That definition sure sounds like some snowboarders we know, but you know which crew must have been the biggest hooligans in history? No, not your local football club's fans. Those "hard" fellas seem like pre-schoolers with crayons compared to the Droogs in the seminal film A Clockwork Orange. These guys were so twisted on "ultraviolence" that it almost becomes comical. They spend their time "drinking milk-drug cocktails, called 'milk-plus', to hype themselves for the night's mayhem. They assault a scholar walking home from the public library, rob a store, leaving the owner and his wife bloodied and unconscious, stomp a panhandling derelict, then scuffle with a rival gang. Joyriding through the countryside in a stolen car, they break into an isolated cottage and maul the young couple living there, beating the husband and raping his wife..." The movie was directed by the legendary Stanley Kubrick but is based on a book by the no-less-renowned Anthony Burgess. The movie is still incredibly disturbing, even in our age of desensitized sociopathy... Here are some scenes if you have never had a chance to see it.
