discrimination
There is a scene of racism in which a white man describes himself as working 'as hard as a n****r' in front of his black servants. There is also a scene in which a man aggressively shouts at a Chinese character calling him 'Chiney' and a 'stupid chink'.
nudity
There are scenes of breast nudity within a sexualised context.
additional issues
Moderate violence includes shoot out scenes and punch ups. A man is executed in prison, and there is brief sight of him hanging from a noose. Another man is chained to a post and briefly whipped. There is also the occasional sight of bloody injury detail. A man attempts to hang himself with a belt but it transpires that it was all part of a con, and he never intended to end his life. A brief scene of moderate sex contains sexual moaning. The film also features mild bad language ('son of a bitch', 'ass', 'shit', 'bastard', 'crap' and 'tits') and very mild terms ('God', 'damn' and 'hell').
