SEX/NUDITY 3 - A few kisses on the cheek, a man pulls a
woman onto his lap and kisses her and we see the shadows of, and
hear the sounds of two people kissing. We see a man moving on top
of a woman (no nudity is visible); we see the scene again briefly
in a flashback. Lots of women wear cleavage-revealing dresses.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - More than ten people are beheaded; we
always hear a slicing noise, often see blood spray from the bloody
neck stump and sometimes see the head roll on the ground (in one
scene a head rolls between a man's legs, and another man stabs the
top of the head with a sword and takes it away). A man's arm is
sliced off, a man's body is cut in half, a man's leg is stabbed
with a knife (we see the handle sticking out of his thigh), a man
is stabbed in the shoulder and flipped backwards onto the ground,
a man is shot in the chest, a man is hit in the head with a wooden
cross and killed, and two men are impaled (one has a very bloody
fence post sticking out of his chest and is then pulled out of a
window and dragged between two fence posts); in all of these
scenes, we see lots of dripping, pooling or spraying blood. A boy
in a torture chamber sees a woman's corpse and lots of blood gush
out from an Iron Maiden; he puts his hands on a board of spikes
and gets many bloody cuts on his palms. A woman purposely cuts her
palm and rubs the blood on a man's back (he also licks the blood
from the cut). A man with sharpened teeth cuts a woman's mouth
when he kisses her (we see blood running down her chin). A horse
is shot (we see blood on its leg). A man with an axe grabs the
hair of a young boy (it's implied that the boy is beheaded). A man
is shot several times in different scenes but is not injured;
also, a carriage crashes on top of a man without injuring him.
While standing on top of a carriage, a man is hit in the head with
a branch and knocked off. Two men fight on top of a moving
carriage; also, a man is dragged by two horses. A man is hit in
the head with a burning pumpkin and knocked off his horse. A man
shakes and shoves a woman, a person is tackled and hit in the back
with a large stick and a man is thrown into a cellar jail pit. A
woman cuts off a bat's head and squeezes it into a pot. A woman's
face turns into a gray, skeleton-like mask and snakes shoot out
from her mouth and eye sockets. Blood spurts and oozes from a tree
when a man chops one of its branches and removes a piece of bark
(we also hear lots of squishy noises as he does this). We see
veins and flesh grow back on a skeleton's skull. We see many
headless corpses (blood and veins are visible inside the neck
stumps and sometimes the corpses have bloody clothing; in one
scene, a large bug crawls out of one's neck stump); we also see
several heads (in one scene, we see several bloody heads in a tree
stump). Snakes crawl on a skeleton in a grave. Blood sprays on a
man's glasses as he's performing an autopsy; afterwards, we see
him with blood all over his apron and face. We see several people
with blood sprayed on their faces and clothing. We see a large cut
on a corpse's palm and a cut on a corpse's stomach. Red wax
dripping on paper looks like blood. A large fire is started inside
a building that later explodes.
