Sex & Nudity

  • A woman rides a man in forward cowgirl while she giggles and moans in pleasure. We see her fully nude from the front in 3 brief cuts, about a second each. Careful posing conceals their coupled genital areas.
  • A woman is in the shower with a man, he caressing her body. She is wearing a bikini, and he is fully dressed, but the swimwear's cloth is close enough to her skin tone to imply that she is nude.
  • A man watches a woman in a lingerie store trying on panties through a gap in the changing booth curtain. She is apparently unaware of his voyeuristic activity.
  • A man watches a pornographic video on a television. We see multiple women in lingerie, a few with bared breasts, and one wearing nothing but a belt. This latter is shown from the back, so we see her bared breasts, back, and buttocks We hear sexual intercourse in progress, but all action is off-screen; the explicit action is limited to kissing, caressing, and clothing removal.
  • A man visits a pornographic movie studio whose back-office walls are covered with posters advertising their productions. These mainly show women in lingerie, though there is some implied nudity.
  • We visit the set of a pornographic movie during filming, but there is no explicit sex, only foreplay and off-screen sounds of sexual intercourse, in the background. Several of the movie-within-a-movie actors are wearing scanty clothing, the most extreme of which is a woman wearing backless leather pants over a thong.
  • A porn actress loudly orgasms during a sex scene in a porn film shoot. After the director yells "cut," he asks his cinematographer if he "got the cumshot," implying the porn actress' male partner already came off camera.
  • A man spies voyeuristically on a woman in her bedroom using a telescope. She dances in a sheer unbuttoned pajama top, panties, stockings, and high heels. We see her bare breasts several times. She rubs at her crotch a few times after laying down on the bed; in later dialogue, it is implied that she continued masturbating, but we don't see this on-screen.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is attacked by a dog.
  • A woman is hit in the back of the head.
  • A woman wakes to find a man robbing her bedroom safe. They exchange angry words, and the man slaps her across the face hard enough to send her falling onto the bed.
  • Blood drips onto a woman's breasts after she is bitten by a vampire in a spoof movie.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters smoke throughout.
  • A man slugs back two double whiskeys in quick succession, then pours himself a third. Other bar patrons are seen smoking in the background. Two men pour a drink in a private home over a conversation. A man drinks directly out of a whiskey bottle while watching television. A man drinks beer from a can while watching television in bed. A man drinks tequila at a bar.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some of the scenes are very intense, but hardly graphic aside from one.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The whole movie revolves around sex, mainly voyeurism, Hollywood mature audience movie production, and hardcore pornography. There is no explicit sex shown in the movie, but it is implied throughout. The closest we get to anything explicit is a man caressing a woman's breasts and a woman implicitly masturbating through her panties.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is knocked into a raging river and is presumably killed.
  • A man and a woman are nearly buried alive.
  • A woman is strangled by a man using a telephone cord. She fights off her attacker, but he later runs a huge electric wood auger (drill) completely through her torso and through the floor beneath her, pinning her in place, dead. There is blood in several parts of the scene, including pouring through the hole in the ceiling below the room where the woman was murdered. The scene is presented in an fashion meant to create more terror than the basic act would otherwise cause.
