  • The bruised body of Lorraine in her bath combined with the purple Color Wash can be unsettling to watch. One wonders how she can still even move.
    • The film's aversion of Beauty Is Never Tarnished was originally going to go much further than what appeared in the final cut. Word of God states that early injury makeup tests for Lorraine had her so badly beaten that the whites of her eyes were no longer visible (though whether that was intended to be due to swelling or bleeding inside her eyes is unknown).
  • Bremovych is one scary, sadistic and ruthless KGB lieutenant. He brutally beats one of Percival's punk comrades to death in front of his own hapless friends with his own skateboard while his boombox plays the upbeat West German pop music hit "99 Luftballons" by Nena.
  • Lorraine stabbing the tall blond KGB agent in the cheek with her keyring during the fight at the movie theater. What's particularly gruesome is that the guy doesn't immediately pull it out of his cheek. He eventually does after the fight, leaving a hole in his face. And the guy seems to just ignore pain throughout.
