An elderly woman is seen smoking in some scenes.

-A room that is lit begins to become dark, and is bordered with what looks like dark shadows of spirits. A young man is seen melting from his human form into a pile of green slime. The scene is not prolonged, but may frighten some viewers.

-In an illusion, a room is suddenly filled with water. The characters are then seen floating in a sky, and tiny blue human-like spirits (with no faces) hold hands and dance around the characters. Then, one of the human characters is seen being transformed into a bird, not of his will, and slightly agonizes over the transformation. He then leaps up grabbing the other characters with him and breaks out of a window. The dancing spirits chant and surround the characters, and that may scare younger viewers.

-A ship is seen with flames coming out, and is presumed to have been shot down. Men jump into the harbor to escape the flames. Then, in the harbor, a few bombs fall out of the sky into the water. People run in a panic, but nobody is seen harmed.

-A few scenes are shown where a big bird creature with a human head fights off creature who are flying, with scenes of fire in towns seen.

-One scene of missiles hitting the ground and destroying a house is seen.
