Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- A few scenes where people kiss. Timestamps :- 1:11:10 to 1:11:20.
Violence & Gore
-
- Characters are shot/impaled with swords, blades and sci-fi weapons with moderate visual representation of post-action blood detail.
- A character poisons a room full of people. Deaths occur offscreen but audible.
- The characters fight almost exclusively using close combat knives and swords, so there are several fight scenes (never shown up close but in wide angle)
- Many people are drained of blood so that the Sardaukhar Army may receive blood marks on their forehead as a ceremony into their army.
- A character is impaled by a dart which in turn paralyzes him.
- A bit of blood and a injury detail is seen including a bloody hand and knife
- A character is slapped and later gut punched brutally when tied up.
- Scenes include close-quarters combat with bladed weapons, including slashes and stabbings resulting in brief sight of blood. There is occasional focus on bloodied blades, or blood on hands and clothes. Other sequences depict large scale attacks in which ships and buildings are bombed and explode, and a number of deaths caused by toxic gas
- A character grabs another man by the hair and hoists him up as he brings up a blade to his neck and slices. The camera cuts away but you hear the squelch of the blade decapitating the man. Next shot shows the character briefly holding the severed head before dropping it, but no gore is shown as it is blocked by a table in the foreground.
- There are a fair amount of violent scenes in this movie but compared to its sequel "Dune: Part Two" what we see is very tame.
- While there are not an overwhelming amount of violent scenes (unlike Dune: Part Two) the action sequences and deaths can be intense.
Profanity
-
- 3 uses of damn, 1 use of hell, 1 use of ass, 1 use of shit
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There is a fictional hallucinogenic drug named "spice" that plays a pivotal role in the films plot, but it is not shown being abused.
- Mild alcohol use.
- The fremen have blue eyes due to spice addiction. Paul breathes in the spice melange in one scene.
- A man is implied to be drugged.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There are several intense battle scenes
- Two characters fight to the death in a knife duel
- Two characters fight for their survival by using their powers to make their captors kill each other.
- We see a mostly silhouetted creature that looks like it's composed of various human parts, and crawls around on several human arms. We don't see it very well but it is disturbing.
- Characters are swallowed by a massive frightening sandworm.
- Scenes of threat include characters being pursued and attempting to escape giant worms, flying through a sandstorm, fleeing from explosions, being held at knife point, and being targeted by remote devices that inject poison. A character is left paralysed by poison, and his body is seen naked in a chair as his enemies mock him
- "The Voice" that is used by the Bene Gesserit is intense and frightening.
- The sandworms are quite frightening, appearing as extremely gruesome and gigantic leech-like creatures that borrow beneath the dunes of Arrakis, and have lamprey-like mouths with thousands of baleen-like structures, resembling human eyes seen up-close.
- A military planet is shown with soldiers being anointed with blood that is drawn from a pyramid covered in human bodies.
Spoilers

- As they hold a woman hostage, men imply that they might rape her.
- A paralysed man is forced to lay naked at a table. Bare legs and torso are shown, but genitalia is obscured.
