Sex & Nudity

A teen boy tricks the Spanish cleaning woman by telling her (in Spanish with English subtitles) that the homeowner's "sexual torture devices" are kept in the attic.

A teen boy positions his rear view mirror to look at a girl's panties up her skirt.

A boy teases a teenager about "makin' it" with a girl and her mom.

A teen boy makes a wish at a wishing well that he will "make it" with a lead female character.

A couple of kissing scenes between teens/preteens.

Violence & Gore

Adventure and action including chase sequences and adult threats to children with guns and swords.

A man pretends to hang himself in order to escape from prison.

A boy is locked in the trunk of a car with a corpse that has a bullet wound to its head.

A main character has a grotesquely deformed face, purportedly from being dropped by his mother when he was a baby.

A villain threatens to puree a boy's fingers, hand and then arm in a blender.

A boy confesses to knocking his sister down stairs and blaming it on his dog (relating a story--the episode he tells about happened in the past and is not shown).

A boy relates a story about dumping fake vomit from a movie theater balcony onto people below, causing patrons to actually vomit on each other.

Men wrestle/knock heads/try to choke each other.

Human corpses are shown in various states of decomposition, most depicted having died violent deaths.

Children escape death by multiple booby-traps throughout the movie.

Profanity

Moderate profanity (Sh*t, bullsh*t, holy sh*t, balls, damn, etc.), said multiple times by both children and adults throughout the film.

The s-bomb is edited out in ABC Family airings, though minced oaths replacing the s-bombs are heard in the TBS version.

A teen boy plays a trick on a Spanish cleaning woman by telling her (in Spanish with English subtitles) that she needs to "always sort the drugs" into the appropriate drawers, citing cocaine, heroin and speed.
