What's your favorite violent film scene (with an endearing comical overtone)?

    You see, many top level film producers understand that, to capture violence and murder on film in such a way that is palatable to a viewing audience, there simply must be an associated element of comedy spliced in there.

    Films now-a-days, many of them go totally OTT with violence in a pathetic effort to encapsulate the "shock factor".

    To me that's simply not enjoyable cinema.

    Some of the more classically produced films however, they knew that to make violence presentable, there had to be an associated element of character to what may otherwise be quite a distasteful depiction of an obscene act.

    And one film that really stands out for me in this capacity is, "Goodfella's".

    I think my favorite depiction of violence in this film (and there are several), is the time when Pesci/DeNiro are in the process of opening a can of whoop-ass on Frank Vincent in the bar room scene.

    It's kind of like the camera work which switches from Pesci's insane looking little-man-syndrome face of frustration, to DeNiro's resolute conviction to the task at hand.

    To me there's just an element of comic genius that simply went MIA outside of the classical era.
