MPAA Rating: R

The first volume of this Quentin Tarantino film concerns a group of skilled assassins called Deadly Viper Assassination Squad that turn on one of their own (Uma Thurman) when she decides to quit, get married and have a family. Leaving her for dead, she comes out of a coma four years later and seeks revenge against her former colleagues (Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox and Michael Madsen) and their boss, Bill (David Carradine). Also with Michael Madsen and Sonny Chiba. [1:50]

SEX/NUDITY 6 - A hospital employee sells sex with a woman in a coma to a man: we see the man climb on top of the woman, he makes sexual remarks and moves close to kiss her. A man and a woman are amorous (snuggling and speaking closely together) in the corner of a room. A man talks about a woman needing lubrication before sex and makes remarks about her sex organs. A woman asks a man if he wants to have sex with her. People dance in a night club scene. A man tells a story in a foreign language (there are no subtitles) and makes a gesture with his hand indicating an erection. A man's pick-up truck is named after the slang term for the female sex organ and we see it in writing several times. We see a woman's bare thighs as she puts on stockings. In an animated sequence an 11-year-old girl straddles a man (she proceeds to stab him in the stomach).

VIOLENCE/GORE 10 - A woman bites a man's lip (or tongue, it's not clear) and pulls, he screams and falls onto the floor motionless, his face and chest are covered with blood, and she is covered with blood. We hear panting and moaning, pan onto a woman with a very bloody and bruised face and see her shot in the head. A woman cuts a woman's arm off: blood sprays and pours and the woman flails and screams. A woman throws a knife and it hits a man in the Achilles tendon, he falls to the floor, the woman slams his head in a door repeatedly (we hear crunching of bone and see his legs twitching). A man's head is lopped off by a sword, blood sprays and pours from his neck, the assailant holds the severed head in the air and then drops it on a table. A woman is surrounded by people with swords and a fight begins: she slashes and slices, one man's eye is pulled out, an arm is cut off, a man is hit in the chest with a hatchet, another hit in the head with a hatchet, we hear slashing and squishing, a man's head is cut off, a man is sliced across the mouth (blood sprays and pours and gushes), another man's arm is sliced off, and a man's leg is sliced off. A woman fights off many people with swords leaving many without limbs (there is a lot of blood pouring, spurting, spraying and gushing). Two women fight with swords; one is slashed on the back, she moans and bleeds, a woman is slashed on the leg, they both slash back and forth, blood sprays and we see a scalp with hair fly through the air and then one woman falls to the ground dead and we see her exposed brain. A man and a woman fight on a balcony railing: the man's legs are cut off and he falls into a pool of water below (the water turns red from blood). A young woman swings a bladed ball on a chain and hits a wall, it hits a woman in the chest twice (we see blood in her mouth), and it hits a woman on the shoulder (she is cut); the ball also hits a woman in the back of the head, the chain wraps around her neck and she begins choking. A woman is stabbed in the foot by a board with nails and then in the head (her eyes bleed). Blood pours from a woman's mouth and she screams. A woman fights many in a darkened room (we see the proceedings in silhouette and hear gurgling and cries). A woman is shot at. A woman kills another woman by throwing a knife to her chest; she falls to the floor dead, and the first woman pulls the knife out of her chest and wipes the blood off (a young girl was watching). We hear about a woman's family being killed by a Yakuza boss and we see the scenario played out in an animated sequence: People fight, we hear squishing sounds from knives slashing, blood sprays and pours from a man's back and chest, he falls to the floor in front of a small girl who is watching under a bed, we see a sword slammed into the back of his head and watch his eyes close as he dies; the little girl whimpers, a woman is thrown onto a bed, a man brings a sword down, we see it poke through the mattress near a girl's head, the mattress becomes soaked with blood and a drop falls on the girl's face. The room is then set on fire. Another animated sequence shows a girl (she's 11 years old) straddling a man and stabbing him in the stomach (he spits blood and she pulls out the sword): the room is then showered with blood, two men shoot at the girl, she shoots one man's leg off, then his head, then the other man's leg is shot off and then his head, and a man is shot from a distance and blood sprays and leaves a hole in his head. A woman stabs a man in the crotch, we hear a squishing sound and see blood spray when she pulls her sword out. We see a woman being beaten by several people. Several people lie dead on the floor surrounded by puddles of blood and covered with blood after having been shot. A woman is punched in the face and sails back through the air (we see many bruises on her face and blood). Two women fight with punches kicks and knives: one hits the other on the leg with a stick, they throw each other around a room breaking glass and furniture, one is held in a chokehold, one is hit with a fireplace poker, and they fight with a knife and a frying pan (we see them both with blood and bruises on their faces). A wounded woman is rolled down a hill. A woman throws a dagger that passes near another woman's face and goes into a wall. Two men argue, and one squeezes the other's hand. A woman who was pregnant wakes up from a coma and screams in grief when she realizes she has lost her baby. A man leans over a presumably dead body that spits blood on his face. A young man is spanked on the buttocks with a sword. A pregnant woman lying motionless on the floor is surrounded by blood after having been shot. We see an extreme close-up of a mosquito landing on a person's skin, we see it poke its proboscis into the skin and hear it sucking and slurping. A woman threatens to kill a woman's husband, her daughter and her. A woman threatens to cut pieces off another woman's body. A man punches an ashtray, it breaks and it cuts his hand.
