMan, that whole armed car robbery part is nasty! From beginning to end (the guy up in the tree).
This is a very underrated movie!

The crucifixition scene was pretty bad, but IMO the most unsettling scene was when X's gang kidnapped that girl and drugged her to death with the heroin when they injected her, that was deplorable.

You definitely have a point. I guess the scene in the subway bothers me most because it is so long drawn out and you never see the victim crushed on the train, only the train running over him, leaving the rest to our own horrified imaginations. In that regard it reminds of the scene in the first Exterminator when Ginty sets that guy on fire but we don't see him burn. Only I didn't feel so sorry for that guy.
The rest of the film isn’t frightening at all -- unless you consider how frighteningly bad it is.
I live in the UK, and I purchased the video when it first came out. Some years later it was shown on TV, and there were some additional scenes, such as the sadistic couple who stabbed someone down an alleyway, only to be incinerated shortly later, were seen earlier in the film watching the helecopter pilot burn to death! However on both versions, it was never shown what happened down the subway - you just saw them carrying the man from the armoured car down there, the thugs removing a rail from the track, and in the next scene, X waving his arms as a train screeched through! Obviously there was something cut, but I never knew what until now!
