Violence & Gore

  • Very over-the-top comic violence.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scenes involving the Illinois Nazis don't involve racial slurs, but could be uncomfortable for some viewers to watch.
  • The brothers are chased throughout most of the film, but it's all played for comedy. A woman tries to kill them through various methods involving powerful handmade weapons.
