violence
Strong violence includes shootings and the use of bladed weapons to slash, stab, dismember and decapitate, as well as heavy beatings with fists, kicks and improvised weapons. The violence is presented in a stylised, cartoon-like fashion accompanied by exaggerated bloodshed, and includes a person exploding in a shower of gore.
threat and horror
There is gun and knife threat. In another scene homeowners encounter robbers during a home invasion.
language
Strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') is accompanied by reclaimed language ('n***a') and milder terms like 'pussy', 'bitch', 'dick', 'shit', 'ass', 'piss', 'damn', 'hell' and 'God.'
sex
A brief scene of cunnilingus occurs, and there are sexualised images in the adult section of a video store. References are also made to oral sex, masturbation, fingering, cunnilingus, and sexual arousal.
discrimination
Racist, antisemitic, sexist, misogynistic and homophobic discrimination, including uses of terms such as 'faggot', is featured, but is implicitly condemned by the film as a whole. There are also uses of reclaimed racial language ('n***a').
drugs
People snort cocaine and smoke crack pipes.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A black woman is sexually harassed by a white police officer using racially charged innuendo as pick up lines, this behaviour is challenged and clearly condemned.
suicide and self-harm
A man contemplates suicide, pressing a gun to his temple, but is interrupted.
