violence
There is strong bloody violence when a man is hacked to death, and when a Vietnamese civilian is shot by a machine gun with sight of bloody impact detail. Injury detail is also gory when a US soldier is seen screaming in pain after having his legs blown off and when a severed head is dropped into the lap of another man.
language
There is strong language ('f**k').
additional issues
There is an unsimulated scene of animal killing when a bullock is slaughtered with a machete. There are also uses of racist language, including terms such as 'slopes', 'dinks' and 'gooks', and brief images of sexualised nudity when topless women are seen posing in magazines. Soldiers are also seen smoking marijuana.

There is sight of gory injuries, including one man attempting to hold in his guts, and sight of severed heads.

There is a sequence in which a naked woman walks around a bed on which a man is lying. There is also sight of soft-core 'pin up' images from porn magazines, showing breast nudity. There is also some non sexual nudity, including when corpses are seen.
disturbing images
There is a scene in which a bull is killed using a machete. While the killing is real, the blow kills the animal immediately by severing its spinal cord.

The film also contains a few crude verbal sex references, drug misuse and drug references, and verbal references to suicide. There is a sequence in which a real bull is actually killed using a machete. The animal's spine is severed immediately meaning the kill is both quick and clean and the scene does not comprise a "cruel infliction of pain or terror" in a manner than contravenes the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937 or BBFC Guidelines and policy.
