Rating: 7

An intimate sex scene between Clarence and Alabama shows slow movement and bare breasts, but it's shot in a way where thrusting or side nudity isn't visible.

A discussion between Drexl, Big Don, and Wurlitzer graphically talks about male-to-female oral sex. In addition, there is plenty of rather explicit sexual dialogue throughout the film.

Clarence talks to Dick while using a pay phone in a phone booth, and then Alabama talks to Dick as well. They then hang up on Dick, while Clarence takes off Alabama's tank top(revealing a bra), and begins grabbing at her panties(implying disrobing). They kiss and make pleasured sounds, with a distant shot showing him thrusting before it cuts away.

Elliot is driving too fast while making rather pleasured sounds, and when the cops tail him, a woman gets up(implying female-to-male oral sex).

Rating: 10

Drexl shoots Big Don and Wurlitzer to death with a shotgun(blood spurts out of their shirts), shoots their dog(blood spurts) and then steals their cocaine.

Clarence shoots Drexl in the crotch(blood spurts out of his boxers), and then fires several shots into his head(with some blood spurt, although the act is mostly off-screen). He also shoots Marty to death(blood spurts out of his shirt). Clarence then steals their already stolen cocaine.

Vincent shoots Clifford in the head repeatedly(blood spurts in a brief shot), he falls to the ground, and Vincent fires a few more shots.

Virgil punches Alabama in the face. She's on the ground, with blood on her face, and he then punches and kicks her repeatedly until her face is COVERED in blood. Alabama then smacks him in the head with a mini-statue, and they tussle until Virgil pushes Alabama into a shower. After some more tussling, Alabama hits Virgil in the head several times with the top of a toilet. She then gets a lighter and hair spray(or something along the lines of that), and lights Virgil on fire. She then stabs him with a swiss army knife repeatedly, and with Virgil's shotgun already being cocked and loaded, he falls on it, making him accidentally shoot himself in the head.

Lee, Elliot, Clarence, Alabama, and Dick are negotiating when the cops come in. Then, the mobsters come in also. After some arguing, a 5 minute shootout begins. Lee, Elliot, the mobsters, and all the cops(except for Nicky) are shot to death repeatedly(with LOTS of blood spurt). Nicky shoots Clarence, but the bullet his eye instead of his forehead, causing him to survive. Nicky finds that one of the guards is still bleeding out, and shoots him several times as revenge. Alabama then shoots Nicky in the chest with blood spurt.

Over 230 uses of "Fuck", and god knows how many s-words and anatomical terms.

Rating: 8

The plot revolves around stolen cocaine. Dick samples it by snorting it off of a butter knife, and Lee snorts it through a rolled up piece of paper or something along the lines of that.

Dick's roommate, Floyd, is a stoner who sits on the couch all day. He's high for all of his screentime, clearly smokes a joint in one scene, and takes a hit off a bong in another scene.

Rating: 6

The scene with Virgil beating up Alabama is long and extremely brutal, although the rest of the violence doesn't have as much of a dramatic nature.

Final rating: 41(mature teens and adults only)
