THE RING is a sports drama, from 1927, in which two boxers who love the same woman develop a violent rivalry.

language
A comic sequence features a middle finger gesture.
discrimination
There is infrequent use of racist language ('n****r') and discriminatory behaviour.
additional issues
Scenes of violence occur in boxing contexts and in fistfights outside of the ring. A man becomes angry at his wife's affection for another man and behaves aggressively, throwing things and tearing her dress. People smoke throughout, and there are scenes in which people drink alcohol and become drunk. There are very mild sex references, and couples kiss.

violence
Most of the scenes of mild violence take place in the boxing context, although there is also a fistfight between two men outside of the ring. Sight of blood is brief and infrequent.
discrimination
During a scene set at a fairground, visitors to a sideshow attraction laugh as they pelt a black man in a top hat (who is appearing as a 'human coconut shy') with rotten fruit and vegetables. In another scene an onscreen caption reads: "If you win this fight with the n****r, you'll be in the running for the championship". The racist attitudes and language reflect the period in which the film was made.
additional issues
There are scenes of smoking throughout, although the activity is neither glamorised or promoted.
