Rambo/Nightmare Fuel

The entire series is littered with these.

First Blood

 * When Rambo gets arrested, despite his uncooperative nature it seems pretty standard. That is until the other officers, Galt especially beat, hose and restrain him. Triggering his very serious case of Post Traumatic Stress disorder from his days as a prisoner of war. The highlights include Galt restraining Rambo with his club which causes him to remember the Vietcong hoisting him up on a mock crucifix style restraint. At first when he realizes they are just holding him still to shave him, he seems to calm down. However, upon seeing the straight razor, he remembers the other half of the torture, where a Vietcong guard slashes him repeatedly across the chest. This in turn causes Rambo to snap and become a one man wrecking crew, in what seems to be an awesome escape. However what makes the scene scary, is that when he does snap, the first thing he lets out is a horrific high pitched scream.  While screaming is a trademark of Sylvester Stallone, this one stands out above the rest as it's a terrifying high pitched vocal chord splitting shriek compared to his usual manly scream. It also serves as a reminder of how much Rambo suffered before he entered Hope Washington.
