Mild violence
There is mild violence in the film - no serious injuries are shown and it's not intense. In one scene, we see a group fight between elves and humans. In another scene, we see elves throwing a character through a window. Some scenes include characters threatening others with dangerous weapons like a baseball bat, a heavy pipe, and a chainsaw.
Although these scenes sound violent, they are quite low level and are not intense. These scenes often include humour, fantastical themes, and no serious injuries – making these scenes to be less impactful.
