Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- A woman's bare buttocks are seen as she runs down a hallway naked. Very brief.
- A sex scene is shown for about 6 seconds, in which both characters are fully nude, but the camera is mostly on the mans backside. Hard thrusting is shown, but isn't graphic or lengthy, as it is interrupted quickly.
- A few non-graphic and very brief sexual remarks and said.
- Two men and two women have sex in the same motel room. No nudity is visible, though thrusting is shown. The scene only lasts about 10 seconds.
- A fully nude man is thrown over the couch (genitalia and buttocks are shown.)
Violence & Gore
-
- Though much of the violence occurs offscreen, it is still often shocking and sudden. Most of the victims are innocent.
- Almost all of the violence is through shootings some of them are even oddly funny due do the unrealistic amounts of blood that come out.
- The woodchipper scene is very brutal and horrific, deviating from the comedy shown in the rest of the movie. What makes it even more disturbing is that it's based on a real event.
- A couple are killed after witnessing the cop shooting. After crashing their car, the man is shot in the back while trying to run away (no blood is shown). The woman is then shot offscreen while pinned in the car.
- While having sex, a man is attacked violently. He is kicked on the floor, and then whipped and strangled with a belt. During this attack, a man is slammed against a wall to the point of unconsciousness, and a woman is kicked in the back.
- A man is shot in the back of the leg while running from the cops, with a little blood on the wound.
Profanity
-
- Almost all uses of 'fuck' are said by Steve Buscemi's character, one by a teen boy.
- 73 uses of "fuck", 5 uses of "goddamn", 7 uses of "shit", 14 uses of "Damn", 2 uses of "son of a bitch", 1 use of "Hell", 4 uses of "ass" (3 used with hole).
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some random characters are seen drinking in pubs/bars. One of the kidnappers smokes many cigarettes.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Many intense scenes. One involves a home invasion and kidnapping.
- Some intense scenes include police search of suspicious criminals, a brief car chase, running from peril, shootings, and dangerous encounters.
- The two thugs may frighten viewers, especially one who is heavily implied to be a psychopath; he rarely talks and does almost all the killing with relative pleasure and no hesitation.
- Although there is a good amount offbeat comedy with the exaggerated Minnesotan accents and some situations the characters get into, the violence is played seriously and never meant to be funny.
- Most of the movie is mildly/moderately intense, but the woodchipper scene by itself is severe due to how disturbing and explicit it is, almost to a horror/slasher level
- The wood chipper scene is the most graphic in the movie.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- One man approaches another with an axe and takes a swing, though the impact is not onscreen, rather implied. Later the same man is shown clearly putting the others body through a woodchipper. Quite graphic.
- A police officer is shot in the top of the head and buckets of blood spew from the wound, with some of it getting on the face of another man.
- A man is shot in the chest, with the feathers of his down coat flying everywhere; the second man then shoots his attacker in the cheek. The bullet grazes the first man, we don't see the impact, but when he covers the wound with his hand, his hand becomes covered in blood. The first then shoots the second man multiple times both on and offscreen. As the first man drives away, he shoots a gate attendant offscreen, though the aftermath of it is briefly shown with a little blood on the wall. The wounded man's cheek and hands are covered in blood throughout the rest of the movie.
- A woman who has been tied up in a chair is killed (offscreen); blood splatter is shown on a wall.
- A man is killed with an axe offscreen. Later, a police officer finds the killer feeding the man's remains into a wood chipper, with blood and some flesh covering the snow on the left side of the screen. The person who killed the man can be briefly seen pushing the man's dismembered leg deeper into the wood chipper. This is very bloody.
