Sex & Nudity

  • In one scene, a character's hand ends up under a woman's dress, right on her crotch, and she tells him to let go. Not meant to be sexualized, more for comedic purposes, characters were in life or death situation.
  • The "Brief Nudity" Is a painted full frontal portrait of an unclothed woman. While not the direct focus of the scene it is quite obvious as it is close to 5ft tall hanging on a wall.
  • Also there is a somewhat immodest scene where a woman in leather boy-shorts is seen doing the splits and the words "Bikini tan line" come to mind.

Violence & Gore

  • There is a very lengthy fight scene toward the end of the film, but it's not too brutal, and no one is really hurt.
  • The main character is being chased by the dogs through the garden maze. The scene is rather comedic scene.
  • We see the skeleton remains of the ship crew. Not disturbing though.
  • The pirates are being attacked by the horde of bees. It is done somewhat hilarious/comical for some viewers.
  • The four men (seen in silhouette) being beaten to death by unseen assailants. Later, the pictures of each dead men are seen. Brief but it is disturbing.
