Violence & Gore

- Scott's character gets into fisticuffs with the P. I. and a Los Angeles rap parlor bouncer hammerlocks him down a stairway onto the street. Scott's character also attacks the porn actor he found had sex with his daughter (some blood shown on the man's face). A man and woman are stabbed in a "snuff" film that Scott watches in San Francisco and Scott's character raises his fist at Niki and slaps her to get info about Tod's whereabouts.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
