violence
Occasional scenes include explosions and undetailed shootings using machine guns and shotguns, resulting in large blood spurts. There are infrequent head explosions which occur within a comic context and lack any detail. There is also fleeting sight of a bloody gunshot wound as well as brief sight of a character’s severed legs in a magazine article. Milder moments include fight scenes featuring undetailed martial arts style kicks and punches.
threat and horror
Mild scenes of threat include a pair of children running from a helicopter looming above, however, this is part of a staged reenactment. There is also brief archive footage of rioting amid a period of political instability in Uganda; this includes sight of a building which had been set on fire.
language
Infrequent strong language occurs (‘f**k’), as well as milder terms including ‘crap’, ‘shit’, ‘son of a bitch’, ‘freaking’, ‘hell’ and ‘Jesus Christ’.
sex
There is a moderate sex reference when the production crew joke about the large size of condoms as they fill them with fake blood.
nudity
There is brief and discreet sexualised breast nudity when a character flicks through an adult magazine.
