* Despite being given more freedom in slicing people up than in the animated adaptations, [[Wolverine]]'s rampages in the ''[[X-Men (film)|X Men]]'' movies were conspicuously devoid of blood. Perhaps most notable is an instance in the first movie where he stabs Rogue in the chest. We're given a very clear close-up of the exit wounds on her back, but even those don't have any blood coming from them. What's more, when she turns around, we see that her shirt isn't even torn. Perhaps absorbing his healing ability extended to her nightshirt? |

** Apart from the odd soldier slumped against a wall with blood in his mouth. Bloody faces and minor wounds appear occasionally in the films, but serious injuries and battles are always bloodless. However, Peter Jackson, delighting in carnage, has gotten around this principle as much as possible, and there are plenty of gruesome sights such as disembodied body parts and rotten-looking ghosts. |

* In the first of the "in the ring" wrestling matches in the lucha film ''[[Santo vs. La Hija De Frankestein]]'' ("Santo vs Frankenstein's Daughter"), the TV announcer talks about how much Santo is bleeding from his opponent's illegal hits. Uh, what blood? (This may have been a case of [[Stock Footage]], as later in the film both Truxon and Ursus are shown bleeding.) |
