The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

A passionate kiss between Blank and Debi.

Violence & Gore

Multiple instances of gun violence.

Two assaults.

Ultimart Carl plays Doom II arcade game.

One explosion.

Debi slaps Blank.

A fight.

One stabbing.

Some of the violence is fairly graphic.

-SPOILERS- The two most graphic scenes are probably the scene where Blank stabs La Poubelle in the neck with a fountain pen and the scene where he cuts his hand on the television screen after killing Grocer with it. Both of these scenes are extremely bloody and might make some people squeamish.

Profanity

24 uses of "fuck" and its variations, with many other religious expletives and hard profanities thrown in.

Three instances of cigarette smoking.

Two instances of drunkenness.

The MPAA warning lists "some drug content" - there is some talk about pot and "blow", and an old marijuana cigarette is shown (and then crushed) - but no actual drug use is shown.

A few intense scenes, but all very comical.
