► A poisoned woman bleeds from the nose and vomits blood and green matter into an empty dinner plate: as she is helped to the front door, a drive-by shooter yells and shoots her with a loud shotgun shot, she lies in a pool of blood that soaks a throw rug, her entire abdomen is torn apart and gushing blood, and blood spatter is all around, while her father cradles her and screams and cries (later, we see a flashback of the shooting with even more blood than the original scene, including blood across the woman's chest and abdomen).
► A man is shown in his darkened apartment, kneeling with his hands cuffed behind his back, the right side of his forehead and the eye socket are missing and bloody red tissue hangs down from the head and covers his shirtless chest and part of the couch.

► Two men in an SUV chase a detective in his unmarked police car in a few scenes: In one scene the detectives escapes by speeding into a rest stop, kicking the block glass from a restroom window, jumping out, and driving off with his siren blaring; in another scene the detective loses them in traffic and in a third scene the detective backs into their SUV at a stoplight, orders them from the car at gunpoint, and uniformed policemen find automatic weapons in the SUV and arrest the men. A detective chases and pulls over a man's limousine at gunpoint, he punches out the driver's window knocking the driver unconscious, gets in the back seat, presses a gun to another man's throat and asks him, "How does it feel?"
