The Gates

Shootings occur, resulting in large spurts of blood.

Sequences involve gun threat and standoffs, and people being chased by enemies.

There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’) as well as use of milder terms such as ‘pussy’, ‘bitch’, ‘asshole’, ‘shit’, ‘ass’, ‘hell’, ‘damn’ and ‘God’. There is also infrequent reclaimed use of racial language (‘n***a’).

There is a brief visual reference to BDSM when a man walks in on a couple at a party.

There is racist behaviour, but all such discrimination is clearly condemned by characters in the film.

Joint smoking occurs in one scene.

One sequence features a brief sense of sexual threat, though this is quickly interrupted.

Blood is seen on and around a body in the aftermath of violence.
