violence
In a sequence of comic violence, a man attempts to shoot two other people and then himself; no one is hurt, however. Milder violence includes a comedic fistfight without resultant injury detail. There is a comic and non-graphic verbal reference to sexual role play based on the Rape of Lucretia. In another scene a man yells the word 'rape' when physically threatened by another man.
language
Mild bad language includes 'bloody'.
sex
Mild sex references occur when a woman attempts to engage a man in various role play scenarios. In another scene the camera focuses on a woman's clothed chest as she dances; we also see a pair of men staring at her, open-mouthed. A woman strips down to her underwear and asks a man to 'make love' to her.
discrimination
There is infrequent use of discriminatory terms including 'fruit'.
additional issues
There are frequent comic references to Hitler and Nazi Germany, including sight of dancers in Nazi uniforms carrying swastikas and performing Nazi salutes. Non-graphic verbal drug references include a character by the name of LSD. Other issues include scenes of smoking.
