• Violence Severe

  Towards the end of the film, Deadpool kills the main villain by mercilessly shooting him in the head. This happens below the frame but blood splatters on the camera, while a mutant standing next to Deadpool, Colossus, vomits in disgust. However, it happens quickly and it's mostly done for a comedic effect.

  Deadpool cuts off his own hand to free himself from Colossus, and as he's doing this he references the movie 127 hours. There is disturbing skin ripping sounds, the blood pours down his arm and gore splatters on Collosus. We then see lots of blood around the dismembered hand as it's giving the middle finger to Colossus, but one of Deadpool's powers are regeneration so it does regenerate through a couple days. Very gory but played for laughs.

  Deadpool and Ajax have a brutal final fight in which both are punched, kicked, and thrown into things. They initially fight with weapons, and then fists. At different points, Deadpool is stabbed in the back with an axe, and Ajax is stabbed in the leg with a sword, and the bloody wound is seen with the sword protruding. The two fight hand-to-hand, and Deadpool is stabbed in the head with a knife.

  There is an intense fight scene set in a scrapyard where Deadpool engages in combat, using swords to defeat his adversaries. The scene includes instances of graphic violence and action sequences.

  Colossus and Angel Dust have an intense fist fight in a scrapyard, with no blood shown as Colossus is made of metal.

  An extremely intense car chase commences after Deadpool jumps into the car off a bridge. There are frenetic punches and gunshots. The car then flips over numerous times and a man is flung into a highway sign. His entire body splats all over the sign. This is extremely bloody although extremely quick and lasts less than a second.

  Deadpool kills several mercenaries by shooting them in the head. Blood splatters and at one point, brain matter is spilt out of a person after being shot. Shown for a second or two.

  There is a music montage of Deadpool killing bad guys by shooting them and killing them with his swords, some blood shown. Deadpool gets shot a few times along the way, but survives. Not too bloody. A man is seen crawling on a hockey rink, leaving a massive trail of blood behind him, and then he's killed offscreen by Deadpool with a Zamboni.

  Deadpool is known to help people out and it results in violence most of the time.

  Deadpool goes to a bar which is where he got his name from. And people bet on others dying. And one fight is shown where they gang up on one man and beat him brutally and savagely. You see him after with a bloody face. Not too graphic. Just somewhat intense.

• Profanity Severe

  The N-word appears twice in a song.

  Many uses of profanity throughout, especially "s**t", "hell", "d**n" etc.

  One chopped off middle finger gesture by Deadpool.

  Some middle finger uses throughout the movie.

  79 uses of f**k, 11 paired with mother.

  Deadpool says cock shot 2 times.

  Around 60 f words. Most hard to hear. Most said by deadpool not offensively.

  Deadpool is probably the most vulgar and violent superhero of all, in the film Ryan Reynolds even insults his own previous role as Green Lantern-something that might have a negative impact on fans of that character.

• Drugs Mild

  Character inhales gunsmoke before alluding to a future scene about his intentions for masturbating. The inhalation and exhalation is reminiscent to that of a cigarette, even giving the character a form of relief after.

  Characters drink at a bar.

  Two references to cocaine, used as jokes.

• Frightening Scenes Moderate

  The villain Ajax is sadistic and he visibly takes pleasure from the pain of other people.

  A character is shown for extended periods of time being suffocated in a tank, causing skin defects and deformations which may be disturbing. The entire scene lasts about 5 minutes and may be tense/frightening.

  Deadpool's face is extremely disfigured, resembling a burn victim. This may be disturbing for some viewers.

  In one particular scene, a man is tortured over the course of weeks in increasingly more painful/stressful ways to unlock any dormant powers he might have; the torturer, however, visibly enjoys it. These include electrocution, waterboarding, hypothermia and painful drugs. In a final attempt, he is subjected to constant near-asphyxiation over the course of days. This eventually triggers his powers, but disfigures his body immensely in the process as the man screams in agony. Definitely the most disturbing moment in the film.

  In a secret government laboratory, several people are shown mutated in various, disturbing ways (such as abnormally-long bones protruding from a man's body, another man covered in boils and hives, etc).

  A man discovers he has terminal cancer after proposing to his girlfriend. He is shown in a severe depression after receiving the news. This can be upsetting and emotionally intense for some.
