Multiple police dogs are killed in self defense by the main character. Their deaths aren’t shown, but it is heard. This happens around 35 minutes in.

A wild boar is stabbed with a spear offscreen. We hear it scream which is quick but fairly disturbing.

No, but Rambo does hold a knife to a cop’s throat. The cop has trouble breathing, but Rambo lets him go.

On the contrary, the police brutality depicted in the film is seen as heinous & completely uncalled for, turning the cops into the bad guys.

Unlike the over-the-top, unrealistic sequels, this is a serious film that attempts to bring awareness to PTSD which had not been portrayed much onscreen at the time of its release, certainly not by a main character.
