The jury in the 21 July terror trial has been shown videos of captives being killed, including beheadings, allegedly found in the homes of two defendants.
In one, a man in a red hood was shown placing a knife to the neck of an unknown victim kneeling in front of him before the video was stopped.
The films were found in flats occupied by Yassin Omar and Hussain Osman, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
Six men deny conspiracy to murder and cause explosions in London in 2005.
They are Mr Omar, 26, Mr Osman, 28, Manfo Asiedu, 33, Muktar Ibrahim, 29, Ramzi Mohammed, 25, and Adel Yahya, 24.
'Warfare images'
The prosecution said videos of killings were found at a flat in Curtis House, New Southgate, north London, where Mr Omar is said to have lived.
Footage was also played to the jury which had allegedly been discovered at Blair House, near Stockwell, south London, where Mr Osman is said to have lived.
The footage which showed the hooded man moving a knife towards his victim's neck, said to have been found in Mr Omar's home, also showed images of warfare.
After the video was stopped junior prosecutor Alison Morgan told the court what happened next.
Seven executions
"He then goes on to cut the throat of the victim, dismembers his body and holds it up to the camera," she said.
Footage from seven killings was shown, including those of an apparent Egyptian spy, a Korean man, a US electrical engineer and a CIA agent.
Each time the footage was shown, it was stopped before the fatal shot was fired or the blade cut the throat.
Miss Morgan also explained to the nine-woman, three-man jury what was about to happen before each film was shown.
The six men are accused of plotting to detonate a series of bombs on the capital's transport network on 21 July 2005.
