Parent Guide

A pony is surrounded by several cheering, raucous men and dragged to the ground by one leg with one of the men on its back. You can clearly see the pony is terrified.

As might be expected this movie is severely violent. There are numerous decapitations, severed heads, heads hanging from ship masts, etc. A lot of battle violence was cut short; it could have been much worse. But it is definitely a war movie, with blood, stabbings, arrow shots, gun wounds, the gamut. Definitely not a family film.

An old man is tortured; he is tied to a chair and soldiers press hot irons to his body (offscreen). You hear him gasping and grunting in pain.

A heavily wounded soldier attempts to kill another soldier with a bloodstained sword. He is shot by a musket. The wounded soldier is covered in blood.

A boat with a man's severed head hanging from a mast arrives with more severed heads in the cargo hold. All of the heads have had their noses and ears chopped off, and we can see dried blood at the nose, ear and neck cuts. These heads are subsequently involved in a burial scene, with a throng of people scrambling over the heads, looking for familiar faces.

Throughout the movie soldiers are being killed by musket shots, swords, spears, naginatas (a weapon; a staff pole with a sword blade on one end), sickles, arrows, wooden maces, cannon shot, and handheld projectiles. Almost every single death on screen involves a spurt of blood, a dying scream or grunt, and a few shots of the victim falling dead.

A soldier is decapitated. We see his severed head, wearing a helmet, get picked up and strung to a mast.

A soldier is shot in the eye by an arrow. For several seconds we see the man screaming and clutching his eye. The wound is covered by the soldier's hand, but we can see blood flowing down his cheek. The soldier screams in pain as he falls off a boat and into the water.

A man is stabbed numerous times as he tries to fight back. We see the man scream several times and see blood all over his shirt. The man's own sword is bloodstained.

In many scenes we see people coughing up blood. In one scene, an old man coughs up blood due to illness. We see blood splatter from his mouth into a tissue he is holding, and a shot shows the blood on the tissue. In other scenes, soldiers who are wounded cough up blood. In a few scenes, soldiers get their throats slit and we see blood flowing from their mouths and neck wounds.
