violence

Scenes of martial arts fighting, although highly stylised, are occasionally prolonged and have a strong cumulative impact across the film. The fighting features blows and kicks, including to faces, as well as the use of weapons such as chainsticks and darts which are thrown at people. There are implied arm, leg and neck breaks, which are registered by crunchy sound effects, as well as undetailed stabbings. There is also occasional bloody injury detail.

threat and horror

There is moderate gun and knife threat.

language

There is mild bad language ('bastard'), as well as very mild terms such as 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.

discrimination

A gay villain is presented in an outdated, caricatured camp manner.

nudity

There is brief sexualised breast nudity.

rude humour

There is infrequent very mild rude humour.

alcohol and smoking

Adult characters smoke cigarettes, which reflects the historical era in which the film was made.
