Sex & Nudity

  • After giving Ishmael a high-five, Roy's prosthetic hand flies off the hook and ends up landing on a woman's breast, who is kissing a man, and after he gets his hand back he takes the man's hand and puts it on her breast.
  • A man gets a lap dance in a strip club. In the R rated version this scene is longer.
  • A man is shown having sex with a blow up doll for a few seconds. (R rated version only)
  • Several men are sprayed down with a hose. Their rear ends are shown nude for a few seconds. (R rated version only)
  • One character comes out with a bucket of white colored liquid and says, "I had to get a good tug to get milk out of this cow" and a farmer replies that they don't have a cow; implying he just made a bull ejaculate it's semen.
  • Ishmael is seen dancing on a stage for tips in little clothing
  • Big Ern is asked in an nterview about a pending paternity suit against him and he says "she (the woman suing) is a stone cold liar and he "pulled out of her really early on that one."
  • It's implied that Roy and the landlord slept together. He's in the bathroom throwing up. She's in bed smoking a cigarette. She then gives him the international sign for cunnilingus (spread fingers with a licking motion).
  • In the R-rated cut, the landlady asks Roy to practice his tongue exercises for their next coupling.
  • When Claudia grabs a beer out of the fridge, it is shown that the fridge is very cold inside and her nipples become visible.
  • Claudia wears many outfits that expose her cleavage and at one point stands near a pin setter making her skirt fly up, revealing red panties.
  • In a dream sequence based on the film INDECENT PROPOSAL, it is implied that Roy sells sex with Ishmael to a wealthy homosexual for a million dollars. Roy is tossing loads of cash into the air, while Ishmael lies on the bed with an ice pack on his rear end.
  • Roy and Claudia kiss pationately.

Violence & Gore

  • Being told to take off the biggest horse's shoes, Roy cuts all four of the horse's hooves off, and later in the film the horse was by then shorter than the rest. Played for laughs
  • Roy throws scalding hot coffee in a man's eyes twice to fool his landlord.
  • Some hustled locals smash the back of Ernie's car and then grab Roy and take him inside the bowling alley. There they run his hand into the ball return and Roy screams. Later we see Roy with a prosthetic hand and/or hook, so it's implied that the locals ground his hand up.
  • Roy is seen vomiting twice, once briefly off screen.
  • Roy and Claudia get in a mild fight in a motel parking lot. All played for laughs. No blood whatsoever.
  • Claudia gets hit by her boyfriend. [slightly offscreen]

Profanity

  • One use of the word "prick", but it is barely noticeable unless you have the closed captions on.
  • 20 "s" words, 9 hells, 4 "ass" words, 3 damns, 5 craps, 2 S.O.B.'s, 1 slang term each for female genitals and breasts (the "p" and "t" words respectively), and 2 uses of "God damn" and "Jesus," and 3 uses of "Oh God" as exclamations. 1 use of schmuck, sex, piss and pussy 2 uses of whore, suck, testicles and tits 6 uses of bastard 1 use of screw
  • Also multiple uses of the word "whore"

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Roy is shown to be an alcoholic and a smoker.
  • While trying to hustle another bowler, Roy says that Ishmael was sniffing glue out in the parking lot.
  • Claudia is seen opening a wine bottle and drinking some wine.
  • A man does a bong hit.
  • Ishmael tries a cigarette for the first time and after that is shown smoking regularly.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene where Roy loses his hand, can be upsetting and frightening.
  • Roy has several flashbacks of the landlady spreading her fingers and doing a licking motion. Actually pretty frightening.
