Parent Guide

Payne takes Harry hostage and Jack shoots his partner in the leg to make him less mobile.

Payne makes semi-graphic taunts to Jack by saying he will get a medal if he "picks up all the bus driver's teeth." He also says that the police will have to pick up someone's remains "with a sponge."

The film is loaded with explosions and gunplay, but not too much blood. And, there is the constant fear of disaster.

Payne fires a shotgun through the roof of an elevator at Jack and Harry. Harry falls into the elevator and Payne grabs him by the nostrils. Jack ends up in the elevator at gunpoint and flinches when Payne pulls the trigger, but the shotgun doesn't fire.

Jack and Payne fight with punches thrown and Payne slamming Jack's head onto the car. As Payne tries to strangle Jack, his head is forced up into the path of a hanging light that decapitates him.

12 level of violence.

An explosion blows Jack into a wall, knocking him unconscious.

A woman tries to get off the bus, but Payne sets off an explosion that kills her.

The bus runs into a plane, the bomb goes off, and both vehicles blow up.

Since they have to keep the bus above 50 M. P. H., it runs into many cars, signs, etc... that are in its way.

The bus strikes a baby carriage that turns out to be filled with aluminum cans and not a child.

Several officers are killed in a house that's been rigged with a bomb that goes off.

An out of control subway car crashes through a construction site.

Payne fires his machine gun through a subway car's roof at Jack.

R violence type: blood and graphic.

A man gets stabbed viciously in the side of the head through the ear with a screwdriver by Payne. Some blood spurts out, but it's brief and not too graphic. Later, when the man falls dead, the whole side of his face and head is covered with blood (not graphic).

A bus explodes, killing the driver.

A man on the bus pulls out a gun and Jack draws his. As Jack tries to talk the man down, another passenger grabs the first man and the gun accidentally goes off, striking the bus driver in the shoulder. Jack then hits the first man several times to control him.

Several people have cuts and bruises.

A man gets shot in the back by Payne several times while driving a subway train.
