So this cop at UC Davis named John Pike totally pepper sprayed these seated, non-violent protesters right in their non-violent faces. Perhaps you’ve seen two or three hundred memes and articles about it. Anyway, we’re just happy that pepper spray is back in the news. We missed pepper-spray-centric journalism. Consequently, we’ve decided to celebrate by listing some really great pepper spray scenes.

Also, because it’s the holidays.

In this scene between Alabama and one of Vincenzo Coccoti’s (Christopher Walken) henchman, Virgil, there is a bloody struggle as she fights for her life. He beats her mercilessly, but she is able to overcome, because she has Elvis on her side. The pepper spray does little to phase the henchman, played by James Gandolfini, but he is slowed enough by it, and a corkscrew in the foot, to succumb.

*For the purposes of this article, hairspray and a lighter counts as pepper spray.

Silence of the Lambs

That poor guard. That’s what you get for leaving paper clips laying about. You get your face eaten, then you get the bloody hole filled with pepper spray. It’s pretty unpleasant. Wait. I’m not done. Then you get your face peeled off and put on Hannibal’s face so that the other cops think he’s you, and put him in an ambulance instead of a cop car.

All because of some paper clip.
