Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- There are a few sexual references.
- While receiving a massage, the top of a man's hairy bare bottom is visible, but is not the focal point.
- Partial nudity of the new wife (topless) during the wedding night, showing her breasts for a few seconds.
- A clothed man and woman thrust and moan while having sex standing up. They are interrupted briefly when a man knocks on the door, but then resume. No nudity.
- A woman makes a hand gesture implying her husband has a large penis; this may fly over some viewers' heads.
Violence & Gore
-
- The famous "mattresses" montage sequence features various newspapers with real-life photographs of killings of gangsters and mobsters. Although they a quite brief and relatively unimportant to the plot, the idea that those are real events and not pictures taken for the film might be a bit disturbing.
- The film opens on a man describing a violent attack on his daughter and the injuries she received.
- Sonny Corleone beats up his sisters man Carlo in the street very violent. He even bites his hand and throws a trash can over him.
- Film for all.
- A man is shot four times by another man through a glass door. A bullet wound and later some blood on the glass is briefly seen. A man and woman in bed are shot to death with machine guns and blood spraying, bullet wounds are visible. The scene lasts a couple seconds.
- A man is stabbed in the hand and then garroted, a trickle of blood is seen on his hand. Lasts for roughly 18 seconds as he struggles before the scene cuts.
- A man is shot in the eye, he slumps down dead. We see his glasses crack, and blood streaming for a second. Not too graphic.
- A man shoots two men, one in the head (we briefly see a bullet hole and red mist shooting from it), the other in the neck, then head with blood dripping from the bullet hole for two seconds.
- A man is shot five times in the back (from a distance), a dripping bullet wound is shown for a second or two.
- A man is shot dead in a car (not visible), a bullet hole in his head with blood trickling down is then seen for several seconds.
- Three men are shot by a policeman imposter; they die. Some blood is around two of the bodies briefly and a bullet wound dripping blood is shown on a man's back for two seconds.
- A man is punched once. He is then seen with a rather swollen face and subtle black eye.
Profanity
-
- Two uses of the word "Vaff*nculo", Italian for "F*ck you".
- 7 uses of "goddamn".
- Finnochio (italian for "faggot") is used.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some of the movie's plot is centered around drugs and drug dealing. But no actual activity is shown with drugs
- The issue of child drug use is briefly discussed, and the Commission (the Sicilian American Mafia's top organization) decides not to deal in drugs near schools to avoid it.
- Some casual smoking and drinking.
- A minor theme of drug trafficking is present in the movie. It is presented as a lucrative, but dirty, dangerous business.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The depiction of domestic violence in the movie is very intense and can be upsetting.
- The overall tone of the movie is very dark and depressing, especially during the second half.
- Multiple major character deaths that may upset some viewers.
- Although almost every character is a criminal some deaths may still be emotional.
- Some of the assassinations are intense, the tollbooth and revolving-door shootings especially.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A woman who is mad at her husband destroys some of the plates in her house, he hits her with his belt a couple of times and eventually corners her in the bathroom, and beats her up offscreen. Nothing is shown, but you can hear her scream and cry.
- A man gets into a brutal fistfight while children are watching. One of the opponents brutally bashes and kicks the other guy until he's unconscious. He also bites his hand, throws a garbage can over him and finishes by kicking him in the face.
- A man dies of a heart attack. This can be upsetting for some.
- There is a montage where many people are killed with some blood shown. Not too graphic but somewhat disturbing.
- A car is blown up with a woman inside. There is no gore but pieces of clothing and a leg can be seen. Not overly graphic.
- A man is brutally gunned down by machine guns. Some blood sprays, he is screaming throughout the sequence. At the end his whole body is littered with bullet holes and there's some blood on him. He is then shot a few more times while he's dead. Some blood is shown but not too graphic.
- A man wakes up in his bed to find blood on his bedsheets. He begins to panic, removes his quilt and sees the severed head of a horse in his bed, causing him to scream in horror. Blood completely soaks the bed and the pyjamas he is wearing.
- A man is strangled to death in a car, lasts for thirteen seconds. He kicks through the windshield while struggling.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Apollonia, a Sicilian girl who has married Sicilian American mafioso Michael, is blown up in a car bombing, intended for her husband, who screams attempting to stop her from getting inside the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 as he realises the threat. As he shouts her name, the car explodes with a loud bang. This scene is shocking and very sad, especially as she had nothing at all to do with the Mob or her husband's business.
- Sonny's death and his father's reaction are intense and sad.
- One very famous scene has a character waking up to find his bed full of blood and, while removing the sheet, he discovers the severed head of his stallion (which was an actual horse's head). He screams repeatedly in a very dramatic sequence.
