The Decline of Western Civilization III is a 1998 documentary film directed by Penelope Spheeris that chronicles the gutter punk lifestyle of homeless teenagers. It is the third film of a trilogy by Spheeris depicting life in Los Angeles at various points in time. The first film dealt with the punk rock scene during 1980-1981. The second film covers the Los Angeles heavy metal movement of 1986-1988. The film involves hardcore street punks called "gutter punks" who take the anti-establishment message with extreme seriousness, and tune out society completely. Spheeris talks to homeless teenagers living on the street or squatting in abandoned buildings in Los Angeles, as well as an unstable mother, Los Angeles Police Department officer Gary Fredo, and a paralyzed youth living on a disability.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity	These themes are discussed in the movie, often from very politically incorrect viewpoints. A song's lyrics involve the concept of Planned Parenthood. Despite the often raunchy/explicit nature of the film, there is no real nudity.
violence	Scenes of violence/fights at punk rock concerts. People, many of them teens, discuss violent experiences. Many of them have scars/burns/black eyes/etc. One man is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair as a result of a drunk driving car crash. Plenty of talk about gangs/fighting/violence. The ending of the film reveals that one of the interviewees was going on trial for killing one of the others.
profanity	Lots of cursing/explicit language. Teenagers begging for change/money insult people that do not acknowledge them/give them anything. Many people in the film have disgusting habits/means of speaking/etc. that they show no remorse for.
alcohol	Plenty of drinking, cigarette smoking, and marijuana smoking. These activities are also discussed in detail. Many of the activities are done by teens. Many of the interviewees tell stories about coming from homes broken up by drinking/drugs/etc.
frightening	The entire premise of the film revolves around homeless teens/runaways looking to survive day to day. Many of them were the victims of abuse, and have been discriminated against for looking different. Deaths are mentioned in the film, including the death of one of the interviewees at the hands of one of the others. The entire atmosphere is very bleak, yet many of the teens still retain a positive, carefree attitude. Recommended MPAA Rating: A light R, for explicit language, drinking/smoking/drug use, much of it involving teens, and the overall situation/atmosphere of the film.
