Parents guide

A man and woman are seen having sex briefly. No nudity at all, all we see is thrusting, and gasping. They're also very sweaty. The woman is later seen in her underwear. All you see are faces and a bit of shoulder.

A woman takes off her dress. You see her bare backside and the side of one of her breasts (nipple included). This is less than a second. Lots of lead up so it's easy to look away for.

Two scenes which imply oral sex; neither are graphic, and both scenes cut away before anything happens.

Women wear dresses that show a little bit of cleavage. Not graphic.

When a woman is changing clothes you see her butt very briefly.

Several dead bodies are shown with bloody bullet holes. They are surrounded by pools of blood.

A dead body has a very bloody chest bullet wound.

A pimp is beaten, blood on the nose and mouth. A few bloodless punches and pushes.

A woman is shot in the head three times. The perpetrator tilts her head to the side and blood is shown coming out of her mouth.

A man is shown getting beaten up in an alley. Most of it is offscreen.

A dead couple has very bloody bullet wounds.

Two cops shoot a man and we see blood spurts. Blood is shown pooling out onto the side of the road.

A man gets briefly injured in a car bombing. Some blood is on his face and his arm is completely burned.

A man's hand is slammed viciously with a hammer to the point where it bleeds profusely from a bone fragment piercing through.

Two men are shot in the head, blood leaks from the back of their heads.

Heavy profanity throughout in pretty much every scene.

Some anti-Semitic language.

Pretty much Constant profanities throughout including 400+ fucks, and over 100 shits.

422 uses of "fuck".

Cocaine is snorted multiple times, including one case in the presence of a child.

Alcohol is occasionally consumed.

People smoke and drink in bars on several occasions.

Frequent cigarette smoking. Robert De Niro's character smokes in nearly every scene he is in.

The vice scene is one of the most graphic scenes in the film, as a man's head is forced into a vice and is tightened until his eye pops out, then he begs for death. What makes it even more disturbing is that its based on a real event.

A rather disturbing scene is when a man finds his daughter tied up to a bed and locked in her room.

This is easily Martin Scorsese's most violent film, with the violence being extremely realistic and graphic.

Nicky Santoro's explosive personality may be intense which may be disturbing because we are in a massive hold in tension. He threatens a bank worker that he is going to kill him, the vice scene, and Lester's beatdown.
