20th Century Fox Film Co. Ltd
Cuts:
This film was originally seen for advice in an unfinished version. The company was informed the film was likely to be classified 18, but that their requested 15 could be achieved by making some reductions in scenes of violence. When the finished version was submitted for formal classification, reductions had been made and the film was passed 15.
violence
There are a number of highly stylised choreographed fight scenes that are distanced from more brutal and realistic portrayals of violence. The fighting involves the use of weapons such as guns, knives, axes, explosive devices and prosthetic legs fashioned as razor-sharp blades. The action in these scenes is fast-paced and rapidly-edited, and although the violence is strong and bloody there is no lingering focus on pain and injury. Bloody injury detail is also present in the aftermath of violent incidents but this is again not dwelt upon to any undue extent.
language
There is frequent use of strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'). Other terms include 'wanker, 'shit, 'tits, 'whores' and the discriminatory terms, 'n****r' and 'fag'.
additional issues
The film also contains strong sex references.

violence
There are a number of highly stylised fight scenes, involving the use of weapons such as guns, knives, axes, explosive devices and prosthetic legs fashioned as razor-sharp blades. The action in these scenes is fast-paced and rapidly-edited, and although the violence is strong and bloody there is no lingering focus on pain and injury.
threat and horror
In one sequence, a large group of people in a church kill each other when a form of mind control is activated. In spite of the fantasy nature of the scene, the impression this creates of a massacre taking place in a 'real world' setting may remind some viewers of terrorist attacks and be disturbing for younger people.
language
There is frequent use of strong language ('f**k' and 'motherf**ker'), and infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t'), as well as use of milder terms.
sex
There are some crude sexual references, including a running joke about the central male character being offered anal sex with a woman as a reward for saving the world, which some viewers may find distateful.
discrimination
There is some use of discriminatory terms, including the 'n' word and 'fag'.
injury detail
Bloody injury detail is seen in the aftermath of violent incidents.
nudity
Brief female buttock nudity occurs in a crude sexual context.
alcohol and smoking
Adult characters drink alcohol.
additional issues
The film also contains strong sex references.
