A man drags a woman onto the beach, straddles her and rips off some of her clothes, but he's stopped before it can go any further. It happens on-screen as silhouettes barely lit by moonlight

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.
