RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER: EXTREME EDITION is a drama, based on true events, which concerns a football hooligan who works with a gang of violent criminals.

violence
The strong violence initially takes the form of brutal fights between rival groups of football supporters, with some brutal scenes of kicking, punching and head-butts. It later develops into even more violent scenes between rival criminal gangs, with images of stabbings, fingers crushed with hammers or chopped with axes and a man's teeth being ripped out with pliers. There are also some graphic images of corpses in a morgue.
language
There are more than 50 uses of very strong language (‘c**t’), with most being aggressive, accompanied by violence and in some cases used by men towards women. There is also very frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’).
drugs
There are scenes of strong hard drug use throughout, including a principal character using performance enhancing drugs like testosterone and anabolic steroids, snorting cocaine, and injecting ketamine and heroin. Elements of the drug use also incorporate scenes of sexualised nudity.
additional issues
Other issues include some moderate sex and nudity.
