sex
Scenes of strong sex involve breast and buttock nudity as well as partial sight of female genitalia. A couple is shown engaging in fetishistic rough sex in an impressionistic sequence and, in another brief scene, characters watch a pornographic BDSM film.
drugs
Characters smoke marijuana, take hallucinogenic mushrooms and inject drugs.
additional issues
There are shootings and beatings which result in sight of bloody detail. A man is partially stripped and whipped with a belt. There is gun and knife threat. A captured man is bound and then threatened with acid before having his head forcibly shaved. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms which include 'slag', 'shit', 'bastard', 'bloody' and 'screw'. Racial language ('n****r') also occurs in the lyrics of a song playing in the background, and a man is verbally racially abusive to another.
