9 BEST VOMIT SCENES ON FILMPOSTED BY Buckminster Schumacker III | TUESDAY MARCH 10 AT 9:25 PDT
 With the I LOVE YOU, MAN DVD & Blu-Ray hitting the street on August 11th, Screen Junkies decided this list needed a bit of an update (or upchuck, perhaps). We're still paying homage to the vomit takes, barf clips and hurl gags that came "B.R." (That's "Before Rudd"), but we want to lead this list with an all-new exclusive DVD clip that tells you just HOW they pulled off the now infamous scene of Rudd puking all over IRON MAN 2 director (and occasional actor) Jon Favreau. Now that you know just how much work can go into convincingly recreating someone losing his lunch on film, enjoy nine more courses of gastrointestinal eviction:
#9 THE PAROLE OFFICERWith a few exceptions (like Hamlet 2), Brit comedian Steve Coogan is known for much subtler, sophisticated comedy. This clip from The Parole Officer is another one of those exceptions. As if we didn't already know that queasiness plus G-Forces are a recipe for airborne barf stew, Coogan reminds us with panache. He also reminds us how funny it is to answer a question by simply vomiting. 'Nuff said.
#8 TORCHWOODTorchwood is a spinoff of the BBC's Dr. Who series. It's about a team of secret paranormal investigators in Cardiff, Wales. We already know that the UK offers some pretty paranormal food to begin with (steak and kidney pie, anyone?). But it's even weirder coming out, especially when the person vomiting it up is standing on his head like some opening act from Siegfried and Roy's Gastrointestinal Mystery Tour. You'd better put your feet up on your desk so they don't get meaty chunks all over them.
#7 THE EXORCISTI still can't eat pea soup without thinking about this classic clip. Consequently, I don't eat pea soup. The Exorcist teaches us that when you're dealing with an über-demon possessing the body of a little girl, and you think you've got them in a corner because their appendages just happen to be tied down, you don't ask any questions that could possibly be answered with projectile vomit all over your face. What the filmmakers cut was the revelation that the priest's mother's middle name was "Pukington."
#6 STAND BY MEOh, the Legend of Lardass. This may take the cake... er... pie for most people vomiting simultaneously in a single shot. It's nothing less than inspired. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's an American Institution in and of itself. I'm going to lobby for it to become required storytelling at all Cub Scout camp outs, and that there should be a merit badge given to the Scout who actually induces one of their Troop members to actually vomit. Lardass's story is verbal ipecac.
#5 POULTRYGEISTThis clip is from behind-the-scenes of one of Troma's later films. I think it's a great follow-up to Stand By Me, as it shows the elaborate choreography it takes to pull off such convincing "group vomit". Okay, so this is actually pretty shitty, but the actors sure are into it. I know when I vomit, I like to then adjust my position to ensure the maximum amount of vomit lands on the person next to me. I really love it when, instead of running away, they then return the favor. That's the beauty of Troma.
#4 CITY OF THE LIVING DEADItalian horror maestro Lucio Fulci directed this, so you know it's gonna be good n' gory. You also know it will look as if badly ADR'd (and it is, but boy does that make it even better). Fast forward a bit to get to the good stuff, and marvel as a killer induces vomiting with his mind. Side effects may include: bleeding from the eyes, vomiting blood, vomiting bloody intestines, and rectal bleeding (not seen). #3 MEET THE FEEBLESIf you haven't seen this film in its entirety, you need to finish reading this article, then drop everything and watch it. It's one of Peter Jackson's earlier films, and if you aren't aware, Mr. Jackson had a proclivity for really dark gross-out humor, as well as puppets. This clip is the first I can recall of a puppet vomiting. The puppet in question also happens to be a rabbit with AIDs. Ahem. Right. #2 MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFEYou know what happens when you eat too much rich French cuisine? Your stomach gets blow'd up. Even when the Matire'd is kind enough to supply you with a silver-lined bucket in which to "deposit" your truffles, petits-fours and fois gras. They don't do that during Scampi Fest at Red Lobster.
#1 TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICEI saved this one for last, because it's a bit of a cinematic puke-pourri. Puppets? Check. Ridiculously lengthy vomits? Double check. But I think it's the dramatic music laid over Gary hitting rock bottom that really sells it home for me. There's nothing that says gravitas like the combo of a full orchestral score and barf splattering asphalt.

March 10th, 2009 at 01:02 pm Babies! Let's bring back the Dead Baby joke!
March 10th, 2009 at 01:20 pm How can you do this list and not include the scene from Porky's 2?
March 10th, 2009 at 01:31 pm you totally forgot the funeral scene from "mafia" with jay mohr! that's epic, exaggerated vomit glory!!!
March 10th, 2009 at 02:02 pm
Good call on Porky's 2, Anonymous. I shall try to include it.
March 19th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
you also need to include the original amytville horror the scene where that nun pulls over and ralphs is priceless
March 10th, 2009 at 03:17 pm No Problem Child 2?
March 10th, 2009 at 03:24 pm No Sandlot?? Ditto on the Problem Chid 2
March 10th, 2009 at 03:24 pm Ya, Problem Child 2 would win hands down.
March 10th, 2009 at 03:28 pm oh yeah and what about Apollo 13...gravity defying vomit!
March 10th, 2009 at 03:29 pm and the 6 shlitz-vomit from Super Troopers! That was real too.
March 10th, 2009 at 03:40 pm there's a great scene in "Henry Fool" where the protagonist is pressured to literally kiss a female bully's ass- he instead vomits all over it.
March 10th, 2009 at 04:33 pm What about "Barfly?"
March 10th, 2009 at 05:01 pm I saw City of the Living Dead at a drive-in back in 1980 and that scene still makes me sick when I see it. I also loved the drillbit through the temple. This movie hooked me on horror/gore for life.
March 10th, 2009 at 07:04 pm Okay, the simple fact that you missed these: The Fly, The Sandlot, Problem Child 2, Trainspotting, Mallrats (though not as visual), and Super Troopers= EPIC FAIL.
March 10th, 2009 at 07:24 pm
I say fair enough on Sandlot, Problem Child 2 and maybe Super Troopers, but I'd still put any of the above over the Fly, Mallrats and Trainspotting.
March 10th, 2009 at 08:00 pm Holy shit! You must be kidding me! I don't even understand why the puke scene from The Sandlot is not on this list. It not only had 8-10 kids puking at once, but it also had a tilt-a-whirl. That was a classic.
March 10th, 2009 at 08:14 pm is City of the Living Dead also known as gates of hell? time for a snack
March 10th, 2009 at 09:57 pm
Yep, City of the Living Dead is also known as Gates of Hell
March 11th, 2009 at 02:00 am Problem Child 2 should be totally be on there
March 11th, 2009 at 03:22 am As an honorable mention, I would add the gluttony scene from Se7en. Even though the act of vomit is not in the scene, the reaction when Mills finds the bucket is priceless.
March 11th, 2009 at 05:23 am What about SEMI-PRO. That was pure comedy at its finest!
March 11th, 2009 at 10:43 am I would have to say that although she didn't physically vomit, the scene in Porky's 2 where Kaki Hunter is emptying her fake tit in the fountain causing the entire room to upchuck should be included as it is the reaction that is memorable
March 11th, 2009 at 11:59 am Is it just me? Almost all videos are gone, and my nerd boner is shrinking. I wanted to see the vomit.
March 11th, 2009 at 12:10 pm out of 10 clips only 1 remains...nice one patrick...loser.
March 11th, 2009 at 02:03 pm
taking care of the problem, everyone... should be back up shortly. Thanks for the vote of confidence, "Anonymous".

March 12th, 2009 at 12:50 am And Bad Taste.
March 12th, 2009 at 01:45 pm No 'Zapped'? Telekinetic vomit traveling across the room to the sink? Classic...
March 12th, 2009 at 04:07 pm what about the puke scene from family guy with Peter Stewie and Brian
March 12th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
That Family Guy clip is definitely a classic, but I wanted to go with live action only. At least THIS TIME around.
March 13th, 2009 at 02:24 am How could you not include the vomitorium that marks the finale of wonderfully gross 'Guest House Paradiso', starring the British Comedians Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson? Check YouTube for this gem if you missed it in America. Look for an early performance of Simon 'Sean of the Dead' Pegg.
March 13th, 2009 at 06:41 am Ok, at the risk of being "gay" Witches of Eastwick with Jack nicholson throwing up cherries in the church was a complete miss. I mean its Jack Fucking Nicholson for crying out loud!!!!
March 13th, 2009 at 06:43 am I think this deserves a second look gentlemen!! A V2.0 so to speak.
March 13th, 2009 at 07:17 am great puke man! buoahhh!!;))))))))
March 13th, 2009 at 05:27 pm este chiko es un demonio?!?!?!?!?!!?!? No esta en el ranking?!?!?!?! Imperdonable. Es la mejor potada, sin duda.
March 14th, 2009 at 01:38 pm Pero que es esta mierda?
March 15th, 2009 at 09:12 am CERDOS YANKIS
March 16th, 2009 at 06:15 am Guesthouse Paradiso is definitely the one missing.
March 16th, 2009 at 12:10 pm Indeed, Guesthouse Paradiso would have easily won this.
March 24th, 2009 at 09:47 am Peter Jackson's BAD TASTE !!!!! The best......before eating it....see film for details
May 9th, 2009 at 08:23 pm you forgot Street Trash...
July 24th, 2009 at 06:31 pm Although you don't see much vomit, I like Woody Harrelson's vomit scene in KingPin. The surrounding circumstances add to the scene. "You really jarred something loose tiger."
August 28th, 2009 at 11:27 am a well deserved number 1 and i agree with the Semi-Pro comment hahaha excellent.
September 3rd, 2009 at 04:26 am Odd that despite drinking for seven-ish hours, the only clip there (despite like 75% that I'd not seen before) that affected me was the Team America one, which I've seen probably dozens of times. I pride myself on not being a puker (notable exceptions: horrible reaction to some iffy drugs, also perfectly normal reaction to perfectly normal drugs) but man. For some reason that clip at this point in time made my stummy churn. No idea why.
September 29th, 2009 at 02:23 pm WHAT ABOUT THE MOVIE THE PEST.. that should of been in top 5
October 13th, 2009 at 10:40 pm Good morning. A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth. I am from Monaco and also now teach English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Pads: for a state stapling cream, a sore foot from many foods and health will slow the system." THX :), Studs.
October 14th, 2009 at 06:32 am kingpin hands down the chunks and sounds just brutal
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:14 pm The Sandlot was a classic
November 5th, 2009 at 12:09 pm Mafia and Scary Movie 2 also had insane vomit scenes.
