So, for your unbridled pleasure, here’s the not-truly-at-all wonderful Soldier Of Fortune: Payback.

An excerpt:

Tyres hover in midair, vehicles float two inches above the ground, severed limbs spin in a crazed dance above their former host. It’s laugh-out-loud terrible, interrupting any chance you might have of being offended.
