Sex & Nudity

Moderate
106 of 289 found this moderate
Half the movie takes places in a strip bar, where topless women are seen periodically.
One of the Gecko brothers daydreamed that the Fuller girl briefly asked him for oral sex.
One character is said and shown to have a foot fetish.
A boy drinks beer with an girls feet he starts sucking on her toes.
TONS of rape.
Women dance seductively in a bar while a bunch of male spectators watch.
Some sexual references.

Violence & Gore

Severe
135 of 148 found this severe
A person is shot in the head at point blank range. Blood is splattered on the face of a person standing close by. This person is then shot in the shoulder, lots of blood.
A person is shot in the hand, and we see the hole through his hand on occasions. There is a short shootout which ends when a man is doused in alcohol and then set on fire. He screams in pain but continues to shoot as he burns.
A man rapes and kills a hostage in a motel bedroom. This happens offscreen but there are some split-second shots of the victim and the blood-covered room.
A man is beaten up and later complains about a broken finger and a broken nose.
Not very disturbing as it is very unrealistic
Violent and gory, but not the most violent or the goriest.
Most of the time the film chooses to not show the gory parts and just splat blood.
Strong violence and gore.
The violence is mostly cheesy and unrealistic: tons of vampires exploding and heads spewing body fluids and collapsing.
Countless vampires are staked, shot, impaled, beaten up, blown up, set on fire, and ripped apart with blood splattering everywhere.

Profanity

Severe
120 of 149 found this severe
Use of profanity throughout.
Frequent strong language, no less than 105 uses of the f word, a lot of it is use in anger and a lot of uses of the s word. Some PG-13 level obscenities are also present.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Moderate
74 of 149 found this moderate
A man is seen smoking a cigar for roughly 10 minutes of the film.
A fair amount of drinking, but not much else.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
94 of 144 found this severe
Despite being gory and violent, this movie doesn't take itself too seriously.
A man is seen on fire and shooting for some seconds before he presumably dies in an explosion.
Other parts could also be intense (perhaps). But the overall movie is more crime thriller than horror, and it's actually one of Rodriguez's softer stories.
