Live Poll: Losing Control of Oneself

Whenever Curly Howard, one of the most hilarious members of the legendary The 3 Stooges, heard the tune "Pop Goes the Weasel" he would completely lose control over himself and start knocking out everyone around and — occasionally — even himself!

Here you can watch the above-mentioned slapstick, a memorable moment in television: Curly Goes Berserk Over "Pop Goes the Weasel"

Now follows a list of movies/episodes where:

  • somebody suddenly loses control over the whole self or over a part (or extension) of his/her body

OR

  • a part (or extension) of the body mysteriously acquires its own will (e.g. the hand tries to kill its owner).



Which movie is the most incredible?

#18 is missing a description and the bullet points in the intro should be removed. The Youtube video doesn't seem to be available anymore.

@Jessica​ 

- #18 removed (Falling Down 1993), since he lost control over his "mind", not body;

- bullet points removed;

- YouTube, Wikipedia, external links removed due to new edit rules, what a pity!
