sexual violence and sexual threat
There are scenes in which women are subjected to rape and sexual assault.
additional issues
Scenes of strong sex are accompanied by breast and buttock nudity, and there are also strong verbal sex references. Violence includes exchanges of gunfire, stabbing and slashing with bladed weapons, and heavy blows with improvised weapons. In one scene, a dog is shot and, in another, a cow is thrown from a height in order to kill it for meat. There is a scene in which a man uses drugs intravenously. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), and milder terms including 'bitch', 'slut', 'dick', 'pussy', 'shit', 'bastard', 'arse' and 'balls'. There is also use of discriminatory language ('Jap').
