violence
Mild fantasy violence occurs as a character dodges lasers and large explosions within a video game. During a darkly lit sequence, a hero character rams a wheelchair into the back of a villain’s chair which knocks him to the floor. Other moments include hitting a villain across their back with a wooden log, however, this lacks any focus on detail.
threat and horror
During a fantastical sequence, characters watch footage of an accident in which a car flips over and screams can be heard. This is accompanied by infrequent, brief verbal references to the loss of a parent and to injuries sustained in the aftermath of the accident. The sequence forms part of a wider narrative about providing emotional support to the protagonist and the issue of bereavement is treated with sensitivity.
injury detail
Mild injury detail includes sight of blood on a character’s arm in the aftermath of an accident.
additional issues
An actor wears a costume and briefly puts on a fake accent to portray another ethnicity during a comic sequence. This discriminatory stereotype is reflective of the period in which the film was made.
