Sex & Nudity
-
- Several women are shown topless making drugs, breasts visible.
- A woman is shown in her bra and thong panties.
- A sex scene, the woman is seen from the back.
- There's a short but sexy pool scene.
- Some sexually explicit dialogue, as there's a lot of sex in this movie, but not to the point of obscene.
- A man holds a gun to a naked man's head. He is shown nude from behind.
Violence & Gore
-
- Just a gory, brutal movie altogether, and assuming there's an uncut version, that might just be NC-17 altogether in content, like violence, language and sex, an abundance of all three being in this movie already.
- A man is thrown from a bridge.
- A man is shot in the ankle, blood sprays.
- A gang invades an apartment building and terrorizes the residents.
- A man with dreads is shot in the head from the side at point blank range, graphically shown as brain matter flies out the other side
- A man is stabbed through the hand with a sword-cane, but not much blood is shown.
- A man is hit over the head with a bottle.
- A man's throat is cut, no visible blood but done with a very loud sound effect of the knife cutting through flesh and bone.
- Mobsters armed with machine guns fire upon unarmed victims, several people are hit with bloody bullet wounds shown.
- Five men are gunned down in a drive-by shooting, bloody bullet wounds shown.
- Two men fight and one is beaten quite badly then thrown off a fire escape.
- A man is shot in the chest, blood sprays and he then falls from a staircase onto the floor below.
Profanity
-
- Non-stop hard R profanity. Definitely earned its 18 rating in the UK.
- Cinemax content advisory for this movie: rated R for graphic violence (GV), graphic language (GL), nudity (N), and adult content (AC)
- Cinemax content advisory for this movie (February - June 1994): rated R for graphic violence, graphic language, brief nudity, adult situations, and adult humor.
- Copious R-rated profanity (most of it from Ice T's character), 40 of "fuck" "shit" "motherfucker" etc. Women are constantly referred to as "bitches". A few racial slurs for blacks is used.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The entire movie is based around gangsters manufacturing and selling crack cocaine, including depictions of crack smoking and addiction.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Rated R18+ ( Occasional Graphic Violence, Graphic Course Language, & Drug References )
- This movie set the stage for darker hood movies, like "Fresh," "Deep Cover," "Belly" and "New Jersey Drive." Almost no light moment in this clearly hard R movie. And the opening scene of Nino throwing a man off the bridge, so non-qualm-ly, is extremely chilling. 99% of the movie is just dark, murderous in nature. There is also a real sense of dread that Nino might go unpunished.
- The atmosphere of the movie is violent.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Nino shoots his brother in the head, blood sprays.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The assassination attempt in which Wesley Snipes' character uses a little girl as a human shield may be considered intense/frightening to some viewers. The entire movie centers around gang violence and drug wars.
