He confirms that he is classified R before the reading of the first sequences. He confirms that the film will be R-rated before the pictures move the point forward. In the footage, the brutal Kraven slaughters men in a truck, including biting off pieces of their faces and throwing them from his mouth towards the camera. He pulls out his classic lion costume, showing off his mane. He battles many men, slaughtering them in a series of bloody events.
