I don't know, but I was pretty uncomfortable watching those horses stagger through the snow, with two of them falling down. I hope it was movie magic but it looked like a bad situation.

No nudity, no sex on screen, nothing explicit. Lots of lustful words and gazes, some kissing. Most of it non-consensual.

For all the people who get shot, I think the only blood we see is from Bruhn's wound and the operation he has to get the bullet out. From about minute 28 to about minute 32.

It might be worth noting that one of the women is implied to have romantic feelings for one of the outlaws--he was the "nicest" one, and helped protect her from the more vicious outlaws, but he was still one of them.

(The site changed this question from "rape" to "sexual assault" so I have to change my answer from No to Yes.) Tex sexually assaults Helen onscreen during the saloon dance scene. He pushes her against the wall and forcibly kisses her. She tries to push him off, but he's too strong for her. It ends when another character points a gun at him. Also during the saloon dance scene, Pace repeatedly tries to forcibly kiss Ernine onscreen.

Major, unavoidable part of the movie. From the moment the outlaws walk into town, they (or at least some of them) want to rape the townswomen. The first time Tex sees Helen he tries to grab her. Later, Pace forcibly grabs Ernine, but is made to let her go. One of the other women is seen crying and fleeing from the outlaws with her dress partly unbuttoned. This all culminates in a long and disturbing "saloon dance" scene in which the frightened women are forced to dance with the outlaws. The outlaws are rough and keep trying to forcibly kiss the women. Eventually Tex pins Helen against the wall and sexually assaults her, but is made to stop by another character.

The word "rape" is not spoken in the movie, but there is a LOT of discussion about rape, it's just phrased in more euphemistic language. The outlaws' open desire to rape the women, and the question of who or what (if anything) can stop them, is basically the main plot of the middle of the movie. Cannot be skipped/avoided.
