Thread: Favourite straights scenes in movies

In the HBO series "Rome" there are several scenes where Caesar is being shaved by one of his slaves with a device that looks somthing like the Japanese razors from another thread.

Clean shaven was the predominant style of the Republic, so I imagine they had a relatively advanced method for making razors. Or maybe they just had to live with the pain. ;p

Just saw a recent French flick, Cache, with Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, and Maurice Benichou. Involved a Holy Sh-t moment with a straight, I presume a Thiers-Issards. I won't give away the ending, but oh, wow. (Binoche is usually Oh, wow with me as well).

I love Ms. Tatou in pretty much everything I have seen with her

sorry - not related to razors

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

finally. I can't believe this took so long. It was the first movie that I thought of.
That line of that song is forever associated with straight razors in my mind.
Good song too.

Kill bill, where the bride frees herself from her bonds with a straight.

damn!! I saw that film before I was into straights so it never stuck. I'll have to see it again now.!

I am loving the scene is reservoir dogs where Mr ?? slices the cops ear off, probably promotes a scary picture of Straights but in my mind they are not the most user friendly item in the world, i know i would not give my child a straight to fall asleep with.

You know I found that part of the film very disturbing.. I never watched it again. Don't know just bothered me alot.

Same here. Watched it once and never again.

Interestingly enough, it bothered the actor that played Mr. Blonde quite a bit as well. Apparently when he begins dousing the police officer in gasoline, the cop's pleading line about having a young daughter was ad-libbed. The actor playing Mr. Blonde (I am terrible with real names, you can wiki reservoir dogs if you really want to know it) actually started crying during the take and they had to re-shoot the scene. Tarantino kept the line because he really liked it.
