Kitano plays Murakawa, a Tokyo yakuza tiring of gangster life. Along with a few of his henchmen, he is sent by his boss to Okinawa to help end a gang war, supposedly to mediate between two warring clans. He finds that the dispute between the clans is insignificant and whilst wondering why he was sent to Okinawa at all, Murakawa's headquarters are bombed and he and his gang are ambushed in a bar.

A man gets shot in the leg repeatedly to obtain a confession at the end of the movie. The shots happen off-screen but there are brief showings of his bloody leg, though the scene is quite darkly lit

The film opens with a drawn-out scene of several Yakuza interrogating a man and submerging him underwater repeatedly. Eventually they submerge him for several minutes, and when he is pulled up he is unresponsive.

Several gun shooting scenes that happen rather suddenly. You can see holes appear on characters' chest and blood immediately stain their shirts, but there's no big splashing of blood.
A man imagines shooting himself with a gun to his temple and you can see some dark blood trickle from his temple.
At the end of the movie, a man actually shoots himself with a gun, there is a little splashing of blood and then a lingering shot on his unmoving body through bloodstained car windows.
There is never any close-up on any wound

Several deadly shootouts, and a suicide by gun. Russian Roulette is played, but with an unloaded gun.
