Predator: Killer of Killers VIOLENCE/GORE 9

 – Alien beings are shown with claw-like nails, large pointed teeth, they are very strong and use weapons that cause large explosions and when they are injured, we see green blood.
► An alien being attacks several armed people in a structure, he throws one man to the ceiling where he is stuck to a beam and blood splatters, and another is thrown against a wall and blood gushes; the being holds a man’s severed head and we see part of his spinal column covered with blood. A woman is thrown by a being and slides down an ice cliff as she sees a structure where her son is pinned under a beam collapse; she falls and lands in frigid water and a being follows searching for her among many wrecked ships stuck in the ice. A woman wraps an anchor and chain around a being and it is pulled back onto the point of the anchor driving it through its head and out its mouth with blood gushing into the water.
► A being appears and fights with many armed men; it slashes a man’s hand off (we see the severed limb and blood) and cuts another man in half (we see the two body parts separate with a gush of blood) and the being kills several more men with slashes and blasts and we see blood splatter. A being fights two men using blades on chains and it stabs one man with two blades, the chain is thrown and wraps around a tree cutting it in half and the trunk falls nearly crushing one man, the other man fights with the being using a sword and he is thrown against a rock as the being’s weapon explodes, blowing it up (we see green go splattered on a tree) and the two men charge toward the being’s cloaked remains and slash it in half (we see the severed parts with green goo. Three people speed up a shear wall toward an alien being that they fight: two are held by the being with its hands over their heads and a bladed weapon presses toward the eye of one person, he gets free but is stabbed in the side and is struck by a thrown spear that cuts off his arm (it separates from his body with a gush of blood).
► A woman fights many enemy combatants and uses shields to slash and sever their heads (we see heads and limbs being cut off and blood gushes) as they attack her with spears. A woman slides down a chain attached to a flying vessel and releases it from the ground, setting the vessel free as she is held by several alien beings. A man hides under a log and floats to a river bank where he shoots a dart into a guard’s neck; the guard collapses and the man under the log attacks several other guards silencing them before they raise an alarm; one man’s body is dropped over a railing and lands on others below, smoke bombs are deployed and guards are slashed and stabbed. Two men fight using swords and one man head-butts the other, daggers are thrown and one man swings a chain with a blade attached to it; they fight on a balcony railing and one man is kicked off, landing hard on the floor, one man leans against a railing where the other man slashes him on the face and the railing breaks away causing him to fall out of sight (we think he’s dead, but we see him again).
► Many ships approach land and flaming arrows are shot at them; factions fight with swords, knives and arrows on shore and we see bloody bodies on the ground as one man is tied and questioned, he is slashed on the side (we see intestines through the gash) and later cut in half at the waist (we see body parts separate and blood gushes). Three people are instructed by a large alien being with a deep voice to fight to the death and the victor will fight with it; they use axes and swords to fight each other and other alien beings; a giant alien creature enters the arena and swallows a young man (we see him inside the creature), and he stabs it from the inside as the others slash it from the outside killing it with a lot of blood sprays and gushing. A man is dismissive of a woman calling her weak and disgusting; the man’s head is cut off and falls to the floor with a gush of blood.
► A plane is chased by an alien vessel through a populated area, between buildings and narrow roadways, and the alien vessel crashes into water as a pilot parachutes to safety. A pilot is attacked by an alien vessel and his head is cut off before the plane explodes. A young man flying a plane climbs onto the wing to release a part of the wing that is burning; the plane tips and dives wildly, nearly throwing the young man off, and his jacket sleeve catches fire (he removes it). A young man takes off from an aircraft carrier and clips a buoy as he tries to gain altitude; he flies next to other planes warning them of an unseen attacker as other planes are struck and explode (we see pilots impaled by a weapon and blood spurts); a large alien vessel materializes attacking planes and it chases a young man in a plane. A young man inspects a large weapon that he finds in a wrecked plane and it launches itself through another plane and nearly hits the pilot inside it. An aircraft carrier is shown with airplanes wrecked and in flames and one pilot is on the ground with bloody wounds.
► A young girl cries over her wounded father (we see several arrows in his chest and abdomen); he places her hand on a dagger and stabs himself as she cries and pleads. A woman yells in grief when her son dies in her arms. Bells toll as a man’s body is covered with a sheet and a pyre burns. A man gives two boys swords and indicates that they should fight each other; one boy sheaths his sword and the other charges toward him; he draws his blade and they fight with their blades clanging together and one boy falls to the floor with a bloody slash on his face as the other runs away. Footsteps sink in the ground as a cloaked being approaches a woman. Three people are shown being held captive with glowing collars around their necks. Many containment tubes are shown in a storage area and we see two women inside two of them.
► A woman tells her son to “bloody his blade” before a battle. A woman describes feeling like a monster is “wrapped around her heart.” People pray to Odin and ask for their blades to be blessed. A woman tells a boy to kill a prisoner; he stands near him as the man tells him that he will haunt his dreams if he kills him.
► A young man drives recklessly swerving on a road until his car breaks down. Two boys use sticks to swat leaves as if they are swords. A woman has a swath of blood across her eye and cheek (a familial mark). A man urinates on a riverbank and we see the stream. A woman spits in a young man’s hand (we see saliva).
