Many intense scenes. One involves a home invasion and kidnapping.
Some intense scenes include police search of suspicious criminals, a brief car chase, running from peril, shootings, and dangerous encounters.
Whilst Carl Showalter and Gaear Grimsrud may frighten viewers, it is Gaear who brings the most scares of the pair. He is heavily implied to be a psychopath as he rarely talks and he kills all his victims with no hesitation or remorse.
Heavy violence, but most of it is strangely funny.
Much of the film is rather intense with woodchipper scene being the most intense moment.
Some may find the scene with Shep Proudfoot attacking Carl Showalter, the hooker and the person investigating the commotion to be rather intense to watch.
