Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire SEX/NUDITY 0

 – A man winks at a woman.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire VIOLENCE/GORE 6

 – A man yells angrily at a group of other people and he is gabbed and consumed by what looks like tree roots (we see and hear chomping as the others yell and leave the area). Large flying creatures soar through the air as a giant gorilla runs across the ground chased by large hyena-like animals; the gorilla jumps across a divide chased by some of the hyenas and is trapped at a cliff; one hyena lunges toward the gorilla, the ground collapses under it, many boulders crash down on top of the others crushing many of them, and the gorilla lifts a carcass above its head and tears it in half (we see green goo pour onto the gorilla’s head as it roars loudly and scares the other hyenas away).
► A giant crab-like creature stomps through the streets of Rome until a giant reptilian creature arrives, fights with it, pins it to the ground and zaps it with a blast of energy; it spews goo as it explodes. A giant reptilian creature fights an undersea Titan blasting it with a beam of energy that blows it apart and we see fragments floating in goo. A giant reptilian creature marches toward a nuclear facility and we hear that it is absorbing the radiation to strengthen itself; fighter planes circle the creature and fire on it, it swats at them and knocks one out of the sky. Several Titans fight in an extended sequence causing a lot of property damage with blasts of energy exchanged and one is encased in ice.
► A giant gorilla wades into water and a giant eel-like creature swims up behind it and wraps itself around it as it fights with it and we later see the eel’s head land on the ground when the gorilla throws it and later eats a large piece of it (we see strings of meat hanging out of the gorilla’s mouth). A giant gorilla hears something approaching and we see a small ape in the shadows that bites the gorilla’s finger when he holds it out toward the youngster; two other gorillas attack the first one and they fight with throws and slamming to the ground, one is kicked and falls over a ledge, the giant gorilla helps it back up and when it attacks again, the gorilla kicks it over the ledge (we see some of the attackers with bloody smears on them) and throws a boulder at another one that runs away (it is struck on the head and knocked down but gets up again).
► A giant gorilla is approached by a giant ape and it punches the ape in the face, the giant ape mocks the gorilla and others laugh and pound on the ground as the ape uses a bone rope with a glowing tine at the end of it to fight the gorilla and cuts its hand (we see blood); it then wraps it around the gorilla’s throat, the gorilla gets free and a giant glowing Titan approaches and blows a blast of frozen air that freezes the gorilla’s hand and arm (we see it with frostbite later) and it runs, chased by others until several are pinned under falling rocks and the gorilla gets away.
► A ground facility is shown in rubble and smoldering and we hear that there are no survivors; we see a body on the ground with blood in a puddle of liquid and a giant bloody handprint on a rock wall. A giant gorilla slides down the walls of a crevasse and finds remains of other gorillas and a weapon (we see skulls). Alerts are sounded and we see a giant reptilian creature stomping through a river, knocking down bridges, roadways and buildings as people scatter for shelter. A giant reptilian creature sinks into the ocean and we see the water bubbling around it.
► A man is grabbed from behind by another man and several others holding spears surround him and the others in his group; we see that the people are adorned with scarification marks and tattoos/coloration.
► A giant gorilla pulls itself out of a swirling vortex in the ocean and onto land where it is sedated and a tooth is removed, replaced with a giant metal tooth. A man screams and passes out as a flying vessel speeds through a spinning vortex to another Earth realm. A giant gorilla walks across a bridge made of a serpent spine following a young ape. The ground erupts around pyramids in Egypt and a giant gorilla pulls itself up to the surface as people flee screaming and the gorilla and a giant reptilian creature fight, throwing each other against the pyramids and causing damage and the gorilla drags the reptile by the tail. A giant glowing moth flies through the air in a few scenes.
► Three severed gorilla heads are shown on spikes in the ground. A giant gorilla bites into a carcass and flinches in pain; we see that it has a rotting tooth and swollen gum and a crocodile snatches the carcass and slithers away with it. A large mosquito bites a man’s arm and flies away (the man explains that the insect needs the blood more than he does). Giant birds pull giant worms out of the ground and eat them.
► A teenage girl sees a vision and hears vibrations in several scenes; in one scene, she scribbles shapes on paper and her desk in a classroom causing the students and the teacher to be alarmed. A woman has a nightmare about something knocking out a signal to the Hollow Earth. People talk about a tribe being destroyed leaving one remaining survivor. A man says that someone told him, “You are not a serious person.” A man says of another man, “Aggression is his love language.”
