A dog isn't seen dead but in a racist remark, it's revealed there's a case about a Vietnamese man eating his neighbor's dog.

The only way for the immortals to die is for their heads to be cut off. One character has his head almost cut off and holds it together by using paper clips.

There are a few scenes where characters fall from high places, but in each case it's a character who has already been established as an immortal and he comes to no lasting harm from the fall.

As Clan Macleod go off to battle, there's a brief lighthearted conversation that includes references to someone wetting himself in fear. No actual depictions.

Lots of decapitation (as this is the only way the immortals can die), fake blood and bulletwounds. Blood is shown dripping from mouths after injuries that should be fatal, but happen to immortal characters that are only harmed.
