violence
Action violence is strong and bloody. This includes limb severings, decapitations, and stabbings. A man's fingers are bitten off, a creature's limbs are ripped from its body, and a woman is struck in the face with a hammer, resulting in a meaty facial wound. In other scenes, a flogging results in deep lacerations on a woman's back, and slaves, including children, are beaten and flogged by their captors. Additionally, other characters are impaled during battle, and set alight.
nudity
There is sexualised breast nudity.
additional issues
Sexual threat includes a villain presenting a group of captured women to a gathering of men as a reward, and a woman is used as a prize in a bet. In other scenes, men sexually harass women whilst they dance and sleep. Moderate threat includes kidnappings, people being enslaved, encounters with violent creatures, and pursuits by villains with supernatural powers.
