History Main / RRatedOpening

** ''Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – TheMovie: Mugen Train'' opens with a graveyard scene of the previous Demon Slayers, with the first act of the movie containing a group of assassins intending to kill the passengers by breaking their spirits (including those of the main characters). The English dub of the film is rated R.

* ''Literature/MagicUniversity'': The very first book, ''The Siren and the Sword'', opens with a male student having what [[OrWasItADream he thinks]] is a very graphic {{erotic dream}} having sex with his girlfriend.

[[caption-width-right:350:[-Just another wholesome {{Creator/Disney}} mov-- wait, ''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]''-]]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'': In the span of the first two minutes there's a lot of drinking, lots of swearing, a VomitIndiscretionShot from a drunk Keyleth, a man asking another man to give him a hand-job (albeit as an InsultBackfire) and [[AnArmAndALeg somebody getting their hand chopped off]]. The party bard Scanlan is also found shortly afterwards naked in bed with a woman.

* ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'' opens with the main villain leading an invasion into a palace, killing everyone in sight, beheading the king ''in front of his son'' (bloodlessly, but still), and then capping off the intro cutscene by '''''preceding to brainwash said son into his mindless slave!'''''

* The opening of the original ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' has the main villain violently killing soldiers with his impish familiars. The main protagonist, Yuri, then proceeds to have a brutal fight with the BigBad which includes Yuri punching the villain's face in. Ironically, the rest of the game is far from being this violent again.

* ''Film/BasicInstinct'' starts with a man being tied up and a beautiful naked woman having sex with him, which turns into a murder scene as she stabs him to death with an icepick mid-act.

* ''Film/BasicInstinct'' starts with a man being tied up and then stabbed to death with an icepick mid-sex.

** ''Film/{{Logan}}'''s opening fight scene would never get away with a PG-13. The title character's first line is an [[PrecisionFStrike F-bomb]], and [[spoiler:in the fight he severs limbs and skewers his adversary's head with his claws]]. The small scale brutality of the fight also establishes that it will be a much more brutal experience than any other film in the series.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'': In the span of the first two minutes there's a lot of drinking, lots of swearing, a VomitIndiscretionShot from a drunk Keyleth, a man asking another man to give him a hand-job (albeit as an InsultBackfire) and [[AnArmAndALeg somebody getting their hand chopped off]].

* Shinji [[ADateWithRosiePalms helping himself]] over Asuka's [[DudeShesLikeInAComa comatose body]] at the start of ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]''. For bonus points, the Manga Entertainment dub has him saying that he is "so fucked up".

* ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'' appears to be a typical {{Fantasy}}-inspired work with NoNameGiven characters, such as Priestess, who is part of [[DevelopingDoomedCharacters a Greenhorn Team]] as they tackle a common goblin nest. All seems well until the [[SquishyWizard Wizard gets overwhelmed by the critters]] ([[OurGoblinsAreDifferent who are atypical in this setting]] as {{Not So Harmless Villain}}s) and stabbed in the gut with a poison dagger, [[SuicidalOverconfidence the Warrior is brutally murdered and torn apart]], and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil the Fighter is heinously and viciously gang-raped]]. Just as the goblins descend on the Priestess, the titular character arrives JustInTime, gives the Wizard a MercyKill because the poison's spread too far for an antidote, and then proceeds to [[LeaveNoSurvivors systematically slaughter every goblin in the nest]], ''[[WouldHurtAChild including goblin children]]'', [[NoSympathy with no pity, mercy or remorse whatsoever]].

* ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'' begins with a group of ''VideoGame/DragonQuest''-like rookie adventurers getting violently slaughtered and raped by goblins, all while showing their backstories right before their death or trauma. Right off the bat, this shows readers that the series doesn't run on {{RPG Mechanics|Verse}}, that its inspiration is Western fantasy settings rather than EasternRPG tropes, and that a story built around killing the "weakest" monsters can be just as much of a challenge as fighting the strongest. All references to rape and murder of adventurers afterwards is briefly touched on compared to the gorefest that was its initial chapter.

* The 2003 adaptation of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' starts off by showing the transmutation that caused the loss of Edward's leg and Alphonse's body. With copious amounts of blood from Edward's stump.

* The 2014 remake of ''Film/AboutLastNight'' opens with Bernie (Creator/KevinHart) discussing the one night stand he had the previous night an how great the girl was at blow jobs.

* Inverted for laughs in ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', where an opening scene features a jungle guide taking a fall that would be lethal... before he's shown bandaged up but safe, as the narrator assures us that this is actually a DenserAndWackier movie:

* ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners'' begins with an incredibly gory sequence where a Cyberpsycho makes quick and messy work of NCPD forces attempting to take him down, just before [=MaxTac=], the team that deals with cyberpsychos, shows up, disables him and puts him down. The braindance of this sequence also shows up in ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', in a tribute to the anime.

* Lucy's rampage through the lab in ''Manga/ElfenLied'' definitely qualifies, with bonus points for [[FanService taking off her straitjacket]] so she could be [[FullFrontalAssault completely naked for her killing spree]], except for the creepy helmet. Not to mention the nudity throughout the opening theme sequence in each episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Colon Movie Film For Theaters'' starts with some singing concessions cheerfully asking you not to expose yourself indecently. And then more food appears and belts out a violent heavy metal song threatening to kill you if you interrupt or redistribute the film, as part of a parody of "Let's All Go to the Lobby", a drive-in movie trailer.

* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'' opens with several students running and fighting their way through a crowd of zombies, with plenty of blood and gore resulting. Not surprising, given the subject matter. However, we're also treated to some gratuitous {{Gainaxing}} and {{panty shot}}s from the female lead, and, in the English dub at least, a couple [[PrecisionFStrike precision F strikes]], making it abundantly clear within the first two minutes that this show is not appropriate for younger viewers.
