When dedicated but rather ineffective Canadian mountie Dudley Do-Right
is fired because of evil Snidely Whiplash, he becomes a masked hero dedicated to saving
his border-town from the villain's dastardly deeds. With Brendan Fraser, Alfred
Molina, Sarah Jessica Parker, Robert Prosky, Jack Kehler, Don Yesso, Brant Von Hoffman,
Jed Rees, Eric Idle and Alex Rocco. [1:15]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - There are three kisses: two boys kiss a girl on the cheek,
and a man kisses a horse on the nose. Men dance in Native American costumes with exposed
chests and flashes of buttocks.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man shoots a gang hangout with an automatic weapon, and
blows up a helicopter. A man is tied to a tree stump which is approaching a spinning blade
(it turns out to be cardboard) and a man is tied to train tracks as a train approaches.
There's a war-like assault (with tanks, guns and other weapons) on a group of people who
are armed with fireworks and rocks. Fireworks are launched at the mob, rocks are thrown
and boulders are rolled toward them. The people are fired upon with guns and a tank fires
repeatedly at a man on horseback. The man and horse fall, but are unharmed. Two tanks fire
at each other and explode. The occupants are seen blackened and tattered but unharmed. A
mineshaft collapses on a man: he emerges rumpled and dirty. Also dynamite explodes and
leaves a man blackened and smoky. Cars crash through customs booths with lots of breaking
glass and sparks flying. Scenes of cartoonish violence consist of a man being walloped on
the head by floorboards repeatedly, a boy and a man falling down and being pounded by a
flag repeatedly, a man falling through a window, a moosehead falling on a man's head, a
man being thrown to the floor several times and a man being whacked with a board and
baseballs on the legs, head and crotch. A man's hat catches fire while he's wearing it.
There's a running gag of a horse who blows raspberries and passes gas. There are
several scenes of threatening with guns, and during a bank robbery a gang of masked men
holds the teller at gunpoint. A man jumps over a huge gulf with his motorcycle and during
a motorcycle chase men fall off and run into trees. A man chokes another man and a man
talks about having killed another man. A drunken man gets sick and a bird defecates on a
man's head.
PROFANITY 2 - One mild form of the F-word, one scatological term, a few mild
profanities and several insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, jealousy, trust, friendship, right vs. wrong and good
vs. evil.
MESSAGE - Good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad
people.
(Note: It is preceded by a cartoon short rated by the MPAA as G and
titled "The Fox, the Box and the Lox." It is about a greedy fox who takes
advantage of everybody he meets, and eventually gets his comeuppance. It contains one
scene where a woman removes her dress behind a bush, and a couple of scenes of mild
cartoonish violence: A man hits his head on a sign over and over and over again, a man
hits his head on a bucket and runs into a door and a fox is trapped in a treasure chest.
There's no profanity. The message is that taking advantage of people will leave you
friendless and helpless. Greed is the major theme.)
