Sex & Nudity

  • The genitalia of both Kömorzsoló and Vasgyúró can be seen during their duel with Fanyüvö, though this requires freeze-framing. Their pubic hair is briefly visible at the end of the film. Like anything in the film, they aren't drawn realistically, but are heavily stylized in the style of simplistic Hungarian folk art.
  • Sexual imagery throughout the film, some mild, some more blatant. This is part of the film's symbolism.
  • The main heroes have heavily stylized birth sequences, with the scene's shapes and colors clearly resembling his mother's (a goddess transformed into a horse) vagina. The main character is later shown suckling several times.
  • Two mountains are made to look like gigantic knees, with a river flowing from its nether regions.
  • Several characters have bare behinds which are often shown.
  • The main character's sword and the way its handle stick out from between his legs is a deliberate phallic symbol. He's visibly unnerved when the Fall Princess touches it.
  • Said princess is quite under-dressed, with visible breasts, nipples and pubes in some shots. The three-headed dragon gropes her in lust.
  • The three-headed dragon has visible testicles. His seven-headed brother has a giant, phallic cannon.

Violence & Gore

  • Heavy but extremely stylized fantasy violence. Characters and monsters are dismembered, decapitated, shackled by chains, strangled, or plain beaten-up. Due to the trippy visuals, there is little actual gore and very few violent acts are depicted in a realistic manner.

Profanity

  • In the film's original dialogue, the goblin calls himself the "Kapanyelü Facika", which is archaic Hungarian meaning "Hoe Handle-Sized Dick". This however isn't a profanity, it's just a humorous fairy tale name. The film's English translations routinely ignore this moniker.
  • Uses of the word "Hell" refer to the actual place. Some subtitles may contain a few "damn"s.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Main character drinks a glass of energy-giving wine.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some scenes feature flashing lights that could inconvenience epileptic viewers, though these lights only appear briefly.
  • The entire movie is highly abstract, surreal and some might say psychedelic, which might be unsettling to some viewers. The unnatural, alien sound design and the at times eerie atmosphere adds to this.
  • There are many intense scenes throughout, though all of it is heavily stylized in a dreamlike fashion. Although based on folk tales traditionally told to young children, they may find the movie's out-there imagery, the monster designs, as well as the nudity disturbing.
