Sex & Nudity

mild

Several teenagers French-kiss. A teenage girl makes a comment about "boys with roamin' hands and rushin' fingers". A man bathes himself in a metal tub outside a shed. A man is an obvious pervert/pedophile (in a deleted scene, he has a warehouse full of young people in incriminating sexual positions). Mostly mild sexual innuendo.

Violence & Gore

mild

A young man punches another in the face; the other punches back and the first goes down. Gang fights break out, although these scenes are usually played comically, with cartoon-like special effects. A young man tells about how his grandfather electrocuted another young man's parents (the other young man's father was the "Alphabet Bomber"; he bombed places in alphabetical order [airport, barbershop, carwash, drugstore])
