Unlike the Romance of the Three Kingdoms example above, the victims are explicitly described as bleeding from their eyes, and the state of their private orifices is not discussed as it is very difficult to examine a formidable warrior in a [[TheBerserker berserker rage]] brandishing a {{BFS}} that closely.

* Implied to be the case in ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' with Marni bleeding from the eyes to start with.
