Sex & Nudity

  • Nothing majorly explicit but a ship almost crashes outside an office building, the doors slam open and the wind blows at a woman's outfit skirt, blouse, blazer etc. All affected by the gale.
  • A scene is shown of a half naked woman dressing a wound. Very brief but the side of her breast is shown.
  • One of the main characters wears a revealing outfit that she uses to her advantage. In one scene, she is briefly shown in the shower, though not much is seen.

Violence & Gore

  • Three men are beaten up and knocked unconscious by two other men. A fourth is then shot through the shoulder and passes out when soda cans fall down on his head (some blood).
  • A fuel truck explodes quite suddenly, causing a massive explosion that throws cars around and creates a lot of destruction. Victims are later seen at the scene of the accident, both dead and injured. It is said that many people were afflicted by an airborne virus that was stored in the truck before it exploded and are now dying as a result.
  • A man is shot in the head. No blood and seen from a distance, but somewhat sudden.
  • A man shoots a marble containing an airborne viral weapon, afflicting another man in the room. He coughs and chokes before slowly dying. His bloody face and body are later seen from multiple angles.
  • A man is stabbed to death with a knife. Most of it happens offscreen, but we can clearly hear the sounds. We also see the man's bloody broken glasses on the floor and see him falling down against a door with a knife stuck in his back. A lot of blood in this scene.
  • A hero chases a villain on a monorail train. They shoot at each other before an innocent man is shot in the head to slow the hero down. The villain shoots a woman in the arm to wound her, causing the hero to attack him and nearly render him unconscious with his hands. Before he can subdue him, though, the villain reaches up and digs his fingers into the man's stomach, causing him to drop his gun and clutch his bloody chest in pain. He's then shot through the chest and dropped out of the window the villain holds him above, but he survives.
  • A woman threatens a man with a gun before he pulls the pin on a grenade and apparently blows himself up. When she gets up from the explosion, several other people are collapsing around her because of a small but deadly viral outbreak.
  • Two men shoot and give each other minor wounds before throwing their guns away and beating each other up. They end up bloody and barely conscious before a woman intervenes and threatens to shoot one of them. In turn, he raises his gun to shoot her back, but only she fires. The man falls down with some blood pooled underneath his body before he slowly dies.
  • A man was said to be a test subject for a viral weapon and that out of everyone else on his team, he was the only survivor.
  • Three spaceships chase another ship in an attempt to destroy it, but the pilot manages to destroy all three of his pursuers' vehicles without killing the other pilots.
  • A man and woman fight with their hands and a sweeping broom. She tries to shoot him, but he gets away.
  • A woman shoots at a man several times to both threaten and stop him, but he gets away without injury.
  • Several airplanes break down in midair and crash to the ground as they explode, but the pilots manage to parachute out before this happens. Intended to be funny rather than serious.
  • Several people are threatened with guns and taken hostage so a pair of characters can escape, but none are harmed.
  • A woman takes a large group of people hostage by shooting a gun into the air.
