Sex & Nudity
-
- A woman takes off her shirt, showing her breasts, before she is shown in bed with a man (sex implied but not dwelled on).
- A stripper dressed as a nun performs a striptease on a stage while a group of men play cards around a table. Eventually she gets down to just underwear, with tassles on her breasts covering only her nipples, and heels.
- No male nudity shown.
- Some sexually explicit dialogue. But not too pervasive.
- A young woman is naked and dazed in a sequence showing crack smoking.
Violence & Gore
-
- See "Frightening/Intense Scenes" below.
Profanity
-
- Non-stop hard R language. F-words (non-sexually and sexually alike), "p***y", etc.. Hard R. Some uses of the greeting "n***a" (the black greeting) as well.
- Lots of racial slurs (mostly "n****r"). Some anti-white slurs (towards David) and anti-black slurs, alike, on Barbosa's part.
- Realistic use of street language, including profanity and obscenity.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- One sequence shows a group sharing a crack pipe.
- People throughout snort cocaine powder or smoke crack.
- Selling, buying and using narcotics is prevalent, being the basis of the story.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A very intense movie. Not for the faint of heart. And the movie earns its hard R rating. Lots of cursing, sex, drugs and violence. And some very nasty human beings try to hurt Russell.
- This movie is like a predecessor to "Fresh" and "187," with a lot of chilling scenes which makes you ponder society's capability towards needless violence.
- Considerable violence. People are shot dead. A man is beaten to death with a pool cue.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
- During the final standoff David shoots Stevens' partner, and Stevens reveals himself to be a police officer, causing David to shoot his partner. It's an intense scene and a conclusion. The thought provoking ending is also chilling too (the monologue Russell gives).
- Carver is a plotting & opportunistic man. At the end he wants the credit for himself, and unlike what most movies show about racism, he's not asking him to deny that he's a "Friends"-watching (exaggeration since "Friends" wouldn't exist for another 2, 3 years) a**hole, rather than the operation was not a failure. Of course this backfires on him. This also shows that he is a true racist and that his "n..er" saying was not just professional. He antagonizes Russell from the beginning of the movie.
