THE GREAT ESCAPE II: THE UNTOLD STORY is a US WWII action drama, from 1988, in which two POWs escape a stalag and later join a task force to hunt down the Nazis who executed 50 recaptured escapees.
violence
Moderate violence includes undetailed shootings and punches, infrequently resulting in mild bloody aftermath detail. There are also mild references to the torture and execution of prisoners, by methods such as flogging and guillotining.
threat and horror
Scenes of moderate threat include shootouts and chase sequences, as well as ones in which escaped POWs are arrested and executed by the Gestapo.
discrimination
There is infrequent use of discriminatory terms (e.g. ‘woofter’).
suicide and self-harm
There is brief sight of the shadow of a hanging body in the aftermath of an off-screen suicide. Other scenes feature passing verbal references to suicide.
sexual violence and sexual threat
Investigators are shown a classical-style mural which depicts satyrs accosting naked women, with breast and buttock nudity. The investigators are told that the satyrs were painted with the faces of Gestapo officers who assaulted local women, so that the Resistance movement could identify them.
additional issues
Bad language includes ‘bugger’, ‘bastard’, ‘bloody hell’, ‘crap’, ‘damn’, ‘imbecile’, ‘lunatic’ and ‘God’. It is implied that a member of the French Resistance is conducting a sexual relationship with a Nazi officer in order to manipulate him for the cause, although no sexual activity is shown on screen. In another scene, women implied to be sex workers are very briefly shown waving and beckoning to drunken revellers.
