  • There is a scene where there are dildos in an office.
  • During a scene where a a man is talking to two other men, a naked stripper is seen in the background and out of focus. she becomes out of focus and is clearly visible for roughly 15-30 seconds

Violence & Gore

  • A character tells another character a story about how a character killed one of his subordinates with a dildo (named by the character as, "a 10-inch rubber cock."). (The scene cuts between the guy who's telling the story, and the guy beating the other guy with said dildo. Not graphic.)
  • A woman use a loaded machine gun to shoot a man and fill a room full of bullets. She is slapped by another man right after.
  • A man kills another man with a thrown hatchet.
  • The violence, although graphic, is predominantly comedic in tone, played for ironic, over-the-top humor.
  • A massive gun battle takes place just offscreen. There is a lot of loud gunfire, and a witness gets a little blood splattered on his face. In two scenes, we see the aftermath, and there are many dead and extremely bloody bodies all over the room.
  • Two men are shot and killed (blood splatters), another has a hatchet thrown into his back, and a fourth man is then shot.
  • Several men are shot with an air gun, but not seriously hurt. Another man is passed out on the floor in front of them, and his toes are blown off (offscreen, but we see the bloody results a few times, as well as the man screaming in agony).
  • A man is sliced across the shoulder with a machete. He survives, but is very bloody. The same man is then shot to death with large machine gun by a woman shortly thereafter.
  • A man hits golf balls off another man's face, and hits a man who is tied up, gagged, and hanging upside down. The torturer then throws a large knife into the hanging man (not seen), and supposedly kills him (we see the torturer's mates look on in disgust as this happens).
  • A man runs out of a pub, and is on fire and screaming. We later see that a man spit liquor onto him and threw a match to light him on fire.
  • A man kills a man by repeatedly smashing his head with a car door (offscreen).
  • A man tortures a man and woman by putting pieces of paper between their toes and setting them on fire.
  • A man is shown torturing another by repeatedly dunking his head in water.
  • A man is tortured by having a tanning bed repeatedly slammed down on him; he is knocked out (offscreen), and presumably left in the bed.

Profanity

  • 2 uses of "cunt".
  • Many uses of the slang term "bollocks".
  • Men swap jokes which are obviously offensive, though the punchlines are not heard.
  • 130 uses of "fuck".
  • Some British swear words of varying intensity, such as "wanker", "bugger", "arse", "twat" and "sod".
  • Other frequent mild language such as "shit".
  • Three derogatory terms for homosexuals.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Three of the main characters are marijuana dealers, so several scenes take place in an apartment where they are growing weed and smoking it.
  • Eddie's dad, JD, owns the local bar where the boys hangout, so there are several scenes involving alcohol and them getting drunk/smoking.
  • The plot revolves around weed.
  • Harry is seen getting ready to snort a pile of cocaine, although he never actually does on-screen.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A lot of swearing, blood and gore. Not suited for minors.
  • Constant threats, beatings, etc.
  • While intense, the film is very lighthearted.
