Waitresses wear revealing outfits.
Two brief "tape" playbacks of a scene with a couple having sex. Once showing the woman in bra and panties, and later showing the woman's breasts during intercourse, when one of the characters plays back the image stored to pleasure himself.

Violence & Gore

Mild
7 of 9 found this mild
There is an extended scene where a manufacturing facility is caused to go beserk and destroy itself. Some of this is comical. At one point a guard points a gun at a robotic arm, telling it to stop.
