Sex & Nudity
-
- During the making of Glen or Glenda, Dolores takes off her sweater and gives it to Ed Wood. We see her wearing a bra.
- Bunny (who is a small character in the movie) tells he is going to have his sex change. The last thing he says is "Good-bye, penis". Later on in the movie he reveals that he didn't get one cause the doctor was a "quack" this scene is supposed to be comedic
- There are references to cross dressing and "transvestites" through the movie. Although nothing is ever shown besides one quick scene of a man trying to cast another man who looks as if he's cross dressing in his movie.
- All the sexual content in this movie is supposed to be comedic. This movie is only R for its infrequent strong profanity

Together, they run from them. A young girl ducks on the hood of a taxi and they all enter as the audience chases them.
- A woman throws household items at her boyfriend including glass items and comically chases him around with a frying pan.
