We see the same scene of domestic violence twice, the second time is longer and more detailed. Doss's father is yelling and threatening his mother with violence, including gun violence

The father is seen drinking and talking to a gravestone in the beginning. We assume he is an addict since he is seen as abusive and unstable.

Desmond has a nightmare where he sees a green flare. When looking out of the hole they’re in, there are several Japanese soldiers up close staring back. It is meant to make you jump.

As with any war film, many soldiers - including liked characters - die onscreen.
However, Doss successfully rescued 75 men from Hacksaw Ridge and lived on to the age of 87.
