Considering Harry's choice of weapon, a .44 Magnum, there is much less gore than would actually be seen in equivalent real life situations.

Police brutality is presented as a good thing. If this film was made today Harry would not be the good guy

Not sure why people marked "No" for this. There is a major plot point in which a character pays a thug to beat him up (rather violently) in order to frame Harry.

The serial killer present in the movie is implied to be incredibly mentally ill, and is of course very violent.
