Fargo contains scenes of strong violence but it is depicted in a darkly, humourous manner.
Gaear Grimsrud gets bit in the hand by Jean Lundegaard.
Shep attacks a man (who was investigating the commotion between him and Carl) and slams him against a wall repeatedly and knocking him out in the process.
Shep kicks a hooker (who was having sex with Carl) in the back.
This has VERY graphic and bloody violence.
The scene where the body is thrown on the wood chipper is the most graphic scene of the movie by far. TONS of blood and flesh sprays out.
A man is shot in the stomach, and he shoots his attacker in the face. Blood spurts and he shoots the other man seven times and kicks his corpse twice. The man who was shot in the face survives and the very bloody wound is shown for the rest of the movie.
There is a break in and the two men chase the woman around the house and she locks her self in the bathroom. They find her which lead to a fight and her falling down the stairs. She is kidnapped.
R violence type: blood, brutal and graphic.
Gaear Grimsrud grabs a police officer by his head and slams him against his (and Carl's) car. He then shoots the officer in the head, causing a large spurt of blood pour coming out. Carl Showalter also gets covered with some of the officer's blood..
A couple are killed after witnessing the cop shooting. After crashing their car, the man is shot in the back while trying to run away (no blood is shown). The woman is then shot offscreen while pinned in the car.
A man is brutally attacked while having sex. He is beaten and whipped and kicked. The woman he is with is also kicked.
A man is shot in the back of the leg whilst fleeing from a police officer. A little blood appears on his wounded leg.
