  An interrogator attempts to gouge out a man's eyes, but stops before any damage is done.

  The interrogation scene is probably the most violent part of the movie

  From towards the middle, the movie gets progressively more violent.

  A man is briefly shown being torn apart by a moving train. Not much is seen.

  Several injured/dead people are shown.

  A real skeleton is shown in one of the scenes. Not very graphic, but it may be a bit frightening.

  A man is violently beaten during an interrogation, with some blood shown. A woman is beaten and we can see blood on her lip.

  Some scenes of soldiers bleeding mild to moderately with bullet wounds in the chest area.

  A man is shot four times in the face through a pillow; nothing is heard and only a steaming hole in the pillow is seen. One character is bashed in the skull a few times (blood is briefly shown) and his dead body is run over by a locomotive offscreen.

  Numerous men are killed quickly by gunshots, some in one-on-one gun duels, others by military skirmishes and firing squads. Primarily bloodless, but corpses are often shown.

  The scene between Tuco and his brother Pablo is very emotional.

  There are several very emotional and sad scenes.

  Mild/Moderate for neurodivergent viewers.

  This movie is rated R but as far as R rated movies go it's not that inappropriate.

  Despite its R rating, this along with the two other films in the Dollars Trilogy are very mild by today's standards. The R ratings, similarly to 1960's Psycho, are super outdated and were likely rated like that because more violent films like Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and A Clockwork Orange (1971) hadn't been released. Most older tweens and teens will handle this.

  The movie's final minutes could be intense to some viewers.
