violence
There is a scene in which a character is dragged into an alleyway and raped. Another sequence features the same character being sexually assaulted by a giant lobster. Both sequences of sexual violence feature thrusting, but no nudity. Scenes of violence include people being shot and stabbed, in a wholly unrealistic manner. There is some sight of blood and some sight of gore, including a scene of cannibalism.
sex
There is a lengthy sequence in which it is implied a person is being penetrated using a rosary; the penetration is intercut with dramatised scenes depicting the Stations of the Cross. Other sexual scenes include implied oral sex. There are strong verbal sex references, including to pornography and coprophilia.
additional issues
There is breast and buttock nudity in various scenes, in both sexual and non sexual contexts. There are scenes of drug misuse, including heroin injection, marijuana smoking from joints and from a hookah, glue sniffing, and people being forced to take 'acid'. There are visual and verbal references to drug misuse, including to a heroin addict going through 'cold turkey'. There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), as well as occasional strong language ('f**k') and a range of milder terms (including 'whore', 'bitch' and 'slut'). There is also use of discriminatory terms, including 'fags', 'lezzers' and 'dykes'. There are various bad taste scenes, including a man eating vomit.
