| nudity | A woman is shown bathing in the nude. She gets out of the water and we can see that she is naked, both from the front and back. However, the shot is so far away that it is hard to see the nudity. Young children are shown nude from behind after tearing off their clothes to go bathing. Characters kiss and embrace several times, but not while nude. |
| violence | The movie begins with a man who is struggling to save approximately 90 people from almost certain death from the Chinese government. At the end of the scene, the Chinese military arrives and starts firing weapons before the last plane takes off. (It is said later that the man was successful.) A plane runs out of fuel and crashes. The passengers on the plane are okay, but the pilot dies (Most likely from the fumes, not the actual crash). Later on when the survivors end up in Shangri-La, one of them makes the assumption that they're being kidnapped and goes on a rampage using his gun. He fires a few bullets, but his brother knocks him out. No one is shot. That same man eventually leaves Shangri-La along with his girlfriend and brother. On the journey, the girlfriend becomes too tired to walk. When their sherpas see this, they make fun of them by firing their guns. This triggers an avalanche that kills all the sherpas. The girlfriend dies and it is revealed that she has become an old woman in a matter of minutes. When the man sees this, he jumps off a cliff and commits suicide. |
| profanity | None. |
| alcohol | Naturally, considering this is a movie from the 1930s, there is quite a lot of smoking in the film. There is a bit of alcohol consumption in the movie as well, including a toast at the end of the movie. |
| frightening | The film is not that intense by today's standards, but there are some moments that might be bothersome. All of which can be found in the violence section. The opening scene can be quite intense. The film's ending also contains moments which could disturb younger viewers. Overall, nothing here that an 8-year old couldn't handle. |
