violence
There are stabbings which result in blood spurts as well as bloody shootings. Hand to hand fighting involves punches, kicks and shoves, with characters sometimes restrained and beaten by gangs of thugs. Women are slapped and shoved by male characters. There are scenes of war violence involving gunfire and explosions.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A frightened woman is taunted, chased and threatened by two men who tie her up and gag her, then throw objects at her. They drag her away and, it is implied, rape and murder her off-screen. A woman tells a man he can rape her in order to manage his anger; he begins to tear at her clothes but expresses immediate regret for his actions. A man grabs a woman and tears at her clothes, accusing her of being a stripper. Two men drag a screaming woman away, taunting her as they lift her skirt over her head; their attack is interrupted.
injury detail
There is strong bloody injury detail in the aftermath of violence as well as medical detail which includes pools of blood and splashes over sheets and gowns.
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') as well as milder terms which include 'bitch', 'shit', 'bastard', 'bloody', 'son of a bitch', 'screw', 'jerk', 'hell' and 'damn'. Japanese and Korean characters make discriminatory references toward one another in the context of a turf war and the postwar reconstruction of Japan. There are scenes of gun and knife threat as well as characters being threatened with violence and beatings. Couple kiss and caress one another and there are undetailed verbal references to sex, sex workers and strippers.
