The Film: Little Shop Of Horrors (1986)

The Inappropriate: Orin is a mean-spirited dentist who delights in causing pain. Audrey has zero self-confidence and doesn’t think she deserves “a nice man like Thee-mooor”.

It’s a sadomasochist’s dream, with Orin beating Audrey to a pulp on a regular basis - she sports both a black eye and a sling during various parts of the film.

How They Make It Work: Orin gets his comeuppance at the hands of Seymour, who decides to feed him to Audrey II, the giant Venus Flytrap who is demanding sustenance.
