Does "rip someone's head off" mean really take the head off? Isn't it too cruel?

No, "rip someone's head off" does not literally refer to removing someone's head. The phrase "rip someone's head off" refers to initiating violence towards someone, for instance, starting a fight. I do not recommend using this term because of its violent nature.
