  A man shoots two cops in a car multiple times. Blood splatters on the windshield of the car.

  This scene lasts about one minute, but all we see is the victim getting cut above his eyebrow. His ear also gets cut off, but that is completely offscreen. The victim is then doused in gasoline and threatened to be burned alive.

  Lots of bloody shootings with extended images of bloody wound detail.
