Glimpses and close-ups of exotic women in classy lingerie dancing in a nightclub.

A woman is forced into prostitution. No sex or nudity involving her.

Butt naked children seen in two scenes.

Some mild references

Plenty of shootouts involving the mob, the army or the police. Characters are shot, stabbed, beaten, assassinated, blown up and physically threatened in the entire runtime of the film.

The main setting is Vietnam where images of constant warfare and violent protests are shown onscreen. Soldiers and civilians alike are injured or killed.

An assassin disguises his grenades as cigars.

Terrorist bombings happen early on in the film. In one scene, a bomb disposal expert fails to defuse a bomb made by students and has both arms blown off in the explosion. Very graphic.

Frequent, very strong bloody violence

Some strong language

Smoking and Drinking is seen, especially in the nightclub scenes.

A female singer is doped on heroin by her captors.

'Bullet In The Head' is one of John Woo's darkest and most emotional films. The whole story deals with the subject of three friends fleeing to Vietnam after committing a murder, hoping to start a new life and make a name for themselves. However, they make enemies of the local mob and witness their friendship deteriorate over the horrible experiences they go through.

The local police and army hunt and kill people they suspect of being communist sympathisers and gleefully raid their stores.

An extended scene of the group being captured by North Vietnamese soldiers. They witness other POWs being executed, humilated and being forced to kill each other. Very intense.

The film's tone and subject matter is comparable to films like 'Apocalypse Now', 'Platoon' and 'The Deer Hunter'. The latter of which is referenced heavily in the P.O.W camp scene.

The second half of the film is much more intense and emotional

Shows the horrors of war!
