Sex & Nudity

Lots of sexual innuendo and rough sex talk about different types of intercourse and masturbation; also a few references to oral sex and erections. In an extended scene an angel drops his pants to reveal that he has no genitals; the camera lingers on his naked crotch. After she falls in water a woman's nipples are evident through her wet blouse, and we see pictures on a wall of topless women. Some cleavage and a woman in a small bra and panties dances suggestively around a pole. We see a man's bare behind.

Violence & Gore

Two angels shoot and kill several people in a boardroom (we hear screaming and see blood splatter on various objects in the room). We see the aftermath of a massacre, with many dead and very bloody bodies all over the street; we then see that an angel is picking people up and dropping them (one man's head is splattered all over the ground, with very bloody results). An angel's head explodes, splattering blood. An angel has bloody stumps where his wings used to be; another angel has his wings shot off by a machine gun (blood splatters as his wings fall to pieces). A powerful beam emerges from a man as a soul exits his body, which slices a woman's side (there is lots of blood, and she dies, but is quickly revived). A man is shot with a machine gun (we see bloody bullet holes and his body jerks on their impact). An angel stabs and kills a man (we hear the squishy sounds as he pulls it out, and see blood on them both). A woman is stabbed in the back with a hockey stick and killed (we see a bloody wound on her back). A man on a bus is shot and killed (off screen, but many people react in horror). An angel breaks a man's neck and kills him. A demon is killed with a golf club (a gooey substance pours out). We see implied images of a massacre taking place on a TV (many people are shown with bloody faces and in panic). In two scenes, an angel holds a sharp object (broken bottle, and knife) to a woman's throat and threatens to cut it. Lots of fighting and brawling.

Profanity

Close to 100 F-words, many scatological terms, several anatomical terms and many insults.

There are people getting drunk, using Marijuana and smoking cigarettes throughout this film.

The film follows two homicidal angels on a quest to return to heaven/destroy humanity.

A demon made of dung emerges from a toilet.

Dozens of people die in assorted bloody ways onscreen.

There is demonic imagery rather frequently displayed in this film with several demon main characters.

A woman working at an abortion clinic has a crisis of faith during much of the film.
