Sex & Nudity
-
- The Landlord's Daughter, sung by many of the islanders in the Green Man inn, is a bawdy song highly suggestive of Willow's sexual proclivity. Willow appears to accept this as a compliment and dances in a suggestive way with Oak.
- A young man is "presented" to a woman in a window who is referred to as Aphrodite. Later in the scene they are heard having sex - no nudity is shown.
- Several partially clad and naked couples are seen apparently copulating outside at night.
- A naked woman with breasts in clear view is seen sat crying against a gravestone.
- Director's Cut only: The song Gently Johnny describes a sexual encounter.
- Pregnant women in partially see-through slips are seen picking blossom from trees.
- Apparently naked young women (wearing body stockings so nothing seen) are seen dancing and jumping through a fire. Lord Summerisle refers to them as children.
- Willow is seen singing and dancing naked. Her breasts are shown in medium closeup and there are full length views of her back (for which a body-double was used).
- A woman is discovered naked in the bath. She exposes her breasts to Sergeant Howie.
- Several island women play sexually suggestive games with the Hobbyhorse and Punch during the procession.
- Schoolgirls refer to a maypole as a "phallic symbol", and schoolboys dance around it while singing a sexually suggestive song.

- Sergeant Howie punches an islander in the face.
- Oak throws Sergeant Howie to the ground and then physically restrains him.
- Superficial amounts of blood are seen on Sergeant Howie's face after his run through the caves.
- A police officer finds "a bit of dried skin" attached to Rowan's alleged grave. The groundskeeper refers to it as her "naval string" (umbilical cord), which was saved and attached to the grave.
- Schoolgirls tie a live beetle to a bit of string on a rusty nail, the goal being to see how long it will keep trying to free itself before it rips its own leg off. Sergeant Howie finds this incredibly cruel.
- A dead rabbit is found in a grave, partially disemboweled. Sergeant Howie throws it at Lord Summerisle in disgust.
