Seppuku (1962) Plus avec IMDbPro »

a man stabs himself a few times in the gut with a bamboo knife, very little blood shown on the tip. the man proceeds to lean on the knife and it sinks into his belly, blood gushes out. the man tries to pull the blade across his belly but he can't, instead he continues to bleed. the man bites off his tongue (little blood comes out of his mouth) and is decapitated (no blood).

the bloody body of a man is seen with a bloody knife lying next to him.

men draw their swords in a threatening manner.

three separate sword fights are seen. nothing graphic.

there is a prolonged (and realistic) fight scene between a man and many assailants. a man is cut on his chest and a little blood leaks and squirts out. this is shown for a few seconds. a man is cut on his forehead and blood drips down his face. a man is sliced on the belly and bleeds on a wall. a man is cut several times and struggles to fight back (not to mention is a little blood-covered). another man is cut on the belly. a man is run through with a sword, this is shown graphically with a moderate amount of blood. a man stabs himself in the gut, pulls the blade across his belly, and is shot.

in the aftermath of the fight scene, blood splatters are shown on the ground and wall.

this movie is surprisingly brutal and intense.

the first harakiri scene in particular is rather disturbing and violent.

this movie is very tension oriented.
