    A character tells another character a story about how a character killed one of his subordinates with a dildo (named by the character as, "a 10-inch rubber cock."). (The scene cuts between the guy who's telling the story, and the guy beating the other guy with said dildo. Not graphic.)

    A woman use a loaded machine gun to shoot a man and fill a room full of bullets. She is slapped by another man right after.

    A man kills another man with a thrown hatchet.

    R violence type: blood and graphic.

    The violence, although graphic, is predominantly comedic in tone, played for ironic, over-the-top humor.

    A massive gun battle takes place just offscreen. There is a lot of loud gunfire, and a witness gets a little blood splattered on his face. In two scenes, we see the aftermath, and there are many dead and extremely bloody bodies all over the room.

    Two men are shot and killed (blood splatters), another has a hatchet thrown into his back, and a fourth man is then shot.

    Several men are shot with an air gun, but not seriously hurt. Another man is passed out on the floor in front of them, and his toes are blown off (offscreen, but we see the bloody results a few times, as well as the man screaming in agony).

    A man is sliced across the shoulder with a machete. He survives, but is very bloody. The same man is then shot to death with large machine gun by a woman shortly thereafter.

    A man hits golf balls off another man's face, and hits a man who is tied up, gagged, and hanging upside down. The torturer then throws a large knife into the hanging man (not seen), and supposedly kills him (we see the torturer's mates look on in disgust as this happens).

    While intense, the film is very lighthearted.
