15 certificate in the UK for "strong bloody violence, language, drug misuse"
https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/showdown ... 0xmde2ode0

violence
Strong violence includes bloody shootings, stabbings, throat slashings, and use of improvised weapons. In a sequence depicting a scene from another fictional film, a woman is stabbed in the mouth with a machete; bloodshed is plentiful in this and other scenes, but such scenes are imbued with comedy and stylised overtones. There are also crunchy beatings, and people being struck by vehicles.

language
There is occasional use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('shit', 'son of a bitch', 'ass', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'hell', 'God' and 'damn'). Also, there is occasional use of discriminatory terms (e.g. 'poof').

drugs
There are brief scenes of people snorting drugs, as well as verbal references to drug misuse.

flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

There are comic sex references and innuendo.
