Parents Guide for
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo. (1966) More at IMDbPro »

This film is VERY tame for an 18 in the UK and R in the USA. Most kids 12+ would be fine with it.



Note: The number at the beginning of each section refers to how much explicit content of that kind there is in the film on a scale of 1-10. The fraction at the end of the last section is the total sum of the sections over the highest sum possible (50) and is therefore an approximation of about how explicit the film is a whole.

Sex & Nudity: 3

Profanity:7



Through the first few scenes in the film a character consistently refers to another character as a bastard and a son of a bitch. There is one use of the word 'Bullshit'. The language is mild and there is one use of g-ddamn

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:2

Characters are shown frequently drinking and smoking.

Frightening/Intense Scenes:6

There are some intense and suspenseful gun fights.

Several men are nearly hung.

A man leaves and taunts another man by leaving him in the desert to burn and die. However, the man is later rescued when circumstances change.

A man is heavily and brutally beaten.

An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e. THIS); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 17 (i.e. Braveheart); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saving Private Ryan), and 40-50 is going to be hard R to NC-17 (i.e. Pulp Fiction).

Total Explicit Content Estimation:25
