violence
Moderate violence includes a prolonged fist fight in which a man repeatedly punches another in the face.

Heightened moments of moderate threat occur in which people argue aggressively and threaten each other with violence. A man destroys a kitchen, soaking himself in food stuff and smashing up equipment. References are made to knife threat.
language
Infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t') and frequent use of strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'pussy', 'son of a bitch', 'dickhead', 'whore', 'slag', 'balls', 'bastard', 'bullshit' and 'asshole'. Middle finger rude gestures are made.
sex
