Sex & Nudity

  • A man goes up to a woman and intentionally tries to grab her breasts. He offers to go out on a date with her and have some sex, but she punches him in the groin.
  • A man suggests to a woman (who is offscreen) that she should not wear a bra.
  • This movie has a number of suggestive scenes and the dialogue contains some sex jokes.
  • A man and a woman kiss passionately in bed. It is implied that they have sex. Ron tells everyone that he had sex with her.
  • A man gets a very obvious erection in his pants for an extended sequence. A woman points it out and he tries to "walk the situation off" in his office.
  • A man says that in German 'San Diego' means a whale vagina.
  • One character says he wants to slather BBQ sauce on another character's rear end
  • A man says he wants to be friends with a woman's butt. Another man also says, "there is a party in my pants."
  • A woman is wearing only an apron (small part of the breast visible) (Nothing actually showing)
  • A man wears tighty-whitey underwear and thrusts his crotch at a woman to distract her
  • A man invites a woman to a "party in his pants" (and then another man)

Violence & Gore

  • All fake looking comic violence, cartoonish and all played for laughs. Fight with different news teams, a character loses a limb comically, fake bloody stub.
  • All of the violence is over-the-top and played for laughs; it is not as intense as it may seem.
  • A bear bites off a man's arm. No blood.
  • You see a few news-casting teams hitting each other with cameras and microphones on the street. A guy gets stabbed (not bloody), a guy is on fire and a guy's arm is chopped off (with the stub clearly visible).
  • Brick throws a trident and kills a man with it (he should probably lay low for a while)
  • Woman throws a typewriter at a man, it hits him in the head.
  • A woman rips off a TV antenna and whips a man a few times with it.
  • A woman sprays mace in a man's eyes. He later sprays it in his own eyes by accident

Profanity

  • At one point in the movie a lady says "It smells like Bigfoot's dick!"
  • 1 F-word, 14 sexual references, 5 scatological terms (3 mild), 19 anatomical terms, 26 mild obscenities, 2 religious profanities, 10 religious exclamations. One use of the phrase "go fuck yourself" in a very funny scene. The Unrated DVD includes five more uses of the f-word in the scene right after it, in reference to the preceding scene. Five uses of the word "shit." Plenty of use of terms like "ass," "bitch," "crap," "hell," "damn," "whore," "hooker," and one use of the insult "dickweed."
  • The F-word is said 4 more times in the UNRATED version.
  • Champ says "You sound like a gay"
  • 5 uses of 'shit', 5 of 'ass', a few of 'whore' and 'bitch' during arguments, and 1 of 'fuck'. The unrated version has 6 more uses of 'fuck', all within one scene.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Several instances of smoking.
  • The news team drinks and smokes before every broadcast.
  • A character becomes an alcoholic for a short period of time.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Although the scene with the dog being thrown off a bridge into water is meant to be comical, and looks very fake, it could still upset some animal lovers.
  • While there's no nudity or detailed sex, there's a pretty big amount of verbal sexual humor. Some might be offended by frequent instances of sexism. 1970s sexism is a prominent theme in this movie.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • There is a long scene where multiple news broadcasting teams brawl with blades, guns, grenades and other weapons. A character even gets his arm cut off and we see his bone and bloody cross section. The scene is extremely over the top and exaggerated as a satirical take on gang wars. It is used for comedic effect and there is no intense blood/gore.
  • A biker tosses a dog off a bridge. The dog clearly looks fake.
