"The rules around ratings aren't what a lot of people think they are," McQuoid said. "It's amount of blood, it's amount of red, it's interpretation of how you go about it. We had a lot of discussions about getting the balance right so there was gore and there was blood and there were fatalities."There are some crazy fatalities," Tan added. "We've picked a couple of iconic ones. There's a lot of really cool signature moves that you'll see, a lot of Easter eggs that we snuck into the film, but there are some really badass fatalities that I can't wait to see on the big screen. They're brutal, man. They, they don't hold back."
"We wanted to push the [blood, gore and fatalities] right to the limit," McQuoid says. That includes, but isn’t limited to, someone having their heart ripped out of their chest – just in case you were wondering."Obviously, there’s a point where the film becomes unreleasable if you push it too far, and that would be a very unwise return on investment for the studio," McQuoid explains. "But from day one it’s been, ‘Okay, we’re doing this and we’re going to do it properly.’"That’s a mantra echoed by producer Todd Garner, who reveals that his very first conversation with the studio involved him asking if the movie was going to be R-Rated. Their reply? "There’s no other way."
