The way The Stuff affects ones face or body involves just general mouth horror and face damage. There's no specific teeth pulling or smashing though.

A character punches someone, and we hear someone say, "He just broke his jaw," but we barely see or hear anything and the context is comedic.

I don't think so, but there might be some upsetting visuals, with a body being taken over, and The Stuff being a white foam.

There is a paramilitary that shoots at people (machine gun noises and visuals), and someone is shot in the head. Later a pistol is shot in the air as a threat.
