Sex & Nudity

Mild
9 of 30 found this mild
An extended scene where a man mistakes a womans request to be taken to his home. He proceeds to try and seduce her, revealing blow-up dolls, a bed surrounded my naked female mannequins and a mirrored ceiling, and a porn film. The woman in the porn film is seen undressing to a silky nighty, no nudity. The man doing the attempted seducing takes his shirt and pants off, to his boxers. This is all played for laughs.
A fully dressed woman climbs into bed with a shirtless man. This happens in the morning, suggesting that they slept together. Nothing is seen.
A man and a woman kiss a couple of times.

Violence & Gore

Mild
9 of 13 found this mild
A couple drops of blood are seen dripping into popcorn, followed by a close up of a shirt with a wet, red bloodstain on it.
2 times in the movie, a single knife is thrown, impaling a victim. This happens so quickly both times, it's almost to tell that it's even a knife, especially as there's not even a drop of blood seen either time, and we never see the blade. All that is seen is the hilt sticking out.

Profanity

Mild
11 of 16 found this mild
Several uses of 'God'
3 uses of "shit" and one use of "bitch".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
11 of 16 found this mild
Some cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption in a few scenes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
8 of 16 found this mild
There are a few jump scares with lurking villains, and some younger viewers may find the Albino (Whitey Jackson) a bit frightening.
Aside from the Karate fight and the woman pushing the short man out of the window, the violence is not presented in a comic manner.
