Graphically and unnecessarily in just about every scene. Almost as if it's the main focus of the movie really
A very unnecessary and graphic unnecessary and graphic scene where Wallace kills an English Soldier with a morning star and another soldier starts unnecessarily and repeatedly stabbing Wallace's horse in the throat instead of Wallace who has his back to him
Another 3-5 minute scene during a battle, multiple horses are shown being graphically being stabbed by pikes and there's too much focus on them bleeding and screaming as they die. (I get that it actually happened but there was no need to show so many)
Later in the movie Wallace forces his horse to jump out of the highest window of a barracks and into a mote. It's body is shown floating dead in the moat.
Another later where Robert The Bruce charges Wallace and his Jousting Lance is for no reason, shown penetrating and killing Wallace's horse

Horses are gravely injured and killed on the battlefield. No deliberate abuse of any animal appears in the film.

An English soldier tries to rape William Wallace’s wife. Also, while the assault is not on-screen, soldiers come to a wedding under the institution of “prima noctae,” taking the new bride away to sleep with her. She rides away with a soldier and that’s all we see, but it may be triggering to abuse survivors.

During his execution/torture, William Wallace is partially hanged. He also gasps for breath because he’s in pain.

Many people are burned alive at around the 1:38:00 mark. I would skip until 1:39:50.

At the end during the execution it cuts to the king of England coughing and vomiting. It is over quite quick and dark but the audio is fairly unpleasant

In the movie Wallace and his wife are supposed to be similar ages, however Mel Gibson is 16 years older than Catherine McCormac.

It's not sad if you don't mind seeing a historically inaccurate, careless murderer of horses receive a well deserved and equally brutal death

A character’s head is smashed, another character has an arrow pulled out of his body, and there are lots of dead bodies. During battle sequences, there’s a lot of graphic stabbing/impaling, shooting with arrows, and beheadings. Blood on characters in the aftermath of battles is shown.
