A ffull frontal naked woman waits for a young man at his doorstop. The man's friends freaks out at the sight of her. People in the house dress the naked, bruised woman.

A man and a woman have sex. We see her fully nude body and a brief shot of his rear.

A man watches a woman take off her clothes through the cracks in a closet.

Violence & Gore

A man shoots another man in the face. We slowly see his face destroyed by the bullet. The shot produces alot of blood and gore.

There's a room with two dead people. One is standing up, his face covered in blood and the other is in a chair, one of them is missing his ear.

A man finds a decomposing severed ear in a field of grass.

Profanity

Excessive use of the f-word, many of them in sexual context and screamed by a crazy man in almost every sentence, . Frank Booth, played by Dennis Hopper. . There are also some other swears, less frequent, including "sh**" and "pu**y".

There are many scenes featuring Dennis Hopper's character snorting gas from a mask, which appears to be N2O. There are also scenes of men drinking beer.

Dennis Hopper's character has a very disturbing nature and most scenes involving him are very scary and unsettling. Nothing appropriate for children in this film.
