sex
A woman straddles her lover during a scene of strong sex, with accompanying riding detail; we later see a naked man kissing and caressing the body of a naked woman. These scenes feature sexualised breast nudity, as well as brief and infrequent sight of sexualised genital nudity.
sexual violence and sexual threat
An outlaw forcibly undresses a distressed woman and sexually assaults her. There is an element of ambiguity around consent as the victim eventually appears to enthusiastically participate. However, sexual violence is not condoned by the work as a whole.
Occasional shootings occur, accompanied by large blood spurts. A heavily blood-stained character is shown lying on the ground in the aftermath of violence. A professional wrestler exchanges crunchy blows with villainous characters during scenes of hand-to-hand combat. There is use of mild bad language ('bastard', 'ass'), as well as very mild bad language ('damn'). Characters affected by leprosy are presented with grotesque-looking facial and bodily disfigurements, and people scream and flee in fear of being infected with leprosy. However, they are ultimately treated with sympathy. There are also scenes of gun threat throughout.
