Sex & Nudity
-
- A man is seen in his room in his underwear. A very quick glimpse of his penis can be seen before he sits down and the camera moves.
- A nude body is seen hanging from a tree. Male genitals are clearly seen and visible for a couple seconds.
- Three Playboy Bunnies dances suggestively on a stage, in tight clothing with exposed cleavage. Later, soldiers in a helicopter are stripping the same bunnies. Bare breasts are visible, and sex is implied.
- Male nudity (never explicit or provocative), a brief instance of female breast nudity, posters of woman posing in provocative ways, sometimes with breasts exposed (very brief), and a scene of women dancing sexual as entertainment for the troops, no nudity and not very graphic.
- Multiple scenes of male genital nudity, including main character at the beginning, a corpse in a rolled over coffin, a soldier running and two corpses hanging. No female genital nudity but two women expose their breasts; not overly graphic.
- In the Workprint, Willard's penis is shown during his drunken meltdown, but due to the VHS quality, it is barely seen, but it is very clear he is fully naked.
- A woman removes her clothes and is seen naked from the waist up for almost 2 minutes. Not sexual but definitely still erotic.
- A soldier on a boat is bottomless and we see his buttocks
- There are several posters of nude women wearing bikinis and exposing bare breasts.
- There are some sexual references among the soldiers.
Violence & Gore
-
- A soldier's leg is shot. We see a lot of blood around the wound.
- Civilians and soldiers alike are gunned down and killed.
- A man punches a mirror and cuts his hand. Blood is shown on his torso as well as on the bed sheets.
- There are bloody dead bodies shown throughout.
- The violence in this movie is more brutal than violent.
- Not as gory or violent as other war films such as Saving Private Ryan.
- This film is surprisingly not very violent, pretty much moderate.
- The violence is much more disturbing than it is graphic however this makes the combat more impactful.
- Multiple heads are seen in the background, as well as skulls on spikes.
- Intense war violence throughout. Accurately depicts wartime during the late 60's
- A buffalo is seen getting beheaded
- A man is beheaded. It's all offscreen, but we briefly see his head after it is removed.
Profanity
-
- "Nigga" is used by black soldiers
- Very strong language, including abuse of "Christ" and "Jesus."
- One use of 'cunt'
- "Fuck" is used 86 times. "Shit" is used a few time, as well as uses of words referring to the male genitals, a-words, and uses of God damn/God damnit, and other less swear words.
- Jim Morrison's "The End" uses "fuck" multiple times in one part of it; this part can be heard in one scene of the film.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Marijuana is smoked a couple of times.
- Cigarettes are smoked consistently throughout the movie.
- Alcohol is used both abusively and socially used throughout the movie.
- It is implied a soldier is on acid in one scene
- Early in the movie, a soldier is seen drinking himself to limit while waiting for his assignment.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Colonel Kurtz is an ex commando and he creates his own little kingdom of savage villagers. He's developed a philosophy that savage killing is genius and necessary.
- This film is very dark and disturbing.
- The lighter and/or the semi-comedic scenes within the film add a little bit of relief between intense scenes but other than that the entire film is incredibly thought provoking.
- Rated R for disturbing violent images, language, sexual content and some drug use.
- The combat scenes may be intense to some
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Colonel Kurtz's kingdom is littered with dead bodies of men that he ordered to be executed.
- Captain Willard kills Colonel Kurtz with a machete. There is some blood on the walls and on his body.
- A young man is gunned down by the Vietcong
- Chief is impaled by a spear.
- A group of civilians are gunned down by soldiers.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The final killing scene is very intense, as we see a (real) buffalo's head being cut off, as the main character kills another man with a machete.
- A scene where a boy is gunned to death on the boat is extremely emotional. A few of the men in the boat cry harshly in reaction to his death which makes it even more hard to watch.
