Violence & Gore

Severe

Over-the-top violence with guns and swords. Many people die bloody deaths.
A meat hook is stabbed through a character's throat and up out his head. Scene lasts about 3 seconds.
While executed with an outlandish and comic tone, most violence is still quite frequent.
People vomit large amounts of blood multiple scenes.
A character's throat is slashed and blood squirts across the screen.
A samurai sword gets put through the side of a character's neck, blood pouring out everywhere.
Half of a man's head gets shot off, blood squirts everywhere.
A character is stabbed in the eye by a throwing knife.
A compilation of murders are shown. While done for comedic effect some of the kills are very brutal. This includes people getting shot with major blood spurts/splatters, a character getting a machete shoved in shoulder, a character while being strangled gets a hook shoved through his throat to the top of his head (this is shown in graphic detail), a character gets his throat penetrated by two swords, people get run over, explosions etc. (7/10)
A man is shoved through the roof of a train where he gets ripped in half after hitting something. His dismembered upper half is seen rolling down the roof of the train. Quick but pretty bloody.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
211 of 410 found this moderate
The action sequences occasionally have a comedic tone but are very bloody.
Not really frightening or dark but some scenes can be very bloody. Most of the violence is done with a comedic effect (like when people use plushies when fighting).
Many of the main characters, including the protagonist, are assassins and the plot focuses their careers and killing.
The film is intended for people 16 over due to violence, bloody scenes, profanity and drug use.
Level of funny: 7/10.
Level of intense: 6/10.
