* BloodierAndGorier: Hoo boy. Unlike it's predecessor which at most featured a streak of blood on a stone wall, this movie does NOT skimp on the gore; among other things a man's face is badly burned and heavily wounded, said man falls at least 30 stories and splatters on the title car, another man gets shot point-blank in the head and a piece of it goes flying off complete with blood spray, two heads are crushed resulting in blood splattering on the camera at least twice, one throat-slitting with plenty of blood, a man slowly crawling from a car wreck with a compound fracture and a trail of blood behind him crushed from the groin up during which his ribcage is crushed and blood sprays from his torso and his head also follows suit... all well before the one-hour mark!
