The scene is telegraphed and is easy to look away from. There are kicks to genitals interspersed with the fight scene. A broken bottle is presumed to strike the genitals, but is off screen.

One of the characters spits blood on her husband's face after being assaulted by him. The people voting "no" really paid attention to the film?

The main character beats up a lot of characters, including his wife. Screams are heard, and the sound of the hits.

Spoiler: One of the protagonist's friends, "Uncle Billy", rapes the protagonist's daughter. He is not actually related to the family, so it's not incest.
