There's a scene where there's a cock fight, and though the information is scarce, I found an old article mentioning that that was in fact a real cock fight. It looked like the "losing" rooster died afterwards.
Not cool, moviemakers.

There's a cock-fighting scene, which I unfortunately think was actually a real one.
The rooster who "lost" dies in a man's arms afterwards. Would not recommend watching that scene.

As described. Tod chases and forces himself on Faye, but Faye does survive the attack.

Homer finally snaps when Adore won't stop hurling insults and throws a stone at him, so he chases the kid around and stomps him to death.
