I realize this thread's older than some people I know, but I can't help being reminded of the original Friday the 13th, in which Harry Crosby supposedly really slaughtered a gorgeous snake with a machete. I like snakes better than some people I've met, so I consider this the most (or maybe only) disturbing kill in the entire series.
Animals WERE harmed in the making of this movie
Sorry I can't get upset about Reptiles, Fish, Insects, and Birds.
my personal experience is birds are A-holes and the absolute worst.

Wasnt the water buffalo part of a native ceramony? Not really immoral to film it imo. Ive seen several foriegn films with animal death though.
The movie October: Ten Days That Shook the World (1928), has a scene where a horse falls of a bridge and smashes into the ground and it looks like it was shot for real, throwing a real horse of a bridge.
I tried looking it up but could not find any info on whether or not it was real though, but has anyone see the movie and have any thoughts?

It's real, but what is one horse when you want to commemorate so many brave comrades that made the revolution? /s

So the horse was killed when making the movie for real then?
t's sad! and it's hard for me to watch films where they use trip wires to make a horse violently fall down. Thank goodness The Human Society stepped in and started safe guarding animals being used in film making.

Snow Buddies (2008)
The film: A straight-to-DVD sequel to Disney’s ‘Air Buddies’, about five mischievous golden receivers. Not a classic.
What happened? Basically, five puppies died on set. Disney unknowingly used underage and ill dogs during production, and several had to be put down after contracting parvovirus. Dogs used on movie sets must be at least eight-weeks-old, and these weren’t. The breeder who supplied the poor creatures was charged with fraud for falsifying health documents. Not the best PR for a Disney flick

That one about the King's Speech is kinda funny in a tragic sense. You wouldn't believe for a second that that phrase is copyrighted since nearly EVERY TV Show parodies it.

"The Andromeda Strain"
A monkey and a mouse were "killed" in a cage when exposed to the "virus". It was approved by the ASPCA, who were present on set. The two scenes certainly looked real, but they were just deprived of oxygen and were rendered unconscious by CO2. An asst director was just off set to revive them immediately, which brought the animals back to life. Cruel yes, but not deadly.

Alright, I didn't want to bring it up because it is a sacred cow, but Return of the Jedi. Turns out many Bothans died securing that intelligence on the Death Star. And the sickest part of it is that none of it is on-screen anyway. There was no need. Sick.
The Abyss had the now infamous scene showing the rat being submerged into a oxygenated liquid cage and was actually breathing underwater. The scene has been removed from virtually all copies of the movie and quite hard to find the full scene anywhere.

Well, the big one here is probably Cannibal Holocaust. A pig is shot, spiders, snakes, and a monkey are killed with machetes. But the two most disturbing are probably the coatimundi that is sliced open alive and the turtle that is decapitated and ripped apart.

That was a mistake, as he was onstage and didn't know/think it was a real bat.
The dove, however... He was completely off his head.

On that same line, Nicolas Cage ate a live cockroach for Vampire's Kiss. Director was OK with the one take, but he insisted on doing a second one
