violence
There are sustained and impactful bouts of martial arts fighting, including kicks and punches, as well as the use of chainsticks and throwing blades. Fight scenes also feature head butts, stabbings and slashings with bladed weapons, bottles smashed over heads, stranglings and shootings. The strong violence is accompanied by bloodshed, and there is also sight of bloody aftermath injury. People caught in explosions stagger around on fire, but there is no burns injury detail
threat and horror
A grenade is pushed into a man's mouth to compel his obedience.
discrimination
There is outdated racist language and stereotyping of Chinese people, such as references to "Asian flu" and "yellow peril", and a visual joke about their physical features.
There is moderate sex and brief breast nudity. There are drug references. There is mild bad language ('arse', 'shit', 'bloody', 'piss', 'bastard', 'screw up', 'God', 'hell', 'Christ', 'Jesus').
