THE EXECUTIONER is a Japanese martial arts film in which three ruthless killers are hired to take down a Tokyo drug dealer.

sex
A man repositions his erect penis underneath his trousers after harrassing a woman and groping her thigh. There are several scenes featuring gratuitous focus on female nudity.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A woman is ordered to strip naked in front of an audience. She is ordered to get down on all fours while a man places a cane between her buttocks. In other scenes of sexual threat, an assassin attacks a couple during sex; the woman screams after the man momentarily joins her under the bedsheets. In another sequence, a man persistently harrasses and gropes a woman, including staring at her crotch under the table.
additional issues
Scenes of violence include impressionistic beatings resulting in bloody injury detail, such as a man’s eyes bulging from their sockets, and a man biting off another’s ear. In another sequence, it’s implied that a man plunges his fist into another’s chest and extracts a rib. There are also scenes of stylised martial arts fighting. Among visual references to drug addiction is a photographic image of a bloody track mark, and heroin preparation. There is moderate bad language (‘screw’), accompanied by other milder terms (‘bastard’, ‘moron’, ‘hell’ and ‘damn’).
