  • A shard of glass going through a child's leg, with lots of blood shown.
  • A character's face is shown torn open, covered with glass and blood.
  • A character is shot under the chin using a gun. You see blood spray from the top of his head as he falls to the ground.
  • A character is shot in the eye socket.
