Sex & Nudity

mild

There is a woman in only a bra at the beginning when the pilots are introduced in the barracks. She's shown 3 or 4 times. There is a very sexual scene involving a man and a woman. This scene is intended to be very silly, and there is no actual nudity beyond lingerie. The are shown in the same bed the next morning.

Violence & Gore

mild

Multiple place crashes, although people are not killed by the impact. Many pratfalls and accidental hits throughout. Two men briefly fight hand to hand, however only one punch is thrown and both men cry out in pain. Missiles hit a building and it explodes. Very brief and minor. A man is punched, fall down a flight of stairs landing in a dentist chair, and a dentist starts drooling on his teeth causing him to scream in pain. A man is shot during a fighter jet dog fight, and is later seen on a gurney receiving treatment. Blood squirts from his arm, but is meant to be humorous. A man is shot and killed. This scene concludes very quickly, and is not at all graphic. A man's head has been mounted in the style of a hunter's trophy, after being shot earlier. There is a scene in which a character is receiving a blood transfusion. There is no blood shown, but the donor can be seen deflating and flattening like a rubber dummy, while a slurping sound is heard.

Profanity

moderate

'H*ll' is said at lest three times. 'Sh*t' is said. '*ss' is said. 'Godd*mn' is said. 'B*stard' is said. 2 uses of Jesus, for god sakes, screw and bastard 5 uses of shit 2 mumbled while being said 7 uses of hell and damn 4 paired with god 1 use of son of a bitch, dickwad, scum, for god sakes, penis, piss, crap, holy cow, oh my god and good god Two uses of 'f*ck' including one only in subtitles.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

mild

A scene takes place in a bar where many people are drinking. Two men inhale helium from a balloon mounted to a comic-looking pipe similar to one a person might use for smoking drugs.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

none

Although the movie is a comedy and almost everything is meant to be humorous, there are some brief intense moments. An amiable character dies and a funeral is held where people, including his wife, are crying. A few plane crashes are somewhat frightening. The climactic fighter jet fight is somewhat intense.
