Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Two characters have sex. You see them afterwards, in bed naked (no explicit nudity is seen).

One character is implied to have had sex with a woman. They are in bed together, not naked. He gets up and walks away, revealing another woman laying by his other side.

A woman comes out of a fountain, naked. The sides of her breasts are clearly seen, but her hair covers any explicit nudity.

There are a couple of scenes involving implied prostitutes attempting to seduce the Scorpion King.

Brief showing of a woman's genitals, though it is hard to make out and possibly a goof.

It is implied that the sorceress loses her power to see into the future if she has sex.

Violence & Gore

Quite a bit of strong and intense violence involving sword fights, however it is almost completely bloodless (some blood can be seen on the swords used to kill people, however).

Most of the more "graphic" deaths (e.g. throat slitting) are implied (in other words, they occur off-screen).

In one scene of particular note, a man produces a decapitated head, which the camera lingers on for a few moments. The head is pretty graphic, though without a lot of blood.

In another scene that stands-out, the Scorpion King discovers a body impaled on a sharp rock. It is fairly graphic, with the rock clearly going through the dead person. Blood is seen pouring down his wounds.

Profanity

None, really, unless one counts some sexual innuendo.

None, except for some drinks seen at a feast.

Reference is made to the fact that a guard has been drinking (presumably wine) during one scene

Most of the scenes listed under the Violence & Gore section may be intense for some viewers, and may even be frightening to them.

There is a scene where a man is attacked by a swarm of fire ants, this may be intense or scary
