Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this new feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes .
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

when the fake trailers are playing, Alpha Chinos hit song "I Luv Tha Pussy" is playing while he advertises Booty Sweat Drink and Bust-A-Nut Bars, There is also scantily clad women who bounce their hips off his head.

the next fake trailer is for a movie about gay Catholic priests (this may offend some Catholics)

in the UNRATED version, Peck is seen reading a black and white Playboy where some breasts are visible, however, it is VERY brief (blink and youll miss it)

Jeff gives a speech about a graphic sexual act he will perform with Alpha if he unties him from the tree

other jokes involving male and female private parts

Violence & Gore

A main theme of the movie involves actors who think they are making a war movie but then actually have to become real soldiers to fight off a drug cartel.

the very beginning of the movie is very fake but very graphic (this is when theyre still filming the movie) similar to the opening of Saving Private Ryan (lots of people getting shoting the face and sliced open with bayonets...all graphic but very fake)

Tugg is then shown with severed hands (very fake, but very graphic)

Tugg (offscreen) kills a panda then proceeds to wear its skin to fit in with the jungle

several shootouts between Alpa and Lincoln and the drug cartel (surprisingly, no one dies, or at least no one dies onscreen)

Halfsquat is stabbing Tugg, and Tugg throws him off the bridge

Tugg is shown drinking blood from a severed head, which he then impales on his rifle and kicks into the jungle

Profanity

Non-stop profanity which includes 124 uses of the "F"-word

"S" words aswell

in the UNRATED version, There is one use of the "N"-word

Many uses of the word "Retard"

several characters smoke cigars and cigarettes, including an underage child (which may upset some people)

Jeff is a drug addict and is seen going through spasms while trying to quit.

The main antagonist are heroin processors.

A large mound of heroin is seen.

Alpa refers to getting high and watching one of Tugg's movies

Tugg is hiding in the jungle at night by himself when an unknown creature attacks him. He battles with the creature intensely. It is then shown it was a Panda bear. He then wears the Pandas skin, which may upset PETA members.

the way that Simple Jack is joked upon may upset families with mentally challenged children, siblings, etc.
