violence
Strong violence includes people being shot, with sight of blood spurts and bloody aftermath detail, and the frenzied beating-up of a man, with resulting bloodshed. There is moderate violence in fight scenes featuring undetailed beatings and gunplay. A clip from a black-and-white Japanese samurai film from 1961 features swordplay and brief sight of a severed arm, but without strong gory detail.
language
There is strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'bitch', 'shit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'son of a bitch', 'God', 'Christ', 'Jesus', 'damn' and 'hell'.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There is moderate threat. There is a brief allusion to sexual threat in a reported incident of a man who has been stalking a woman and sending her hate mail getting into her home when she was absent and masturbating on her bed. There are moderate sex references.
