There's a man that's taking a suitcase of money to the bank, someone goes to handcuff the handle of the briefcase to the man's wrist but the handcuffs barely fit due to the man's size. He laughs and says the police have the same problem.

This is debatable as we're not told that any characters are mentally ill however James is shown to have anger issues, paranoia and narcissism. He gets very angry and physically reactive in multiple scenes, some include domestic violence.

Besides seeing characters smoke cigarettes we don't SEE substance addiction but we see signs of it. James irl had issues of drug addiction and alcoholism.
His father was an alcoholic and had a gambling addiction.

There are some scenes where it's very possible a character has had too much to drink but we aren't told that's the case.

There is no plane crash but on his way into Vietnam to perform James' plane is shot at and an engine bursts into flames. We see the pilot having some trouble landing the plane and band members being freaked out but that's about it. (It doesn't appear that this event ever happened in real life.)

There's a scene where children are forced to fight one another until there's only one standing. As far as we know the kids are just knocked out, not dead.
We're also told a few times about how James was "born dead" and needed the life breathed into him.

Characters are punched in the mouth a few times but we don't see broken teeth, just bloody mouths.

It’s certainly implied in the way that some of the male characters treat women though an actual sexual assault isn’t seen

There are small amounts of blood in several scenes. It's usually child James with a body mouth.
I wouldn't consider it gory at all.
