Sex & Nudity

Romeo + Juliet make love, nothing graphic is shown. Some partial nudity.

During the pool scene, Romeo kisses most of Juliet's upper torso.

Long, sensual kisses throughout parts of the film.

Violence & Gore

The opening scene is a gun fight between the Montagues and Capulets. Tybalt turns a gun on a small child and says "bang."

Tybalt cuts Mercutio with a piece of glass, resulting in Mercutio's death. Mercutio's wound is bloody.

Romeo shoots Tybalt to death in the middle of town.

Profanity

None.

Tybalt smokes at the gas station, which ends up setting gasoline on the ground on fire.

When Romeo's parents seek him out, he is seen sitting near the ocean, smoking a cigarette.

Lady Capulet smokes when she is getting ready for the feast.

Mercutio offers Romeo a small white pill. It blurs Romeo's vision during the party and he must go to the bathroom and douse his head in water to shake off its effects.

As Tybalt watches the Montagues leave the feast/party, he smokes cigarette.

**Spoiler**

The scene where Romeo kills Juliet's cousin Tybalt may disturb some viewers.
