THE INCIDENT is a 1967 black and white American drama about two street thugs who board a subway train and torment the passengers.
- Threat
The two thugs repeatedly threaten the different groups of passengers, but this is mostly restricted to verbal abuse and some humiliation. Occasionally, characters are grabbed roughly.
- Violence
A man is mugged and then killed with a blow to the head that is hidden from view and further blows to his prone body off screen. Another man is stabbed with no detail of the injury and only a glimpse of blood on his shirt.
- Discrimination
A man is called a 'fag' and a 'queer'. Another man is called a 'nigger' and told that 'black is like dirt' and that there is a bad 'nigger smell'. The film as a whole condemns this behaviour.
- Sex
Moderate sex references include a man telling a woman 'I just dig your jugs' while another woman is asked 'who are you saving it for?' as her boyfriend tries to pressurise her into going home with him for sex. There is also a brief moment of sexual threat.
Other issues include some mild bad language, including uses of 'crap'. Some characters are also seen smoking.
