There is use of strong language ('f**k'). Milder terms include ‘son of a bitch’, ‘whorehouse’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘bastard’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’ and ‘piss’, in addition to the ‘middle finger’ gesture.
In a comic scene, an inept CIA agent announces plans to drop oversized condoms over Vietnam as an intimidation tactic based on the idea that ‘penis size is very important to Asian people’; however, the plan is immediately ridiculed by others. In another scene an unlikeable white character refers to the Vietnam War as a war for ‘n****rs and no-necks’, as opposed to the ‘thinking man’s war’ in Laos. There is also infrequent casual use of the discriminatory term ‘jap’. The film contains scenes involving opium smuggling and the manufacture of heroin, as well as brief references to marijuana misuse. Moderate violence and threat include gunfire, explosions and aircraft crash sequences, infrequently resulting in brief bloody detail. Sex references, such as ones to sex work, penis size and oral sex, are moderate and infrequently crude.
