Near the beginning, a man waves a gun in the faces of a couple making out. He then takes off the top of the woman and rubs her nipple with the gun barrel, seen graphically.

Robbery/rape victim later meets the gang. They then playfully expose their genitals so she can decide who was her rapist. No nudity is seen. She ends up fondling and kissing some of them after they have redressed.

While a young boy watches through a peep hole, a young woman removes her costume and full rear nudity is seen.

There are two very disturbing rape scenes. The first one is brief, the second one goes on for several minutes.

There is a rape scene in a car, we see the woman's breasts and a view of her perineum/vulva as she is lifted up by the rapist is clear though darkened. This scene is very disturbing.

A man is shot in the eye. Subsequently, the car with the dead man is raided with bullets by a couple of guys in another car. Later, a man who escaped is shot and killed. Very graphic and disturbing for young viewers.

A boy of 11 or 12 gets shot in a gang dispute.

Not as violent as Scorsese's mafia movies, however rape scene is disturbing.

The violence is not as common as in other gangster films, but most of the time it's very realistic and graphic.

A man is shot in the leg. Not very graphic.

A man is punched a few times onscreen, his face is completely dripped in blood (shown for a bit). One of the attackers is later shot in the head, we see a bloody bullet wound with blood dripping down shortly. Only really bloody bit in a 4 hour movie

Two teens are beaten by a bunch of gangsters, not bloody but very prolonged and brutal, including heavy blows by brass-knuckles and kicks. One of them gets a chain attached to a pull-cart snared around his neck.

A woman is shot twice in chest, a bloody bullet wound is briefly visible before she dies.

Cunt is said once during the latter half.

22 uses of "fuck", 13 uses of "shit", 3 uses of "damn", 10 uses of "ass", 4 uses of "pussy", 3 uses of "cock" and a few uses of "bitch", "schmuck", "pansy", "bastard", and "hell". Also, 8 religious exclamations. There are also many uses of derogatory terms for people of Jewish, Italian, and Irish decent.

There are two long scenes in a Chinese club where large groups of people smoke drugs

A main character is addicted to opium.

Characters drink a lot of alcohol. Some are implied to be alcoholics.

Several instances of opium smoking, limited to a couple of scenes.

Sporadic instances of smoking and drinking.

The main characters are involved in the Prohibition business, so pretty much all of the drinking is illegal.

All violent scenes are realistically graphic, and the rape scenes are very disturbing.

Besides the violence and the intense scenes, this is a very melancholic and emotional film from beginning to end.

A teenage prostitute is seen having sex with an older man, but no nudity from her, just the man's bare butt.

Altough the movie has some comedic/darkly comedic elements, it's overall very upsetting.

Some scenes are hard to watch, since the camera usually doesn't shy away from the graphic violence and sexual assault.

This movie is a gritty and dark take on the gangster genre. Much more brutal than something like The Godfather.

This is one of the most depressing gangster movies ever made, with little to no mob glorification whatsoever, unlike Godfather or Scarface.

There are no morally good characters in this movie.
