language
There is moderate bad language ('bitch') as well as milder terms which include 'harlot', 'bloody', 'bastard', 'hell' and 'damn'.
sex
A character refers to a woman as 'a nympho' when he sees her letting a man into her building. There are undetailed verbal references to sex and mention of men attempting to seduce women. Characters kiss and cuddle in bed and it is implied people have sex. There are moments of innuendo throughout the film.
additional issues
There are brief comic uses of the term 'rape'; these lack detail and do not refer to any incidents of actual sexual violence within the film. A character approaches another and, it is strongly implied, strangles him. There is very little visual detail of this attack. A character makes an undetailed verbal reference to cocaine. There is a dated, discriminatory use of the term 'negro'. A man makes sexist remarks about women. A character shoots a rabbit off-screen and then picks up the carcass. There are occasional scenes of threat. Characters drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes.
