Memento (2000) More at IMDbPro »

A very brief flashback where a man rapes a woman with nothing shown.

In a few scenes a man wakes up next to other women, once after hiring an escort to help him remember the circumstances of his wife's death.

A man's buttocks are seen briefly after he fights another man in the nude (the fight itself is not sexual).

A woman is seen in only underwear and a bra in flashbacks, but none of her privates are visible.

The first scene of the film depicts a reversed gunshot murder, with a thick stream of blood oozing backwards, blood splatters shown on the walls and floor, and then the shot itself off-screen.

A man gets out of a shower and attacks another man; there is some shoving and tackling, and then the second man is knocked out with a bottle.

After she insults his dead wife, a man slaps and then punches a woman.

In a flashback, a man interrupts a rape and shoots the rapist. He is then bludgeoned on the back of the head by another attacker (causing the memory problem which impairs him throughout the film); he falls to the ground and blood pools under his head.

A woman commits suicide by having her husband inject her with a triple dose of insulin (due to amnesia, he doesn't realize what he's done).

Several other scenes of mild violence.

74 uses of "fuck", 23 uses of "shit", and frequent uses of other crass words such as cock, prick, and crap.

Also contains one very strong use of cunt.

A man finds a woman in a bathroom snorting cocaine.

Some of the characters drink in bars, and a man mentions that it's "beer o'clock".

None of the main characters smoke, but Burt (the inn clerk) is shown smoking in one scene.

One character is a drug dealer. Another character promises to sell him $200,000 worth of amphetamines.

The entire plot is about a man trying to find and kill the man who raped and killed his wife. Several flashbacks are shown of the rape/murder itself, some of them accompanied by startling noises.
