Sex & Nudity
-
- A worker gets confronted and asked if he was "porn hubbing" at work again not explicit and easy to miss.
Violence & Gore
-
- A girl gets bitten by her neighbors dog, bite marks on it. Little blood is seen.
- A car crash occurs (offscreen). Two people are implied to be killed by this, and a young girl (who survives) has wounds on her face and is shown injured after the crash.
- A man trying to disconnect M3GAN is caught by the robot and hanged from a string, seen choking with his eyes rolled up in the back of his head. He survives, but then an explosion occurs from a nearby gas tank.
- M3GAN rips the ear off of a kid after he bullies the main character. Somewhat barely gory.
- Director's Cut ("Unrated" Cut) contains the same violence as the PG-13 movie, but with more bloody imagery.
Profanity
-
- Theatrical version- 12 shits, 4 hells, and surprisingly there are 5 uses of "Jesus Christ". Also one use of "dick".
- There is one use of the f word by a child. Several uses of "sh--".
- Director's Cut ("Unrated" Cut) contains around a dozen F-bombs.
- The F-bomb is used very frequently and there were about 2 or 3 instances where a child also used profanity, unrated cut only.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- At Gemma's house, an alcohol cabinet is visible.
- Glasses of wine are briefly seen.
- After a successful demonstration of M3GAN's capabilities, the CEO pours a drink and hands it to Gemma.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The film deals with heavy topics including grief, digital technology encroaching on the intimacy of human life, bullying, corporate greed, death, neighbourhood feuds and explosions.
- There are some brief shots of bloody bodies and dying people which may frighten and disturb some viewers. This includes a boy with behavioral problems rolling down a hill and being struck by a car, two dead men in an elevator covered in blood, and other instances.
- There are some emotionally uncomfortable (but not shocking or scary) scenes, such as a woman fiddling on her smartphone instead of paying any attention to her niece, a neighbour loudly pounding on windows and shouting, and a man verbally bullying his employees.
- The death of a pet is mentioned once in a toy commercial, and later on numerous times after a woman's dog goes missing.
- One of the themes in the film is the oversaturation of digital technology in human life. Viewers see numerous smartphones, an AI home assistant, AI toys and other things that can be quite uncomfortable and intense. At one point a child whose parents are killed is ignored by her aunt, who is constantly playing with a smartphone. An AI home assistant turns on and frightens the child.
- A subplot involves a nasty woman who owns a vicious dog. The fight between neighbours, coupled with a child being bitten (drawing blood) and M3GAN having her neck bitten and dragged through the fence can be quite disturbing, especially when the police refuse to do anything about the dog and the bitten child develops a fever from the bite.
- A child breaks down sobbing over the loss of her parents and M3GAN comforts her. The scene is quite visceral and intense, although it is one of the film's more placid moments.
- A woman refuses to let her traumatized niece play with a toy (it's a "collector's item") until a social worker comes to visit. The scene is somewhat tense and uncomfortable.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A boys ear is torn (we see the skin stretching and ripping) while M3GAN makes threatening remarks and eggs him on to flee, before he begins to run away. He falls into the road to which he is hit by a car and killed, some blood is shown (mostly offscreen). A body bag is later shown being zipped up.
- M3GAN takes a paper cutter and stabs a man in the back with it. She then uses it to slice a man's throat, which is offscreen. We later see the two bodies in an elevator with blood everywhere. This is one of the most graphic scenes.
- In the final act, many harmful things happen to M3GAN including dismemberment, slashing, and more.
- A dog is seen being dragged off. M3GAN later mentions that the dog was killed and buried somewhere (the actual killing of / body of the dog is never depicted on-screen).
- Bruce and M3GAN fight. Bruce is beaten badly but not completely destroyed, while the body of M3GAN is torn apart, exposing wires, cutting her face and hair, and having a chip in her head destroyed by a girl jabbing it with a screwdriver.
- M3GAN takes a pen and threatens, in graphic detail, to stab the pen into a woman's cerebral cortex, rendering her disabled forever so that she will become dependent on M3GAN for everything while M3GAN raises her niece.
- In the unrated version, there are several differences. When M3GAN tears off Brandon's ear, you actually get a close-up at the ear being ripped off with lots of blood. When Brandon gets hit by a car, it shows a couple more frames, which you can see Brandon on the road actually getting hit. The elevator scene has blood splatter and Kurt's throat is slit, and when M3GAN sprays chemicals on Celia's face, you see flesh being dissolved.
- M3GAN stabs David in the chest with the blade of a paper cutter. Kurt is then stabbed in the neck by M3GAN (shown offscreen)
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Cady's parent's death is a main theme of the story which could be upsetting.
- Bruce (the motion capture robot) is punched by M3GAN and has his glass head cracked in, which is later shown with blood on it. The woman who designed it has Bruce thrown on top of her by M3GAN, pinning her down,
- Two employees (friends of the main character) are seen attacked by M3GAN. One is nearly hanged to death but is saved by his colleague. The two are then caught in an explosion and huddle together to protect themselves. The end scene reveals that both employees have survived.
- Multiple times throughout the film, M3gan becomes increasingly creepy, such as staring at people/objects, mimicking voices to cause harm, and moving in an unsettling way. This escalates in the second half of the film when people start to "harm" Cady, such as chasing a bully through the woods on her hands and feet, or dancing in a hallway before killing a person.
- One of the main characters, a child, has a prolonged emotional meltdown over being separated from M3GAN. There is a lot of crying and screaming. She also kicks someone, grabs a pair of scissors in a menacing way and punches someone.
