Parents Guide for
The Terminator (1984) More at IMDbPro »

Two instances of male nudity (buttocks are seen). Darkness prevents us from seeing full-frontal male nudity, although if you look hard enough, you can see his balls.

A couple is supposedly having sex under the covers. Shown for about 5 seconds. Not very graphic at all

A man describes sexual foreplay in a telephone call, and is later seen passionately kissing a woman on a bed with his head through her shirt.

A sex scene, in which breasts are seen.

A rather violent movie, very many killings. Scenes of mention are:

A punk is killed by getting punched through the chest. The Terminator's bloody hand is seen.

A woman is shot several times, off-screen. Later, a police photograph of her corpse is briefly seen.

In one sequence many police officers are shot and killed.

Several people are darkly shot apart with a large laser/machine gun weapon.

The Terminator cuts open his arm with a scalpel, bloody flesh is shown, moments later it does the same to its eye.

Towards the end the Terminator receives damage to his face and his metal endoskeleton shows through.

10 F-words and its derivatives (2 of them are seen on the Terminator's display screen when he's trying to find a way to respond to a question), some milder language (sh**, a**hole,)

Some characters are seen smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages.

Pretty much most of the movie could be considered frightening and intense, since the Terminator is constantly chasing and killing.

The last section when the Terminator starts to fall apart is probably the most intense. The T-800 metal endoskeleton is very creepy and inhuman.
