I’d say no, but someone’s toe is cut off. This is not shown on screen, you just see the toe in gauze long after it was cut and then you see the girl who lost the toe and that part of her foot is red

The bathtub scene has an animal dropped on someone’s genitals, the animal has claws and starts freaking out, it isn’t mentioned but I feel that it’s implied that harm is caused or meant to happen? Or at least that mental trauma is meant to be caused. They hold the man down so the animal can freak out on him.

The Dude tries to invalidate Walter's jewish religion, saying he's not jewish but polish catholic.
There are characters disregarding Shabbat, which matters very much to Walter.
Walter punches a German guy and says "antisemite!"
That's it. This movie is notable in the American Jewish community, Walter is kind of celebrated for being so non-stereotypical.

The threatening an innocent man with a gun scene is pretty intense.
Also an Uzi wrapped in paper is dropped in the street and goes off.

No, but there's a scene where a character is tortured/interrogated by his head being repeatedly shoved into a toilet.
