Sex & Nudity

  • The movies sexual content, as the nudity and explicit content in the brief sex scenes are all censored
  • We see a man's scrotum in a vacuum
  • A man pulls down his pants to show a small amount of pubic hair.
  • Two men engage in various sexual acts wearing leather outfits that expose their blurred out genitals including one man shoving a fire extinguisher in the rectum of another, slingshoting onto the genitals of another from a rolling chair, vacuuming the scrotum in a vacuum and the other spinning the other on his concealed genitals like a propeller.
  • We see an extended clip of a penis swinging around on a TV screen at the end it says "bruno" with the urethra being the mouth. A focus group is shown being uncomfortable with seeing it.
  • A woman rips off a man's shirt and disrobes nude, revealing full-frontal nudity. She yells at him to engage in sex with her while he escapes through the window.
  • A man has brief sex with a clothed woman from behind, a black censor bar covers buttocks and genitals.
  • A man and a plump woman are briefly shown having sex in a seated position with some moaning. A black censor box blocks her breasts and genitals (although she is clothed).
  • There is a big close up of a man's lower body including his penis that is waved around and rotated. Lasts for 10 seconds.
  • A man makes a hand gesture that references to oral sex; he also gestures to ejaculation and semen.
  • A man is shown, without pants, and a champagne bottle sticking out of his anus; another man then lifts him (his side bare buttock shown), and pours a glass of champagne from it. Crude, but played for laughs
  • A man's bare buttocks are shown with a remote control sticking out of his anus, and he directs another man to pull it out.
  • Two men are lie in bed and wake up to find they are chained to one another in a sexual fashion wearing revealing clothing (their chests are exposed).
  • Two fully dressed men reference some sexual acts and physically act most of them out: one bends over in front of the other and encourages him to thrust toward him.
  • Many other strong innuendos and references, generally of the homosexual variety.

Violence & Gore

  • A man forces himself to vomit.
  • Bruno battles another man in a wrestling cage. Some punches are thrown and his opponent has a slightly bloody mouth.
  • Bruno gets whipped with a belt by a naked woman.
  • Bruno accidently runs into a wall. He does not appear injured.
  • Bruno drives a boy out into the streets on a motorbike and is narrowly missed by a car.
  • Bruno gets chased by some people on the streets briefly in a different country.

Profanity

  • 25 uses of 'fuck', 12 of 'shit', 7 of 'fag(got), 3 of 'bitch' and 'queer', and 2 of 'pussy' and 'dick' (mainly from people reacting against Bruno). Some potentially offensive remarks and stereotypes regarding homosexuality, race (Germany in particular), and celebrities as well.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man says he did not have enough ecstasy to share with others. People cheer while holding beer in their hands in a scene, champagne is poured from a bottle in a man's rear, a man pours a glass of champagne, a man offers champagne to another man, and people throw cups of beer on two men. Three men are shown smoking cigarettes, a man lights a cigarette on screen, and a man is shown smoking a hookah pipe in a restaurant. A man is shown eating in excess and later says he was high on carbs.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Hitler is mentioned in a scene.
  • A derogatory joke is made about autism.
  • We see Bruno forcing himself to vomit after eating which may be triggering to viewers who have survived eating disorders or have emitophobia.
  • The movie is often outrageous and offensive, but it also contains underlying messages.
  • Bruno visits a supposedly active terrorist and says hurtful comments about his "king". The man then tells Bruno to leave.
