THE AMAZING JONATHAN DOCUMENTARY follows a film crew as they compete with rival productions to make a documentary on the terminally ill comedian and magician.
- Drugs
Frequent references are made to drug misuse, including cocaine, speed and crystal meth, as well as sequences of implied drug misuse including smoking from pipes and snorting cocaine. However, the work as a whole does not condone or endorse drug misuse.
- Language
There is use of strong language ('f**k').
- Disturbing images
Archive footage is played of the on-stage death of comedian Tommy Cooper.
There are infrequent bloody moments and comic gore during The Amazing Jonathan's stage act, which depict him sticking pointed objects through his tongue, pulling razors from his mouth, drinking bleach, and seemingly hacking his arm with a machete. However, these are part of his allusions and comic stage show. There are also moderate sex references.
