Violence & Gore

  • Some cartoonish violence and some realistic violence. Although always fairly mild, blood is shown in several scenes.
  • Tommy is bullied by his older cousin in one scene, although it is comical, and played for laughs. Any violence in the scene is fairly slapstick, comedic, and very mild with no blood.

Profanity

  • Many people believe that Uncle Ernie uses the word "shite" but he is saying "shout", he just has a thick accent
  • None. The film only features music, with no spoken dialogue. The music contains no explicit lyrics.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There is smoking, drinking, and strong drug-use in the film.
  • Use of LSD and Marijuana in separate sequences.
  • There is a long scene in which Tommy is injected with dozens of needles of LSD by "The Acid Queen", a drug obsessed prostitute. This is the most adult scene in the film.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The ending can upset some people.
  • The entire scene with the Acid Queen is very disturbing stuff for a PG-rated movie, and the hallucinations she inflicts upon poor Tommy in a drug iron maiden might be unsettling.
  • Characters such as Uncle Ernie, The Acid Queen, or Cousin Kevin can scare children.
  • Some scenes in the film are about war, which may upset some people.
  • Some of the hallucinations are really quirky and strange, these scenes may frighten some younger viewers.
