sex
Brief sequences show a pornographic film playing on a television screen at a Japanese ‘love hotel’, although the nudity is obscured by a superimposed black box. The hotel room walls are decorated with sexually explicit paintings, including naked women who appear to be masturbating and a close-up depiction of penetrative intercourse.
additional issues
A misunderstanding leads to a woman telling a man that she will ‘scream rape’ if he tries to touch her. Bad language includes ‘son of a bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘bastard’, ‘tits’, ‘screw you’ and ‘asshole’, in addition to infrequent use of the racist term ‘Charlie’. Other issues include a passing reference to drug dealing.
