Several dead bodies are shown with bloody bullet holes. They are surrounded by pools of blood.
A dead body has a very bloody chest bullet wound.
A pimp is beaten, blood on the nose and mouth. A few bloodless punches and pushes.
A woman is shot in the head three times. The perpetrator tilts her head to the side and blood is shown coming out of her mouth.
A man is shown getting beaten up in an alley. Most of it is offscreen.
A car blows up and kills a man inside.
A dead couple has very bloody bullet wounds.
Two cops shoot a man and we see blood spurts. Blood is shown pooling out onto the side of the road.
A man gets briefly injured in a car bombing. Some blood is on his face and his arm is completely burned.
A man's hand is slammed viciously with a hammer to the point where it bleeds profusely from a bone fragment piercing through.
The violence is much more extreme and graphic than GoodFellas, The Departed, and even Taxi Driver. This may be Scorsese's most unflinching film ever released in terms of violence.
Two men are shot in the head, blood leaks from the back of their heads.
Some brutal torture sequences.
Two gangsters are attacked and brutally beaten. Bones in one of the victim's bloodied face are heard cracking as he gets repeatedly hit with metal baseball bats whilst helpless on the ground. The same man's lifeless body is stripped of clothing and thrown into a hole. His brother is screaming and crying throughout the scene. He is then hit on the head with a baseball bat and we see blood gushing out of his forehead. Later we see his entire body also stripped down, and covered in blood and bruises. Still breathing, he is then tossed into the same hole, and the brothers are buried in quicklime. You see the second victim stop breathing once the soil is shoveled onto his face.
A man is violently stabbed in the neck with a pen several times (blood briefly squirts in closeup) and then kicked multiple times and stabbed some more around the upperbody, he is offscreen after the first seven stabs. We see the attacker with a bloody pen-holding hand for several seconds.
An extremely bloodied and beat up gangster has his head tightened in a vise. It is implied that he was tortured for two days. His eye bloodily pops out of his head for a split-second. Blood briefly spurts from his mouth, running down his cheeks. His throat is then slit with a switchblade (seen from a distance). This scene is graphic and disturbing
A man is shocked once with a cattle prod and has his hand smashed a few times with a hammer in close up, he screams multiple times. Blood trickles out of his hand. He has a very bludgeoned wound on his hand and blood is shown on the table.
Several shootings, not overly violent, although a few bloody bullet wounds are seen. Two women are included, one is briefly riddled in the chest with bullet wounds and the other is shot in the head a few times with blood dripping out her mouth. The most violent scenes are the brutal beatings
A man is hit on the head, and has a bag put over to suffocate in his blood.
