He lunges at another man and the man screams in horror. The man then lunges and welps on a road and a car collides and rams him (blood splashes on the windows). Disgusting!

Violence & Gore

  • Murphy's hand is blown off at close range with a shotgun. He is shown holding the stump while blood gushes heavily from the wound. The arm of that same hand is then blown off. This is all done for the amusement of the men shooting him. The band of men proceed to fire at his chest continuously with shotguns, laughing sadistically. Even though Murphy is shot so extensively, his body is protected with a Kevlar suit which shield his body from the bullets so he only feels the force of the bullets. Because of the Kevlar suit, he survives this attack and one of the men finishes him with a single shot to his head. The back of his head is blown out. There's a brief shot of the aftermath of the attack, showing his body surrounded by blood.
