Tropes

Phallic Weaponin 131 titlesAbout as obvious as this trope ever gets. Among the sadomasochistic ways that one can supposedly get sexual pleasure is by the friction of a knife in the body after one gets stabbed.Bloody Hilariousin 442 titlesYour mileage may vary as to how much of this film is disturbing and how much of it is over-the-top comedy.All 21 tropes
