violence
A man is menaced by a gang who surround him, and a metal pipe is brought down heavily on his foot but without strong detail. A fight breaks out at a wedding reception, with a brief series of punches being exchanged.
threat and horror
A couple return home to find their young daughter's bedroom has been vandalised as a warning from a criminal gang. A pirate radio station out at sea comes under gunfire, and a car being chased by police overturns and catches fire, but the occupants get out before it explodes.
language
Moderate bad language ('ponce') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'bloody', 'shit', 'arse', 'arsehole', 'crap', 'balls', 'turd', 'piss', 'bastard', 'up yours', 'cock-up', 'hell' and 'God'.
sex
A man takes photographs of a woman whose bare breasts are seen briefly in a darkly lit setting. A man makes suggestive motions with a microphone stand he is holding.
injury detail
There is mild injury detail in the aftermath of a car crash.
sexual violence and sexual threat
During a concert, a male singer on stage uses his foot to lift the skirt of an unaware woman dancing in front of him.
rude humour
At a concert, a band's lead singer holds up discarded panties and asks if anyone will claim their ownership. Men urinate in a public toilet in undetailed fashion, and a man picks his nose.
alcohol and smoking
People consume alcohol and get drunk. Smoking reflects the times in which the film was made.
