Sex & Nudity

  • Women wear a ton of skimpy outfits throughout the movie.
  • On a band bus, shirtless men kiss women wearing bikini tops (revealing cleavage) and short shorts while they makeout to music and the scene ends (sex is implied).
  • Two topless women wearing skimpy bikini bottoms are shown swimming underwater in a pool and the camera provides a close-up of their buttocks and the side of one breast.
  • Many semi-nude women lean against clothed men's shoulders as the males sit at parties and the women's bare breasts are shown a little close to the men's faces.
  • An album cover shows four shirtless men with their privates covered with instruments.
  • At an apartment party, men push a woman wearing only panties out into the hall and lock their door and the scene ends and a woman standing inside the door nude (we see some full frontal nudity).
  • A woman wearing only panties is beside Dr. Dre trying to get his attention; we see her bare breasts.
  • The sex scenes are brief, although they are highly graphic.
  • Director's cut - Rarely we see a fully nude woman in pool party scenes, in the foreground of the shot. No frontal nudity but buttocks and breasts visible.
  • Director's cut - a scene on a bed with two naked women facing each other, a man lying underneath them both, with his face at the crotch of one woman, oral sex implied. Her buttocks are bare.
  • At pool parties topless women and women wearing skimpy bikini tops and short shorts dance and writhe. A scene features a row of six women's buttocks (in bikini bottoms) twerking, while a man smiles. Crude but comical.
  • In an apartment party scene, several men are shirtless and many women are nude or topless and wearing skimpy panties (we see breasts and buttocks). DJ Yella is briefly shown having sex with a woman named Valaria (on a hotel bed) as the party rages around them. (We see some movements under the covers and very brief full frontal nudity (when she gets up.)
  • While on the tour bus, DJ Yella is watching pornography (briefly seen, graphic) beside MC Ren and the other members are annoyed by the audio and then joke around. Bare breasts and thrusting are seen, moaning heard. This is only in the extended version.

Violence & Gore

  • Dr. Dre sees Suge Knight threaten a black guy in only a diaper with a pit bull.
  • Suge Knight and his goons trick Eazy-E into meeting Dre at the studio. When Eazy-E arrives Suge Knight and his goons beat up Eazy-E and force him to sign Dr.Dre out of his contract. Close ups of Eazy-E's bloodied face after getting beaten up.
  • A performance of "Fuck tha Police" is interrupted by police officers and the members of N.W.A. are arrested. During this scene, the audience of the concert incites a riot.
  • Dr. Dre witnesses Suge Knight and his goons beat up a man in underwear, as well as Suge beating up an employee after he parked his car at Suge's parking lot.
  • We see the aftermath of the Rodney King riots.

Profanity

  • The members of N.W.A are known for swearing.
  • A lot of the profanity is said in the music throughout the movie, with one of the songs being titled, "Fuck The Police"
  • This is one of the most profane movies of all time.
  • Rarely contains some religious profanity, including "God Almighty" once, very loud & clear and obvious.
  • 392 uses of fuck, and over 200+ uses of shit.
  • Crude humor left and right.

  • Alcohol is consumed almost religiously by one character and is used a lot by others.
  • There is drug use, but not a hefty amount. Marijuana is smoked mostly at parties

Frightening & Intense Scenes
