A man is hit by a car. Very little blood is seen, and the scene lasts for 3 seconds.
Two men fight bare handed and both suffer extremely bloodied faces before one man knocks the other man to the ground after driving his face through a car window and driving a fist into his face a dozen times (we see the battered man with a bloodied, swollen, poorly stitched face as he receives a mug shot and we hear that he went to Alcatraz).
Hooded men break into a man's home and use guns with silencers to shoot and kill the man, his wife and his maid, who all fall motionless to the floor.
In a public lunchroom, two men approach another man and a woman at a table; the man stands up, knocks both of the other men out, takes a bottle of acid from one of them and pours it onto the man's clothed crotch, which we see burn with smoke as the victim screams, "You'll get yours!"
Three men are locked into an elevator by their boss and we see a wall of flame shoot up the elevator shaft and hear screams as the camera cuts to a street scene.

There are two scenes of violence which have a different tone to the usual moderate shooting violence of the film, one being a scene at the start of a man getting torn in half by two cars being tied to him and driving away (darkly lit so no blood but still disturbing) and the other being a man getting drilled in the face (this is shown through a thick glass so not very visible apart from some splatter of blood and brains against the glass although it is still very disturbing)
More blood shown from fists than bullets, even though more shots fired than punches thrown.
A teenage boy is accidentally killed in a drive-by shooting. We do not see him die.
