The original script for the movie included a scene where Johnson bites a man's eye out of his skull and spits it out, but the actor says it was just too graphic for the Motion Picture Association of America, who wouldn't let them keep it. While a rating hasn't been confirmed for the movie, such a gruesome scene would take Hobbs & Shaw well above the PG-13 category that the rest of the Fast & Furious franchise sits in, and so that specific moment was edited out of the extended fight scene.
"A lil’ behind the scenes taste of the HOBBS & SHAW savagery that takes place in SAMOA," Johnson wrote in the caption for the post. "This bludgeoning will be in the film, but unfortunately the scene where I bite the bad guy’s eye out and spit it on the dirt didn’t make it. MPAA ratings board forbid us to show it because it was too violent. True story. Plus, anytime you see a Samoan in a fight wearing their Lava Lava (traditional fabric I’m wearing around my waist) you know the other person is getting fucked up."
