A man is crushed by a falling bookshelf and pinned down right before the building explodes. (Implied death.)
Several men are shot with arrows, one man is shot in the chest with an impaled arrow and another man gets impaled through the side of the neck and he falls.
A man fires a projectile knife blade at another man holding a gun. We briefly see the impact through the man's neck with a stream of blood.
Frank takes the large blade from a paper cutter (the size of a machete) and then slams it down onto and into a goon's head, killing him.
There is a prolonged sequence where two men fight. Lots of punching and throwing. Both are stabbed at least once and one of them is splashed in the face with a pot of boiling water. He is then tackled by the other man down a staircase.
A man fires his shotgun at The Punisher a few times but The Punisher was wearing Kevlar armor. The man is punched with a shotgun and held to a wall. He gets his arm twisted and stabbed through the hand to his thigh and then up the chin. Some blood is seen around and on the knife.
Various goons kick one man who's lying on the floor, followed by the leader grabbing him by the hair on the back of his head and ready to kill him as a punishment.
A crime boss suddenly shoots one of his own men in the leg, tries getting his way out by speaking and then shoots the man in shoulder and then kills him with a third shot (no blood) and drops the gun on him.
A man fires his shotgun into the goon's truck several times (causing it to crash), but he's shot and wounded several times. A young man then kicks him in the face and then punches him causing his eye to be swollen shut. Another kick to the back follows and the man is then kicked back through a railing that breaks. He's shot in the chest and the goons then pour gasoline all over the dock and ignite it. The wounded man tries to get out of the way, but the resultant explosion knocks him through the air and into the water.
We see that The Punisher has a man tied upside down from the ceiling and he grabs him by his hair. He then lights a blow torch and talks about what it will do to the guy's skin upon touching it (saying it will eventually feel cold). He then sears a steak that the man can't see and then places a popsicle on the man's bare back to make him think his flesh is being torched (and to make him talk).

Misuses of "Christ" and "Jesus."
There is 12 "f" words (2 used sexually as is the term "do it"), 8 "s" words, 1 slang term using male genitals ("pr*ck"), 3 hells, 2 asses, 2 S.O.B.s (and another incomplete one), 1 damn and 2 uses each of "G-damn," "God," "Jesus" and "Oh my God."
A song in the closing credits sounded like it had at least 1 use of the "f" word in it, while other lyrics couldn't be understood (thus the opportunity of them possibly containing other potentially objectionable material).
