There are a couple of mild sexual suggestions in the beginning of the movie.

| violence |
A couple of violent battle sequences. There is slashing and stabbing throughout and the blunt ends of weapons are often used. Multiple men are hit on the head/face (shots cut). Sometimes heads and limbs are very quickly chopped off with little blood. In a few scenes, men are shot with arrows and horses and riders are thrown and killed.
Survivors are seen searching among the dead for their loved ones on the field after a battle
A brief fist fight and struggle breaks out between English soldiers and Scots villagers; a knife is held to a man's throat.
An attempted rape is thwarted by biting and hitting (with a rock).
A woman on horseback is struck in the face with a long stick, knocking her semi-unconscious
A soldier slits a woman's throat with a knife. (The shot is from the back.)
A severed head is pulled out of a box in close-up briefly.
A man's face is briefly seen smashed by a ball and chain.
A man is tortured and killed by stretching, racking, gutting, and beheading. (off-screen for the most part, and more emotional than violent)
A young man is hurled from a window, falling to his death.
Wallace traps a group of English soldiers in a hut which he then burns

| profanity |
2 uses use of 'fuck'.
2 uses of 'bitch' by the rapist.
About 3 or 4 shits and 5-7 bastards. |
| alcohol |
People are shown drinking.
A woman offers man a drink to drug him so that he won't feel pain while being tortured. |
| frightening |
Braveheart is an emotional intense film. It may be hard for some to watch due to the violence. The movie is never scary but holds an intense atmosphere. The near-rape could be quite disturbing for some viewers.
Despite Wallace's disembowelment being completely off screen it is by far the most difficult scene to watch.
Violence is only thing worth worrying about.
