Gratuitous 

Gratuitous means to be given something, or to receive something, without payment or obligation.

It can also mean an action carried out or executed without cause, or an unjustified action.

It is also used in Law, where something is made or given, without receiving any value in return, as in a 'gratuitous agreement'.
He said that he would make the table completely free of charge, and we shook hands on the deal. We made a gratuitous agreement.

There is never any call for such gratuitous violence.

A disease capable only of infecting Hollywood movie producers. Symptoms include uncontrollable greed and a complete lack of creativity. Once the illness has taken hold, the producer will eventually unload a steaming pile of crap which he will then box up and label with the name of a successful movie plus the number "2" after it. The load of crap will be then be sold to the idiot audience, who gladly forks over money to take a peek at what's in the box, based solely on the name on the label.
