BBFC Ratings info
violence: There are prolonged boxing scenes, which include repeated blows to the head and body. There is some injury detail and blood in the aftermath of violence. There is mild bad language ('freakin', 'ass', 'crap'), as well as milder terms ('hell', 'damn', 'butt'). There are also mild sex references, upsetting scenes in which a man dies and his funeral is shown, as well as scenes in which a man consumes alcohol and smokes and which do not promote or encourage the activity. A man makes brief discriminatory remarks, including to black people as 'coloured'; however, these are not condoned by the film as a whole.
