Sex & Nudity

  • Male buttocks seen in the background of several shots in a shower area. None

Violence & Gore

  • There is an intense brawl in a park, in which the main character takes on many stick-toating bad guys. It's somewhat brutal, and the protagonist is shown to be in pain during the fight.
  • There is a long climax scene in a ware house, in which the protagonist faces several terrorists. One scene in particular during this is when the protagonist faces a skilled bad guy who easily beats him up. The bad guy throws fireworks at him, laughing, as he rolls on the ground in pain. However, he gets the upper hand and does the same to the villain.
  • A man presses a button that triggers briefcases to explode an entire building entrance. There is one instance where a man is carrying a case and it explodes straight away as he is carrying it. It is cut quickly to the next shot of another explosion.
  • Violence includes male assaults against females and some deliberate use of explosives to harm persons, including little thrown packets that strike our heroes (one male, one female) while tied down, and a guy seemingly blown up in an explosion.
  • A man throws a barbecue through a window.
  • A man punches a man in the eye as his glasses shatters. He cries.
  • Three women trip and kick a man in an observation room.
  • A woman punches a man after making fun of her. His shattered glasses is shown. He slaps her back.
  • A man runs through a motorway, and gets hit by a car. He is okay.
  • A whole fight at a restaurant happens between a man and group of men. It is full of throwing chairs, and many punches and kicks. One instance shows a man punching a man through the glasses as it shatters. One falls through a glass banister, and one gets thrown through a window outside. A yellow car crashes through the building.
  • The men who wear glasses tend to get their lenses cracked whilst in a fight and scream.
  • A man dives through a glass sign after jumping off a bus.
  • Plenty of fighting, plus several explosions of various sizes, but no one gets killed on camera.
  • Lots of martial arts combat, including people thrown against walls, cars, metal objects, breaking glass, etc. Some of these blows look quite painful, although they often occur faster than natural and thus don't appear totally realistic in their timing/impact, even though they involved real stunt-performers taking the blows (probably while padded and involving some phony props).

Profanity

  • Some uses of "Bastard" are heard in the English dubbed version.
  • One use of "shit" (in subtitles), otherwise, very mild language .

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some bad guys tortures a man and his girlfriend throwing fireworks on them.
  • A scene follows an shopping mall evacuation due to an upcoming explosion.
  • A warehouse explodes.
