No sex or nudity in this movie.

A couple of kissing scenes.

A man flicks a cigarette lighter/detonator, blowing up a piece of equipment, and then shoots another man in the chest.

A man, with long scars from the ears to the collar bones, points a gun toward the audience and shoots and kills another man after threatening to kill all the grandchildren in town (the man's blood drips from an emblem on the killer's outfit).

A castle wall falls in and a block hits a man on the head; we see him lying dead with his eyes open, and a thin trickle of blood at the temple.

Three GIs break in windows and a major battle ensues with hand-to-hand combat, guns, ray-gun rifles, and ray-gun cannons, grenades, explosions and smoke.

One man walks across a broken steel beam to a platform, the beam breaks, another man jumps about 100 feet from one platform to the next, they confront another man, he pulls off a human-skin mask to reveal a bright red skull, he sets a self-destruct bomb and leaves along with everyone else before it explodes to fill the screen with fire and smoke.

A GI parachutes from an airplane amid puffs of smoke and fire, and on the ground he punches and kicks away storm troopers; he carries a shield that stops bullets and works as a Frisbee-like boomerang, knocking enemies from treetops and he banks it off walls to hit other enemies with it.

Storm troopers chase a GI on motorcycles, the GI sprays them with fire and pulls them from their bikes with stretched wires; other storm troopers with huge flamethrowers surround the GI, they take him to a dark lair where a man punches him in the face twice and the stomach once.

An soldier flies a plane to a huge wing-shaped airship and gets inside the larger ship, he finds bomber planes labeled for US cities, and the planes launch as two men find themselves on top of one bomber in the sky; they fight, one shoots the pilot from the plane, and flies the plane back into the large airship.

A man gets into a fight with another man in an alley, receiving punches in the face several times, falling, and getting back to his feet.

There are drops of blood on a gurney in an interrogation room as an interrogator asks a man questions and says they will kill him no matter what he answers (he remains unharmed).

Three GIs use a zip line to jump atop a train, they enter train cars, find robot-like soldiers with ray machine guns, and a gunfight breaks out for several minutes; several enemy soldiers fall, disabled, and objects disintegrate to ashes when shot by the high-tech guns. Laser rifles disintegrate objects and humans into large piles of ashes.

A woman and a man shoot at a man, the woman chases the man into traffic, shoots into the windshield of a taxi he has stolen and she is pushed out of the way before the car can strike her.

A man runs at super-speed through streets and over cars, catching another man after punching out a window of a submarine that the man stole.

A soldier clings to the outside of a rail car, loses his grip, and falls into an icy crevasse; he's assumed dead.

A large aircraft on a glacier is opened and we see a human encased in ice; we see only some blond hair and a red, white and blue star under a small patch of clear ice.

A female sergeant punches a smart-mouthed recruit; other GIs push him down into the mud and lower razor wire into his path as he crawls through an obstacle course.

A short GI lies in a machine that injects him with a serum, his eyes open wide, he grimaces, screams.

A man awakens in a hospital room, demanding to know where he is; he kicks guards aside, breaks through a wall, and runs through a city at super-speed, until unmarked government vehicles surround him.

A man flies an aircraft into a glacier to divert it from crashing into NYC; we hear only his voice transmission stop as the camera pans to the wreckage on the ice and then cuts to a sea vessel retrieving a blue cube from an ocean.

Two tanks explode from oversized grenades thrown inside them, filling the screen each time with flames.

A little boy is thrown into a river (but is able to swim to safety.)

Two men drink schnapps.

Soldiers drink mugs of beer in a bar.

We see mugs of beer on other tables and bottles of liquor on a back bar.

A bartender says soldiers are drinking a lot but we see no drunken behaviour.

A man sits in the ruins of a bar and drinks with a liquor bottle at his elbow.

Captain America comments on how he can no longer get drunk.

A short shot of a man being thrown into a propeller and blood splattering.

A puny young man is placed in a special chamber and injected with chemicals as part of an experiment. As he is subjected to a radiological treatment, he howls in pain, but insists that they continue the process. There is sparking and electricity arcing with the equipment.

The face of the main villain may be frightening for younger viewers.
