nudity | Jill briefly shows a tiny bit of cleavage (otherwise we nearly always see her in very tightfitting tops that accentuate her bust). |
violence | Poachers are hunting animals, including they purposefully shot Joe's mother (impact not seen) and shot Jill's mother (impact not seen, but we hear a moan as she's hit). Then Joe attacks Strasser and bites his hand hard, severing his finger and thumb (minimal blood seen). Angry upon seeing Garth, Joe tears up his grounds and knocks down a tree that nearly hits Harry in a nearby tent. Moments later, Joe's inside that tent, knocking people aside (and we hear him accidentally step on one man's leg) as he tries to get to Garth and more specifically, Strasser (but he's sedated with tranquilizers before that happens). Joe tosses Strasser onto wires before he loses his grip and falls into a transformer and is electrocuted to death. |
profanity | At least 3 hells, 2 damns, 1 crap, and 4 uses of "Oh my God," 2 of "My God" and 1 use each of "God," "Swear to God" and "Oh God" as exclamations. |
alcohol | Some local trackers appear to be drinking (and perhaps a bit intoxicated -- seen from a distance). |
frightening | An early scene set at night with poachers and their dogs racing through the woods, looking for the gorillas, may be a bit unsettling for younger kids. This also includes them purposefully shooting Joe's mother (impact not seen), shooting Jill's mother (impact not seen, but we hear a moan as she's hit), and Joe attacking Strasser and biting his hand. |
