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.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

One of the main characters is an ex-porn star, and you briefly see a video which shows women in revealing outfits singing a song called "Teen Horniness Is Not A Crime", which includes a reference to masturbation, as well as repeated utterings of the title.

A man and woman kiss, it's implied that they have sex.

A man and woman are seen in bed together.

The ex-porn star and her friends wear very skimpy clothing.

A tape is seen with the words "Cock Chuggers" on it and that title is said during the same scene.

On a reality show, the ex-porn star and her friends talk about what they did in a rather explicit manner.

In one scene, a woman threatens to kill herself unless she can suck a man's penis.

Violence & Gore

Three people get shot with rifles, with blood seen in the air and on their shirts.

A person has a bloody shirt in a dream sequence.

A blimp is destroyed.

A cop stages and commits a double murder, blood is seen on the victim's shirts.

A man gets shot at close range with blood in the air while some of it splatters onto a white object (most likely a desk), a man gets shot while on the toilet (no nudity) and a man gets shot while working in a meth lab.

Roland's twin 'brother" is abducted, and he eventually gets shot in the left eye with a bloody injury seen in that area several times.

The film's conclusion shows quick shots of environmental change as the Earth that was is destroyed.

In multiple scenes, we see a needle like device inserted into the neck, which lets people see God.

Profanity

Extensive cursing, with F*ck (around 55), S**t, P***y, and D*ck being used the most frequently.

A fair amount of this is said in a sexual manner by porn star characters.

2 assassins smoke marijuana, one from a joint, another from a bong.

Abilene buys marijuana, and is seen smoking a joint in one of Roland's "fluid-karma" induced hallucinations. "Fluid-Karma", a synthetic substance which somehow relates to Baron's ocean wave fuel, is implicated as being tested on soldiers, and characters inject it into their necks in at least 3 scenes.

Plenty of social drinking, with the 2 assassins appearing to be drunk, and Boxer guzzling from a six pack (the cans are still together, not separate). In addition, Abilene drinks alcohol to intoxication in his "Fluid-Karma" induced hallucination, and is clearly drunk at the end.

Pot plants and meth labs are present in the background of the neo-marxist compound (no actual drug production seen).

A man tries to quickly find his brother. However, when he does, the 4th dimension collapses upon itself.

Boxer Santaros tries to get everybody to move to the rear of the blimp, or he will kill himself.

Two people try to kill two soldiers before they can kill them.
