The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
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

A quick scene of a geisha having sex with her boyfriend (only a few thrusts are shown). The theme of selling yourself for entertainment is mature. A woman loses her virginity which the person has been bidding for.

A young geisha is gradually stripped of her clothes once being forcefully kissed

Violence & Gore

Two children are forcefully taken from thier parents.

A young girl has cold water thrown over her and is whipped for a crime she did not commit.

Following the above 'checking' scene, the 'mother' slaps the geisha.

A young girl falls off a roof (nothing is really seen, it skips to her being treated by a doctor)

A man breaks a glass with his hand, blood is very briefly shown.

Profanity

Nothing major. A few damns.

Pumpkin calls the American men bastards.

The word whore is used twice.

Characters frequently drink sake and beer.
