That was a really brutal film, Mel Gibson’s Payback was a kind of remake.

Who was more brutal, Marvin or Gibson, both were pretty menacing.

I'm not sure who was more brutal but the scene in "Pay Back" where the mob smashed Gibson's toes with a two pound sledge hammer, still gives me chills when I re-watch it.

I know it's fake, and only a movie...but I still shudder at the thought of that anticipation of pain.

I know what you mean, every time I watch that film I can get the same chilly feeling, and that guy doing the hammering seems to really enjoy his work.

I have read a few stories about The Outfit in Chicago and what they would do to people.
