Sex & Nudity

  • In the opening scene, a mans buttocks and a woman's breasts are very briefly shown. The nudity is so hard to see (due to the camera moving a lot) that it's almost unnoticeable and can be easily missed.
  • There is a scene were several men talk about wanting to have sex with a particular man's wife. This sentiment is repeated many times using f*** and f***ing.
  • There are references to rape throughout.
  • During the ending credits some still black & white photos of indigenous natives are shown, which include nudity.

Violence & Gore
