violence
Scenes of strong violence include a man being stabbed in the throat with a piece of sharp wood and a man being stabbed in the thigh with a metal pole. In another sequence women in a brothel are beaten and stomped on, and have their heads forcibly shaved.
drugs
There are two scenes in which a character smokes a cigarette to which an unidentified white powder has been added. He smokes the cigarette through his nose and the narcotic effect is both clear and immediate.
additional issues
Other issues include moderate sex references and innuendo, a scene of pixilated female breast nudity as passengers on a ship watch a scene from the film Titanic, and moderate and mild bad language, including use of 'ass', 'bloody', buggers, crap and 'whore'.
