ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL is a re-edited version of DEADPOOL 2, a US action adventure in which a superhero finds a new purpose when asked to rescue a young mutant under threat.

Violence Strong violence includes a man’s back being broken over a table, causing his body to distort. There are several crunchy bone breaks and stabbings, as well as the suggestion of a man being attacked with a chainsaw. Sex Crude humour includes a long sequence of bleeped language in which a man reels off the various ways and positions in which he would like to 'bleep' a particular actor, as well as the suggestion that the contents of a soap dispenser has been replaced with semen. There are crude sex references throughout, including to pornography, ball gags, sex toys and oral sex.

The film also contains infrequent strong language ('f**k'), multiple examples of bleeped or implied strong language (including 'motherfudger' and 'effed') and instances of mouthed strong language. There is also moderate bad language ('pussy', 'prick' and 'bitch') and rude gestures, alongside milder bad language (including 'shit', 'balls', 'crap', 'dick', 'son of a bitch', 'screwed' and 'pissing'). There are several verbal references to paedophilia, sex offenders and incest, and visual and verbal references to drug misuse.
