Sex & Nudity

  • Two characters are seen taking a shower together. They kiss and touch each other, both are topless, but the female's nipples are not shown.
  • The same characters are seen having graphic sex on the bed, with movement and loud moaning, the female being on top and her nipples and part of her bare backs ide are briefly shown. Later on she is seen naked through an infra red telescope: her image is digitized and coloured blobs, but her pubic region is clearly outlined. A man who watches them thru said telescope makes vulgar and profane sexual comments directed at Jill. This whole segment lasts for about 3 minutes.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman turns the TV on and flicks through several channels, in which brief violent shots are shown, including: a man being shot in a very grainy black and white image, a man whipped in what looks like an S&M scene, a scene from a slaughterhouse, and a shot of a man hung upside down by his feet and his head submerged in a large tub of water.
  • A robotic hand stabs a character in the neck with a couple of syringes protruding from the tips of its fingers. The corpse is seen later with a few blood splats on his face.
  • The robot inserts its fingers into a person's eyes and gouges them (rather graphic). The robot then bores a drill through the victim's stomach which exits out of his back (graphic and bloody), blood is seen splattering on nearby objects. The person is dropped to the ground, and there is a close-up of the face with bloody wounds on it.
  • A character is knocked backwards.
  • A character cuts his own arm with a large knife. The first cut is seen from a distance, while the next one is a close-up and the knife cuts deeper. The arm is also seen later on with extensive cuts and covered in cockroaches. Extremely graphic.
  • A woman hits a man on the face with a baseball bat.
  • A man is cut in half by a mechanical door, the upper half of his severed torso is seen. While he is dying he shoots someone else in the forehead, blood splatters, and the bullet wound is seen.
  • A dead man is dragged across the floor by the robot, which cuts him in half with a chainsaw: there is a close-up of the two halves of his body seperating.
  • A character is thrown through a shower's glass door, and there is a closeup of the bloody wounds.
  • The final shots of the film are of a blood stained shower's cubical floor.

Profanity

  • Some uses of profanity and bad language, from mild to strong. One character utters monologue that is incredibly dirty and vulgar.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A woman is seen smoking what looks like cigarettes: it is established later on that it is cannabis.

  • The scenes where the robot attacks people can be frightening to young or sensitive people.
