Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

# There is full rear nudity of Cole (Bruce Willis) as he's washed down after having returned from the infected planet surface. # There is full rear nudity of Brad Pitt in one scene. # There is more full rear nudity of Cole (Bruce Willis) as he's washed down in the psychiatric ward. # In a free flowing tirade of thoughts and words, Goines spouts out the words "electrically operated sexual devices." (Relating to nothing in particular) # Goines "moons" several orderlies and his bare butt is seen # Returned to the future Cole is asked "How was it? Lots of drugs? Lots of good p*ssy?" # Cole's butt is again seen during a WWI battle scene where for some reason he ends up there nude. # A motel manager thinks that Cole and Kathryn have checked in for sex (they haven't). Cole says that she's a psychiatrist and the manager responds, "Whatever gets it up for you."

Violence & Gore

A man points a gun at a man as he runs; a group of men from behind shoot him (We see blood spray in slow-motion). He falls to the ground, and we see blood pouring from his body. Note that this scene is shown multiple times, but from different angles and sometimes with the entire scene not intact.

A man is thrown and punched repeatedly. After he falls to the ground, his attacker aggressively beats him over the head (We see some blood in the aftermath) before killing him. A man hits a man in the crotch and beats him until dead. Two men threaten a man and a woman at gunpoint (One man seems to threaten to rape the women, as he is shown partially pulling down his pants before being interrupted.)

A man punches a woman in the face (We see her bloody nose for a few scenes). A man tackles a man and then beats him with a phone before dragging him away. A man's mouth bleeds profusely in several scenes (He states that he has removed some of his teeth). A man attacks multiple men, throwing and punching them. A man is thrown into a metal cart and hits the ground. We hear that one man recieved a skull fracture after another man assualted him.

We hear that a woman's dead body was found strangled and mutilated. A woman's car is hijacked by a man who claims to have a gun (He doesn't). A man is shot in the leg and bleeds. We see a man's bloody bullet wound in multiple scenes. We hear that a man was involved in a brawl with five police officers, and hospitalized two of them.

Profanity

17 F words and numerous other scattered profanities.

A man in a mental institution is drugged heavily and is shown in a disconnected state in several scenes. Characters reference drug use briefly. A man lists various medications to another man and asks if he was given any.

Main characters are threatened throughout the course of the film; some intense scenes that involve characters being beaten aggressively by the protagonist, sometimes to death.
