violence
After a man’s throat is cut, another man punches him in the neck and accidentally gets his hand stuck in the wound, with gruesome visual detail. Further strong comedic violence includes bloody shootings and stabbings, a gory decapitation, and a sequence of suffocation using a plastic bag. In another scene a dog is thrown out of an upper story window, without sight of injury detail.
threat and horror
There are moderate scenes of knife and gun threat.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’) and implied very strong language (‘the C-word’), as well as frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘pussy’, ‘whore’, ‘bitch’, ‘dick’, ‘dickhead’, ‘nutsack’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘tits’, ‘asshole’, ‘ass’, ‘son of a bitch’ and ‘piss’, in addition to use of the ‘middle finger’ gesture.
sex
Occasional crude sex references include a comic reference to ‘fisting’.
discrimination
Various villains make sexist comments or mock the main character’s weight; however, discrimination is not endorsed.
drugs
People snort cocaine or consume strong cannabis edibles, resulting in comic scenes involving hallucinations and intoxicated behaviour. There are also occasional verbal references to misuse of drugs including steroids, speed, ecstasy and marijuana.
injury detail
A sequence of comic gore shows a man struggling to remove his fist from a wound in another man’s neck, until the victim is inadvertently decapitated by a passing train. In another scene a man battles nausea while attempting to remove a stick impaling a woman’s leg. A dream sequence features a brief comic image of a severed scrotum.
rude humour
There is occasional mild rude humour such as toilet humour, non-sexualised rear nudity and a sequence of projectile vomiting.
