Assassin’s Creed has extended scenes of intense action violence, some of which is brutal. These scenes include executions and also the murder of one parent by the other parent, which is witnessed by their child. The movie shows minimal blood and gore, but it uses sound effects to suggest violent and gruesome acts. Here are some examples of this movie’s violence:

• In one ceremonial scene a man places his fingers in an elaborate wooden cylinder. A second man triggers the device, and we hear the sounds of blades slicing and the man grunting in pain. Following this, gauntlets with hidden blades are placed over the man’s severed fingers. There’s no blood and gore.
• In an execution scene a condemned prisoner, whose hands and feet are chained, is led into a room and strapped to a table. The room has a viewing window, and people are watching. Tubes are inserted into his arms and a machine sends liquids down the tubes. The man looks panicked and starts to hyperventilate, but then he becomes quiet and his eyes close.
• During a medieval battle scene, balls of fire fly through the air and explode on the ground. Soldiers on foot and on horseback wield swords, crash into each other and knock each other down. They fire flaming arrows. A large threatening man grabs a woman and forces her to her knees. A young boy is dragged out of a hole in the ground and locked in a cage on a wagon.
• Several flashbacks show a 12-year-old boy witnessing his father murdering the boy’s mother. In one flashback, the boy walks into the kitchen of his home to find his mother sitting dead at the kitchen table with her eyes open and a pool of blood beneath her chair. Another flashback shows the boy witnessing his father dressed as an Assassin standing next to his mother holding a knife to his mother’s neck. A further flashback shows the same scene, but this time the mother grabs hold of his father’s hand and pushes the blade into her own neck.
• Several scenes show brutal fights between Assassins and Templars, all of whom use various weapons. The fighters slash and stab each other and fire arrows at each other. They use swords, kick each other, and break other fighters’ necks.
• An Assassin holds a knife to a man’s throat while another man holds a knife to a woman’s throat. Each looks at the other for several seconds before the Assassin slashes the man’s neck while the other man immediately slashes the woman’s. The Assassin watches the woman die.
• In one of the movie’s more brutal scenes an Assassin and a Templar fight using medieval weapons and fighting techniques. The Assassin repeatedly stabs the Templar in the stomach, chest and neck until the wounded man collapses to the ground. There’s no blood and gore shown, but we hear the sound of blood splashing out of the man’s body as he hits the ground.
• One scene set in the 15^th century shows two men and a woman being led outside by hooded executioners, who chain the prisoners to stakes in the ground as an angry crowd jeers at them. Wood is piled at the base of the stakes and oil poured over the wood. The wood is set on fire and flames leap up to the height of the chained prisoners. One of the prisoners struggles and breaks free of his chains and then uses the chains to swing at a guard’s head. He then uses a sword to stab and slash at several other guards and throws the sword at a guard, impaling him. He hits an executioner on the back of the head with an axe. The freed man releases the other two prisoners and they escape before a cauldron of oil bursts into flames, engulfing an executioner. The three prisoners escape across the rooftops, stabbing, slashing, kicking and punching their way through dozens of guards. Numerous guards fall to their deaths. One guard is pinned to a railing by an arrow through his hand, and another man has his head repeatedly slammed into a stone wall.
