Treeless Mountain

There are a few scenes where children impale large grasshoppers onto wooded skewers, which they then roast alive and sell as snacks to other kids. Insects are not defined as protected 'animals' under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (which applies only to vertebrates) and so these scenes do not contravene the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. The scene may be revolting to some people but the impaling and roasting is shown to be a normal and culturally accepted practice in Korea.
