A few peoples/androids heads (and bodies) are blown off. Not sure if that really counts but it might be a trigger, so I'll just put it here.

There are several scenes in which cyborgs, who appear human, lose body parts, or are shown with missing body parts. In one scene, a cyborg's muscles grow and contort, until the skin tears and limbs tear off.

A cyborg character has a “feature” where his fingers can split into smaller parts so he can type extremely fast. It is not graphic.

Few "exploding" heads and bodies. Isolated scenes, not the entire movie. I saw all of them coming, so not unexpected. Maybe the first one is the hardest to predict. After she jumps in the beginning of the movie, there is a group of people standing in front of a window front/wall (?). One of them will be killed. Short, but very graphic.

There are multiple bloody deaths, most featuring heads “exploding”, though they are all (somewhat) quick scenes.

There are cyborg bodies throughout the film, which can resemble mannequins.
There’s one shot of naked mannequins in a store window.

Out of desperation, a Cyborg overexerts themselves during a fight and unintentionally breaks a large portion of their body.

A human-appearing entity stands in front of a truck and does not move; it's hit by the truck, but does not die. The imagery evokes the idea of suicide-by-truck
