A young man drinks snake blood in an effort to prove himself to another man. Multiple snakes are visible behind a glass barrier as he prepares to drink the blood. Some may find this scene repulsive.
Françoise suddenly jumps off a cliff into the water far below. Her friends call out to her thinking she may be dead, but she survives.
In the deleted scenes, Sal and Richard swim through an underwater cavern leading to another part of the island. He follows her through the cave without emerging for quite awhile. When he finally resurfaces, he is gasping for breath and claiming to have almost drowned, while Sal acts as though she doesn't care.
While swimming to the island, Étienne claims that he that he saw a shark fin in the water near Richard. Though only a prank, the scene is rather intense, as Richard is scared out of his wits and especially in light of real shark attacks later in the film.
In the first 30 minutes, some viewers might find the fleabag scenes in Bangkok disturbing. Also the shark scene is quite intense.
