A cow is stabbed and a man drinks a cup of the blood, a vulture eats a bloody corpse, a cave of skeletons, bloody grass after a lion attack. A building is covered with blood and bloody animal parts (to lure lions). Lion attacks: one resulting in bloody leg scratches, a lion pulls apart the bloody body of a victim, a lion jumps on one man and shreds another's neck resulting in blood, a lion pulls a man along the ground then kills him, a lion kills everyone in a hospital. Rioting, men are used as bait and are nearly attacked by a lion. Lions are shot, some stalking scenes, a dream sequence has a mother and her baby attacked by a lion.

PROFANITY 3 - A couple of scatological references and a few mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
