ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

MPAA Rating: R

Christopher Lambert and Mario Van Peebles team up as partners/rivals and use big guns to fight Patrick Stewart, as the bile-filled villain.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A bedroom scene takes place in a brothel. There is no nudity, and it ends in violence, not sex. There's a comic scene of Van Peebles trying to coax information out of a sleep-talking Lambert: they hug, and Van Peebles considers giving him a kiss. In another scene, there is a brief shot of a woman getting out of a bubble bath, exposing her breasts.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is shot in the head in front of his young child. There are also various beatings, and Lambert is shown dangling from a helicopter and being dragged through the ocean; a wheelchair-bound man is tossed into a grave and buried alive. Both protagonists are shot in the legs. A woman shoots her boyfriend, and later she is shot in the shoulder with a spear gun. She also puts a gun barrel in Lambert's mouth. Plus, the usual violence and gunplay typical of the genre.

PROFANITY 6 - The F-word is used several times, plus an assortment of other scatological and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Organized crime; drug dealing.

MESSAGE - There is a vague underlying message about the evils of drug trafficking.
