The tennis ball to the head/crotch thread
so I'm watching Mr. Deeds (I know) and he serves the ball into the guys head multiple times and then I see the previews to the new Hugh Grant/Sandra Bullock flick with someone getting a ball in the head and I have to wonder what percentage of movies have this "original" bit of slapstick in them. Help me out with a list of movies that have a scene with a ball to the head or crotch if you would.......tennis balls only please

Gary Busey took a tennis ball to the crotch in Foolin' Around (1980) . He had designs on Annette O'Toole and the competition didn't like it.

Check out C. Thomas Howell in Kid. Death by poisoned tennis ball! You have to see it to believe it.

The first thing I thought of was the Monty Python parody of Sam Peckinpah, where a bunch of people get mutilated by, among other things, a tennis ball. I loved it when I was 10, and once I discovered Peckinpah's work I really thought it was funny.
