Sex & Nudity

  • Mild Sexual References
  • A teenage boy is with a female, she takes off her clothes (we only see cleavage on her breasts), implied sex is assumed.
  • One of the high school age boys goes into a brothel with an attractive woman, but this woman was replaced by a fat woman. He runs out.
  • A couple of high school boys get VD, so it's implied that the nurse gives them a shot for it. One boy's buttocks is visible as the nurse gives him a shot.
  • A discussion between high school boys about burning while urinating.
  • A few kisses between husband and wife.

Violence & Gore

  • Some of the boys get into a fight, which is brief, but involves punching, kicking, and throwing to the ground.
  • A boy shoots a dolphin with a harpoon, and we see the dolphin partially covered in blood. Skipper then takes a hammer to its head (only the sound effects are heard, with some mild amounts of blood sprayed up).
  • There is talk of a boy who fell from a tree, broke his neck, and died. He wasn't found by his parents until the morning after because they were arguing.

Profanity

  • Frequent use of ass, damn, shit. Jesus is used.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Intense and long scene of ship sinking including the failed attempt to rescue two of ship's passengers.
