A woman opens her top toward a man on a street while prostituting and we see that she has three breasts (three bare breasts are briefly shown, but are large and realistic looking, may be shocking to children). Note: In some cuts of the movie, her breasts are covered by a brassiere, therefore showing no actual nudity. In the extended director's cut, everything is revealed for about 1 whole minute

Exotic dancers wearing skimpy outfit that reveal cleavage, partial bare buttocks, bare abdomens and legs dance suggestively inside and outside a club.

Not much blood is shown.

A man and a woman with guns run through a building, they are confronted by armored "synthetic" guards with guns, gunfire is exchanged, and both the man and the woman are shot through the hands (we see blood on their hands); the man is then wrapped by a taser cable and pulled against a wall as the woman drops out a window and into water below (presumably unharmed).

A man shoots another man in the head (we see a bloody bullet hole as he falls back to the floor dead).

A man is strapped into a chair; he gets a weapon from one of his captors and shoots the rest of the guards (they all lie dead on the floor).

Armored and armed guards break into a room, shoot two people (we see no blood) and hold a man at gunpoint; the man fights with them, retrieves a gun and shoots all of the guards dead (no blood is obvious).

A man and a woman fight with a man: they punch and kick each other, another woman shoots at the first woman and man, a synthetic guard joins the fight and the man punches and kicks it with little effect; the synthetic guard squeezes the man's head, and then his throat until it is pushed through an opening and it is torn in half. The two women fight each other until one of them runs away.

During a fight a man is stabbed in the stomach (we hear a crunch and a squish) and slumps to the ground dead (we hear a squish when the knife is removed and we see blood).
