SEX/NUDITY 1 - A male and a female fly kiss, and other male and female flies kiss. Two male and two female flies hold hands and talk about going on a date, and male and female flies dance together.
► A fly tells another fly to "Be careful, girls will be all over ya'."
► Two female flies wear short tops that reveal abdomens. Human male statues are shown bare-chested.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A plane nosedives toward the ocean but is pulled up before crashing.
► We see a chimpanzee being loaded into a space capsule and when the rocket lifts off the chimpanzee is shown screeching.
► A man grabs a fly in his hand and drops it into an ashtray (we see the fly motionless and covered with ash). A man sprays three flies with bug spray and they collapse. A man swats a fly with his hand; the fly is struck and falls to the floor, dazed. Two flies are nearly squashed under a foot. Flies are knocked into a coffee cup (we see them floating and spitting out the liquid). A glass tube with three flies in it shatters and the flies fly out unharmed. Three flies are trapped in a glass tube and try to get out.
► Flies fight: one is struck in the head and falls to the floor, one threatens another one, one head-butts another and kicks and punches are exchanged. A fly faints a couple of times. Two maggots fight over food (they tug back and forth).
► Fly parents talk about their children being missing. A mother fly says she's going to "Check on the maggots." A mother fly tells a child fly that "Flies are starving in India." There are several discussions between flies about being obese and gorging.
► Flies push a dung ball back and forth. Flies talk about eating "party mold." A woman sneezes and goo sprays out of her nose (we see a fly with a blob of goo on it). A fly burps a couple of times. A fly gets stuck in a piece of gum. We see larvae bouncing on a seesaw.
