violence
Scenes of violence include shootings, stabbings, slashings, use of improvised weapons including Christmas ornaments, ice skates, a sledgehammer, and homemade 'booby traps'. People are fed into a woodchipper, and a dead man's face catches fire. Instances of violence typically result in bloody detail, but much of the action is comic in nature with fantastical and stylised overtones.
language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker', 'c**ksucker') throughout, along with milder terms including 'bitch', 'whore', 'dick', 'asshole', 'ass', 'balls', 'hell', 'damn', 'God', 'shit', 'butt' and 'crap'.
sex
Infrequent crude references are made to sex, and there are instances of rude humour.
injury detail
In the aftermath of violence there is occasional focus on injury detail - such as a man stitching up a wound - and gory detail, including a bloody torso devoid of limbs.
additional issues
There are sequences of moderate threat, including gun and knife threat. An undetailed reference is made to a teen avoiding a sexual harassment charge. A disillusioned Santa Claus is seen drinking, vomiting and urinating, and complaining about the behaviour of children today - referring to them as 'junkies'.
