Spoilers

  • Calvin is shot by Bob. Blood smears are shown, but Hart's character survives.
  • Aaron Paul's character has his esophagus torn out and it is shown fully, but this is not too gory, and not seen very clearly (he covers his neck afterwards in the theatrical version, he doesn't in the uncut version, which is more graphic). Some blood can be seen, and the organ can be seen in The Rock's hand later as a joke.
