Sex & Nudity

4/10

There is a brief scene when Shoshana and Frederich are sitting at lunch with Goebbels and his translator in which when the translator introduces herself, it cuts to a scene with Goebbels is having doggie style sex with her from behind. This only lasts for a few seconds, but features a lot of moaning and graphic movement, implying hard anal sex. No nudity

Violence & Gore

10/10

A group of Nazi soldiers shoot through the floorboards of a house, killing the Jewish family that was hiding there. One girl gets away (we see some blood on her).

In a montage, a man slits another man's throat, places a pillow over a man's head and stabs his face repeatedly and shoves his fist into another sleeping man's mouth, presumably suffocating him.

Nazi's are scalped when captured, we see some of these shots in partial detail and others from a distance. For some, they are allowed to live, but with a swastika carved into their forhead. On two occasions, we this carving up close with quite a bit of blood oozing forth.

A Nazi's head is beaten in with a baseball bat. Extremely graphic and brutal. Most of this is shown from a distance but there are a few close-ups.

There is a brief scene where a man is shown being whipped. His back is bloody.

A shoot out occurs in a bar. Some blood is shown; there is also a closeup of two men shooting each other in the crotches repeatedly. Many people die in this scene.

Aldo tries to recieve information from Bridget by putting his finger into a bullet hole wound in her leg, and then twisting his finger around as she writhes and screams in pain.

Bridget is strangled by Landa, and we see the entire struggle. Very disturbing

Plenty of shootouts throughout the movie, and some of them involving blood spraying. A few specific moments: We see Hitler's face riddled with bullets, blood spraying as pieces of his skin fly everywhere. . Three officers are shot in a car, we see blood splatter on the windshield.

A theater is set on fire to burn down, killing all of the Nazis in it.

Profanity

7/10

About two dozen f-words and half-a-dozen s-words. God's name is taken in vain close to 10 times; five times it's paired with "d--n." Milder profanities include "a--," "h---," "b--ch" and "b--tard." There are a couple of crude verbal references to the male anatomy.

5/10

(Pipe)smoking and drinking throughout, including a scene taking place in a pub where a few people are very drunk. Also Brad Pitt's character sniffs powdered snuff in many scenes.

7/10

Some scenes graphic violence could be very disturbing to some viewers.

Some intense shoot out scenes where shots come suddenly and unexpectedly.

The scalping scenes are gross but semi comedic, as per the eccentric nature of the film

The ending scene can be very intense to certain viewers.

A woman is strangled to death.

Total explicit content: 33/50 The extreme and graphic sequences of violence in this film are not only realistic, but extremely bloody. Also, the language, and the brief (but strong) sex scene make this film appropriate for viewers 16-17 and up.
