Over-the-top violence with guns and swords. Many people die bloody deaths.
A meat hook is stabbed through a character's throat and up out his head. Scene lasts about 3 seconds.
While executed with an outlandish and comic tone, most violence is still quite frequent.
People vomit large amounts of blood multiple scenes.
A character's throat is slashed and blood squirts across the screen.
A samurai sword gets put through the side of a character's neck, blood pouring out everywhere.
Half of a man's head gets shot off, blood squirts everywhere.
A character is stabbed in the eye by a throwing knife.
A compilation of murders are shown. While done for comedic effect some of the kills are very brutal. This includes people getting shot with major blood spurts/splatters, a character getting a machete shoved in shoulder, a character while being strangled gets a hook shoved through his throat to the top of his head (this is shown in graphic detail), a character gets his throat penetrated by two swords, people get run over, explosions etc.
A man is shoved through the roof of a train where he gets ripped in half after hitting something. His dismembered upper half is seen rolling down the roof of the train. Quick but pretty bloody.
Two men are run over by a train. A huge explosion of blood is seen when they get run over. Quick.
It is implied that a child was pushed off of a roof. He is shown unconscious in a hospital bed.
There is a flashback revisited frequently throughout the film of an entire party of people dying of poison. They are screaming and bleeding profusely from their eyes while projectile vomiting excessive amounts of blood. It's very outlandish and played with a slight comedic tone. Still quite graphic.
A woman dies of poison very slowly. The scene is fairly extended as she crawls along the floor, blood streaming from her eyes and mouth, although bloody, the scene has a comedic and light tone to it.
A man is stabbed in the shoulder. He is seen later with a large blood stain on his shirt surrounding the wound.
Two men are seen stuffing body parts into bins of some kind. Sounds of a chainsaw suggest they are chopping up bodies, but this much is not shown. Just a flash of dismembered body parts. This is a flashback that is revisited a few times. The dismembered body parts are always shown very briefly, albeit graphically. The men are covered in blood-soaked plastic smocks. In an extended version of the flashback, a grisly scene of dead bodies are shown, also briefly.
A dead man is shown with blood seeping from his eyes. Not graphic and lasts around 3 seconds.
In a revisited flashback, a woman is T-Boned in a car accident. Her reaction as the car approaches is all that's seen, and an external shot of the cars colliding.
A man is stabbed through the face with a sword which is driven upward through the top of his head. Very graphic.
Two men get into an argument about how many people they killed while trying to get someone's son back, which ends up turning into a very violent flashback scene showing a person getting shot in the head, a guy getting stabbed with two swords at once, a man getting a meat hook shoved through his head, etc. All done for comedic effect but pretty graphic.
Multiple deaths are shown in sequences of gory and graphic action that include a meat hook shoved to the throat in bloody and graphic detail, gun fights and knife fights that end in people getting killed in a brutal fashion. There are 2 decapitations, one whose body is shown briefly and fast and another shown in a gory way. Bullet Train is a film which is very disturbing, gory and violent.
Onscreen body count: 51. High, but not as graphic and disturbing as other bloody action films such as the john wick series, district 9, nobody, the suicide squad, Braveheart, the harder they fall, and much more. The violence is NOT realistic a feels seemlier to the violence shown in movies such as Deadpool, Kingsman and zombieland.
Lots of violence, most done with a lighthearted tone as this is a comedy in some form.
