The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)
I have the DVD, so i have lots of very big screenshots. *fangirlgasm* - I can tell i'm gonna wear out my DVD of this one.
I just LUB the abuse he takes in this film. Of all the films he's done (that I've seen, and i'm getting there on most of them!), this [and less so Lost Highway] are the best for Bill!torture/angst. Yes.
Poor scrotum. Poor forehead. LOVED HIM TIED TO THE CHAIR.
It also looked to me that though he had a stuntman do some things for him, some of the fighting etc, he clearly did a number of physical things in this film himself - falling down stairs and such. Woof.
And Bill shirtless.... *swoon* That man was/is so gorgeous. Nice and skinny, but still completely ripped in my book. Yum.
The plot is okay, I guess. I mean, isnt there a MacGyver episode that's pretty much the same story? Haiti/Little Haiti, and tetrodotoxin / paralysis / zombies, makes it out alive with the girl, etc etc. Still, this was plenty violent and exquisitely torturesque, much more so than MacGyver was, lol. Whee.
Yes to the Bill!torture. More more more! Thanksmooncove, everyone, for the rec!
*dies a fangirly wet dream death now* - I made icons. :D

Oh man. I remember when I first watched what happened to his scrotum I screamed so loud. It was terrible, but seeing him in that chair was so nice, hehehe.

repressedforgotten most of those details--that movie grossed me out so bad (and made me never want to go anywhere near Haiti ... or a puffer fish!) ... Otherwise, I'd have realized it was right up your alley! ;-) Actually, I don't remember the scrotum part at all (thank God), but ...(spoiler)
... wasn't there a scene where he gets buried alive? That's the scene that's still vividly stuck in my head! One of the most horrifying movies I think I've ever seen. (Not that it wasn't well done ... but the realism just made it all the more horrifying. In fact, I think it was based on a true story, wasn't it?)

There's an icon of him in the chair in my little icondump...
Its based on a book by the same name, which i must go obtain as soon as possible, by Wade Davis.
