The first really violent scene I saw was in the Arnold Schwarzenegger film "Commando". We were on a family holiday and my brother found a VHS of it in the place we were staying and put it on. Near the beginning, a bin lorry pulls up outside a man's house and he rushes down the drive in his white towelling bathrobe because he's forgotten to put his bin out. He's pleased to have caught them, as you would be. Missing the bins is awful. The bin men then get out uzis (they weren't actually bin men you see) and pepper him with bullets for what seems like ages, the blood oozing through his white towelling bathrobe. It really disturbed me. I couldn't sleep. Couldn't get it out of my head. When I was making "Get Shot", I couldn't get it to reset, having the effect of making the gun sound loop continuously if you are hovering over the target, in quite a horrific way. This made me think of the scene in Commando. The game forces you through the scenes building up to the shooting, and then you can't get out of it.
