Sex & Nudity

Full frontal female and male nudity throughout

Implied sex between three woman

mild rape sequence- womans blouse is torn open and she can be seen nude from the waist down for a split second. The rape is not meant to be horrific but rather perverse, as the woman seems to enjoy it.

Graphic animal sexuality

In an illusion, a woman seems to have her face covered in ones ejaculation

In a training simulator, many children (mostly boys but at least one girl) are seen running around naked wearing silver hats. Full frontal nudity is visible by both sexes.

A man is chased by a group of about twenty or thirty naked boys. Their Buttocks are clearly visible but leaves cover their penises. However, when they are running sometimes the leaves bounce up and short glimpses of their penises are visible.

In a deleted scene, a young boy of ten (clothed) is seen lying on his bed watching TV. He is stroking the buttocks of a young girl of his age who is lying face down next to him. She has no clothes on and her bare bum is seen. This scene was cut from the full movie because the director thought it was too paedophilic.

Violence & Gore

Corpses of both animals and people are repetitively used as symbolic imagery throughout

Many cadavers are shown

A man cuts his own fingers off

Goat decapitation- off screen but the beheaded corpse is shown afterwards

Bloody executions by gun

A riot scene leading to a graphic massacre, blood is clearly shown to be different colors at times, and food is used to represent organs being torn or cut out

A boy is castrated-shown very briefly. This leads to a scene showing an entire room of testicles jarred

Profanity

Some mild sexual and profane dialogue

Many sequences where characters indulge themselves in foreign drugs

Some of the demonic imagery may be frightening, although the musical score tones down the horror like atmosphere.
