violence
Strong violence includes bloody shootings. A man is beaten and waterboarded during a comic scene of torture. Another person is stabbed, resulting in moderate bloody aftermath detail.
language
There is use of very strong language (‘c**t’), in addition to frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘shag’, ‘twat’, ‘wanker’, ‘prick’, ‘cock’, ‘dick’, ‘gash’, ‘minge’, ‘slag’, ‘piss’, ‘bollocks’, ‘shit’, ‘bastard’, ‘tits’, ‘arsehole’ and ‘arse’.
sex
There are frequent crude verbal sex references, in addition to infrequent comic sex scenes featuring vigorous thrusting detail.
discrimination
There is occasional casual use of discriminatory language, including the Cockney rhyming slang terms ‘iron’, ‘brass’ and ‘raspberry ripple’.
drugs
There is a sustained comic sequence of salvia misuse, as well as frequent verbal and visual references to the misuse and distribution of drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man gets into a fist fight shortly after taking Viagra and developing a tentpole erection; the fight ends with him pinning one of his opponents with his body and intimidating him with comically exaggerated threats of sexual violence. In another scene a woman engineers violent reprisals against a man by falsely accusing him of raping her. There are also infrequent references to sexual harassment, and casual uses of the terms ‘nonce’ and ‘paedo’.
suicide
The film contains occasional references to off-screen suicide.
