language
There is strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k'), accompanied by milder terms ('cock', 'son of a bitch', 'shit', 'asshole', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God', 'hell', 'damn' and 'jerk').
sex
There are scenes of strong sex, including a sequence of group sex. There is some brief buttock and genital nudity.
