There are a few sexual scenes in the movie. The first is a talk between Tre and his father in which he uses rather crude words to teach him about the importance of sex and responsibility.

The second is a scene in which a now teenage Tre tells his father of a sexual encounter he claims to have had which is later revealed to have never happened in reality. The scene itself is mildly graphic, a man is seen in bed thrusting on top of a woman, they are covered with a sheet. They roll over and the woman is seen nude and her breasts visible as she thrusts on top of a man in bed.

The last sexual scene is between Tre and his girlfriend, a woman is seen in her underpants and bra. There is then an up close shot of her breasts and we see Tre thrusting on top of her. They are covered with a sheet during the actual sex and no more nudity is seen.

A young man is killed by a shotgun in a drive-by shooting. We see a very graphic wound with lots of blood. His bloody body is shown for an extended time.

A few young men are shot with machine guns in a drive-by. We see some blood on one of the men as he is killed point blank (off screen) while begging for his life.

We see a slightly bloody dead body.
