Black Hawk Down (2001) More at IMDbPro »

A man makes a hand gesture representing masturbation. A picture of a woman in lingerie is shown while a man is calling his wife.

Violence ensues throughout the film; sometimes fast paced and nearly bloodless, others graphically shown.

Most deaths are from gun shots, but there are some more intense/graphic deaths that are listed below:

An armed boy shoots an adult male (presumably his father) on accident and cries by his corpse (sad).

Men wounded in a crash zone fight off hundreds of armed civilians; one is shot in the head, another shot numerous times in graphic detail, stripped of his clothes (underwear still on) and carried through the crowd, and the third man is hit violently with the butt of another's weapon and taken as hostage.

An explosion severs a man in half (it is not seen, but his top half is graphically shown for several seconds while people lift him up).

A man is being operated on and blood spews from an artery (this is a very intense situation). The doctors are forced to reach inside his leg and pull the retracted artery back up (all shown in graphic detail; this is probably the goriest scene of the whole film.)

A severed hand is picked up and put in a pocket.

A man with an AK-47 jumps in front of a Humvee and shoots the gunner in the neck, blood spews on the camera.

An explosion literally blows a man apart (there is blood, but not tons of it).

An RPG impales a man, and he is still alive for a brief time (no explosion).

42 f-words, along with two obscene hand gestures, 19 s-words, and many other profanities.

Smoking is shown and discussed briefly.

A few references to drugs and alcohol.

Scenes of battle trauma and field operations (including agonizing injuries as mentioned above in "Violence and Gore"), and intense battle sequences.

This is quite a graphic film.
