2* Artemis Bradford's murder. We don't see it, but we see ''some'' sort of gun fire at him, and we get a GoryDiscretionShot of what it actually did to him.
3* Gadget with all of his robotic parts exposed.
4* The tarantula coming out of Robo Gadget.
5* The guru's eyes ''popping out of his head'' when Gadget [[GroinAttack grabs the wrong set of balls]].
6* The film takes this FridgeHorror and makes it Claw's entire plan -- he wants to use the technology used to make Gadget to build armies of robotic soldiers and sell them to the highest bidder. As Claw tells Gadget his plan (in a chilling whisper, to boot), he goes from just coldly relating his intent to seeming to take a sadistic glee in the idea of what he's going to do. QuestionableCasting aside, this is the scene where Claw approaches the fear the cartoon version inspired.
7-->'''Gadget''': Why are you doing this?\
8'''Claw''': I'll tell you why. To make technowarriors that never get tired, never get hungry, and never say "no." Every army in the world will be made up of my creations. Imagine the confusion, Gadget.
9* Robo Gadget in general is deeply unnerving with the white, plastic teeth that, united with his [[BewareTheSillyOnes bizarre but sadistic]] mannerisms that clash against Creator/MatthewBroderick's youthful and soft appearance, make for an unadulterated UnintentionalUncannyValley creep. As pictured, even the visual of [[OffWithHisHead his defeat]] almost looks like a piece of SurrealHorror art when taken out of context.
