Sex & Nudity

  • After the ending battle with the hunters, a hunter who lost his pants is seen in the crowd of running hunters. His bare butt can be seen, but it's only for 5 seconds.
  • In the beginning credits Boog smacks his butt at 2 hunters walking down the street.
  • Elliott says he has a "moon burn" referring to his butt.
  • A woman's bra and men's underwear are used as sling shots.
  • Boog puffs his cheeks underwater, suggestive for some viewers.
  • Boog's puffy cheeks in some underwater scenes may be adorably suggestive to some viewers.

Violence & Gore

  • A "war" breaks out between animals and hunters.
  • 1 gun.
  • The silhouetted shadow of Boog dealing with Elliot behind a curtain makes it look like he's mauling him (clothes coming off look like skin in the shadow, rope being pulled looks like intestines being ripped out, and liquid hitting the curtain looks like blood), but this is all played for laughs on the part of the film (although the humans viewing it are terrified and flee).
  • Shaw fires at both Boog and Elliot, leaving a large hole in the tree behind them. They flee, with Boog running across a beaver dam that's under construction. It gives way beneath him, resulting in a massive flood that sweeps away all of the animals (a porcupine lands on Elliot's face) as well as Shaw in his truck. After being underwater, they all surface and are swept through some rough rapids, with Shaw repeatedly shooting at Boog and Elliot. When he finally has a bead on them, they all go over a huge waterfall (but everyone is okay and this is played more for adventure than suspense).

Profanity

  • A character refers to a beaver dam as a "dang dam".
  • Boog has to use the restroom and Elliott tells him to use a bush because it's the same thing only you're "crapping" on it.
  • A couple has a dog named Mr. Weenie. His name is used in different ways.
  • Not so nice words: stupid, crud
  • God's name is taken in vain once.
  • In another scene, a character after hearing the word "fight" responds by saying "The f-word?", though he does not actually swear.
  • Boog, while never actually swearing, makes MANY suggestive grunts and growls.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • After raiding a convenience store and overindulging on sugary foods Boog acts like he is intoxicated with slurred speech and drooling.
  • The main hunter smokes a cigarette.
  • Boog and Elliott get "high" off of helium.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Boog ends up in a cabin with animal wall mount trophies on the wall.
  • For preschoolers/kids.
  • None for neurodivergent viewers.
  • As Beth goes out to her vehicle, we see a large grizzly bear rear up behind and approach her (seen from in front of her and well as from its POV), letting out a loud roar right behind her. She then turns and does the same back to it, which is when we realize they're friends, and Boog was just playing around.
  • As Boog roughs up Elliot on stage (having him by the throat and banging his head repeatedly), Shaw prepares to shoot both of them with one shot, but the sheriff knocks the rifle away just in time as we hear a shot, but then see that Beth has shot Boog with a tranquilizer dart (and then fires a number into Elliot's butt).
  • Climbing up a cliff with Elliot (seen from above them looking down), Boog loses his grip and falls a very long distance. We then see him hitting and bouncing off various trees until he eventually lands on the porcupine (we don't see the impact, but do see the critter (alive) stuck on Boog's backside (Elliot pulls the porcupine off, causing Boog some pain in the process -- but it's all played for laughs).
  • The scene where shaw sings the picnic song when going after boog in his cabin (when it's dark and stormy out) can be creepy.
