Violence & Gore

  • In the final scene, most known for its violence and gore, a trial by combat commences. a man named Oberyn Martell battles another much larger man named Gregor Clegane and, at the end of the battle, Martell slits Clegane's Achilles heel and impales him with a poisoned spear. Martell then circles Clegane, demanding him to confess the rape and murder of Elia Martell and her children. Eventually, Oberyn lets his guard down and Gregor Clegane tumbles him to the ground, punches him in the mouth and causing his teeth to fall off, with some blood splattering on the ground and subsequently, Clegane confesses the murder as he gouges Oberyn's eyes out with his thumbs and we see plenty of blood coming out from his eye-sockets as he screams in extreme agony and eventually, due to the extreme force applied to his skull, Oberyn's head is crushed into a bloody, gory mess with an explosion of blood, brain matter, bone and skin bursting out and splattering everywhere, as Oberyn's wife reacts by screaming in horror and later, we see the extremely gory aftermath, displaying Oberyn's now fully smashed head, with gore surrounding the area and a large pool of blood forming on the surface. This entire sequence is EXTREMELY graphic.
