SEX/NUDITY 6 - A couple nuzzles under a bridge and she opens her blouse (no nudity is evident) and then manually stimulates the man -- sounds are heard but nothing is seen: we hear unbuttoning and know what they are doing, but there's no nudity; he moans and has an orgasm and then she flings his semen into the water. A woman sits on a man's lap and there is thrusting and moaning (no nudity). A woman flashes a boy one breast, a photograph shows two nude women and we can see both breasts of one, the side of the other's bare breasts and the side of her buttocks. A couple kisses and a man nuzzles a woman's neck. A man lies in his bath nude on his side and we see his hip, shoulder and the side of his torso. A woman wears a full slip, a man is in his boxers in one scene, a woman wears a transparent blouse in a few scenes and we can see her black bustier underneath, and a woman wears a black bustier under an open robe and we can see her cleavage. A man puts his hands down his pants to make fun of a man who keeps his belongings down his pants. Sexual innuendo includes comments like "do your pipes" and "I have something to show you."

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man hits a woman on the head with a shovel, she staggers outside with lots of blood on her forehead and face, she falls and we see the blood on her face and a gash. A father slaps his son, and a father slaps his belt against a table and chases his son in an attempt to catch him and hit him with the belt. A boy turns on the gas in his house in an attempt to kill his parents -- and one does die. A man and a woman kick a shrouded corpse into a grave. A man holds a shard of glass in his hand, the glass and his hand are bloody, and he uses the glass to keep people away from him -- he threatens to cut out their hearts and two men put a mattress against him to subdue him. A man is over a woman with a hammer and a screwdriver, and we think he's about to hurt her but he doesn't. A man draws a shard of glass across his wrist but does not draw blood. A man throws a woman off his lap and her back hits a wall but she's not injured. A verbal argument between a couple is overheard by their son. A man tears up a jigsaw puzzle in frustration. We see a smear of blood on a piece of glass.
