Dot Matrix's "virgin alarm" goes off when Vespa and Lone Starr are about to kiss.

A few lines related to sexual innuendos. Brief scene of man puting his face into a woman's breasts (no nudity, only cleavage visible).

Scene of sexual harasment as character's tail goes up woman's dress just after he commented on another woman's breasts.

Scene of male character "fooling around" under the covers in bed with two women.

Comic, slapstick violence, including people getting hit with laser blasts. In one scene, a laser blast from Dark Helmet's ring effectively castrates a man (in a parody of the "Darth Vader force choking" scenes from Star Wars) During a "lightsaber" fight, a man is shown to have an obviously fake wound as he falls from a camera gantry. Near the end of the film, in a parody of Alien, a xenomorph is shown to burst from John Hurt's chest, with a small amount of blood.

This movie has an astounding amount of profanity for a PG-rated film. One scene is an extended gag, where many of the bridge crew on Spaceball One share the surname "Asshole." Late in the film, as Dark Helmet tries to use a disable switch to stop a self-destruct. When he discovers it's out of order, he exclaims "Fuck! Even in the future, nothing works!" In the follow-up gag, a parody of the famed "it's our Earth" reveal of Planet of the Apes, a couple of Apes see the Spaceballs emerging from the head of Mega Maid. One of them exclaims "Shit! There goes the planet..."

Other instances of "shit," "damn," "bullshit" and other profanities pepper the film.

One of the "stunt doubles" smokes a cigar.

Nothing too major. The only scenes of note are the appearance of Pizza the Hutt (who has the potential to be frightening) and the chestburster parody gag in the diner at the end (and even that one is tempered somewhat by the almost immediate launch into a parody of Chuck Jones' "One Froggy Night".)
