| violence |
The strongest portrayal of violence occurs in a lengthy battle scene involving two armies. It includes sequences of combatants being slashed, stabbed and impaled with various weapons such as axes, flails, swords and spears, where the weapons are sometimes shown piercing through the victims.
There are also sequences that show waves of arrows decimating some tribesmen, and some men dying in a blaze of fire.
At one point in the battle, a chariot with revolving blades attached to its front, mows into a horde of tribesmen, throwing the men to the sides as it bulldozes through the crowd.
Despite the intensity of the battle scene, blood spurting occurs infrequently with no clear depiction of wounds or injuries.
In another scene, a man is seen being decapitated where the decapitation is depicted fleetingly without details of blood or injuries. Moments later, the headless body is shown staggering forward and collapsing on the ground.
