nudity | 2/10 The opening title sequence begins with a woman's body dramatically side-lit, showing that she is wearing nothing but some necklaces. The strong lighting leaves most of her body in shadow, but we see part of her areola as well as her bared side from shoulder down to upper thigh. Later in the sequence, another apparently-nude woman is shown from the front; the only covering shown is some body paint. Posing and camera work obscure most of her body; no areola, nipple, or pubic area is shown. A man and a woman are in bed together, the man's arm around the woman. The top sheet covers the woman's chest, leaving the man's chest and the woman's shoulders visible. No clothing is visible. The woman asks the man for "one more time," implying sex. A woman sneaks out of a man's bedroom wearing only panties, with the man's pajama top pressed to her chest to hide her breasts. As she sneaks away, we see her bared back. A man unzips a woman's dress, showing a bit of her bared back and the top of her panties. In two scenes, a man dances in a scanty costume that covers little more than his pubic area. His bare chest, back and legs are visible several times. A few times in these scenes, we briefly see his buttocks. Several scenes involve a painted depiction of a nude man and woman embracing as lovers, with the woman's bared breast showing from the side. Pubic areas are hidden by posing and the couples' buttocks are hidden by an artistic drape. A man tries to talk a woman into bed with him. She refuses, but after later events in the scene, she reluctantly agrees to sleep with him. Nothing overt is shown beyond this, but the morning-after scene suggests that they had sex. A man and a woman are lying on a blanket in the jungle kissing, the man shirtless and the woman wearing the man's sleeveless undershirt. Dialogue suggests that they had sex before the scene began. The woman later runs off, apparently wearing nothing but the undershirt and possibly some brief panties. The undershirt falls to the woman's upper thighs, leaving her arms and legs fully bared. Photographs of nude women (apparently cut from magazines) are pasted up near a man's bed. Posing and cropping show bared breasts, hips, and thighs briefly. A man and a woman wake up together in bed. The man is shirtless and the woman wears a camisole. They speak of having had sex. Later in the scene, the woman asks the man to have sex with her again in veiled language. The man agrees using an innuendo. Dialogue reveals one of the sex scenes detailed above to involve a loss of virginity. The possibility of this makes another man very angry; his angry speeches contain multiple veiled references to sex. |
violence | 7/10 No bullet holes, and relatively low body count. Shootouts, fistfights, and explosions. A man is stabbed with no graphic detail. It is implied that another man is stabbed off screen. A dart is shot into a man's temple, killing him. Blood can briefly be seen. A woman is shot off screen; we see her body with blood on her shirt. A man is killed by a snakebite to the neck; no blood. A woman is violently slapped to the floor and then shouted at by a man as she cries. Could be upsetting for some. A man appears to be graphically shot in the head, with part of his head flying off. It is soon revealed that this is some sort of animated mannequin, which Bond then destroys with additional gunshots. There is shooting at the end with blood. A man falls into a coffin full of poisonous snakes; he dies, apparently, though he appears again at the end of the film . A man is killed in an explosion. A man's arm is cut three times very slowly by a large knife; the camera spends time showing the blood dripping into what is shown to be a shark pool. A man is thrown out of a train to his death: we hear the sound only. A man is killed by being forced to swallow a compressed air capsule, so that he swells up like a balloon and then explodes, but this is depicted in a cartoonish way, played for laughs with no blood or gore and (deliberately?) unrealistic special effects. |
profanity | 4/10 "F**k" is mouthed. "Sh*t" is used once. This is the first Bond film to use such strong language. Other milder language including "hell," "damn," "bitch," "ass," and "God." To give a little context, a student says "Oh sh*t" when Bond commandeers her plane and drives it through a too-narrow opening, tearing the wings off. "Ass" is used as part of the phrases "hauling ass" and "smartass". |
alcohol | 3/10 Bond smokes and drink ocasionally. Bond uses his cigar as a weapon twice. The villain's plan is to grow huge amounts of heroin and distribute much of it for free in the United States, causing his competitors to grow bankrupt and allowing him to make lots of money by charging large amounts for his heroin once all of his competitors are gone. |
frightening | 5/10 A man is killed by a snakebite and voodoo rituals are shown. Attempted feedings of Bond to crocodiles and sharks scenes may scare young viewers Man emerges from graveyard Bond lights a spray to kill a snake. The ending may make you jump. TOTAL: 20/50 Suggested MPAA Rating: PG-13 For Intense Violent Action, Drug Content, Language Including Suggestive References And Some Frightening Images |
