Sex & Nudity

  • A woman calls in another from a different room and they begin to start kissing and one of them proceeds to perform oral sex on the other behind a counter(no nudity). Lasts about 36 seconds.
  • A topless woman on a couch with three other people, her bare breasts are visible. Lasts nine seconds.
  • A woman who works at a brothel offers a service called "Pussy Eating".
  • A woman is seen soaked and her nipples can be seen from her wet see-through top.
  • There are ties in the film that have numerous nude women stitched into them. They are quite hard to make out though.
  • There is a scene in which a man and a woman have sex. Some thrusting is noted, but no sensitive areas are seen during this sequence. Before they begin, she comes out of the room naked, with a minute of full frontal nudity, and proceeds to tell the man to "have her as if she was a Manson girl". The scene is quite lengthy, but the majority of female nudity is limited to the upper body.
  • Masturbation and oral sex are implied in a few other scenes.

Violence & Gore

  • Bigfoot beats up Doc in a rough manner, this scene is shown more than once and is in slow motion.
  • A police officer pushes Doc rather violently, causing him to fall on the road.
  • A man is comically knocked out after being hit from behind. In the next scene, he wakes up next to a dead body with a moderately graphic bullet in hole in its head. Lots of blood is beneath his head.
