Red Heat (1988) - Parents Guide Movie Rating

MPA: R BBFC: 18 Maturity Rating 18+

BBFC Reason: Contains strong violence

Sex & Nudity

moderate

We see the buttocks of a bloody male corpse (several bullet wounds visible) for several seconds. In a sauna at the beginning of the movie, many men and women are seen naked. Nothing explicit from the guys; butts are seen. Many women are seen topless, from behind, or briefly full frontal. Much later, a girl jumps out of bed naked and eventually gets dressed. Her breasts and butt are seen very briefly (blink and you'll miss it). A man turns on a TV in a hotel room he's rented. It opens to a channel featuring a porno. The sex is mostly cropped with a focus on just the upper bodies with nothing shown. A woman moans explicitly in the scene for about a second. At an airport, one of the two main characters tries to flirt with a woman walking by. She scornfully tells him to "b-word" himself. He takes in stride, sarcastically saying it's a good suggestion. One of the two main characters makes sexual jokes. The first two refer to masturbation. The second joke refers to declining to being serviced by a woman who heatedly used the F-word towards him during an argument.

Violence & Gore

moderate

Lots of property damage committed by buses in one scene. People get shot throughout; usually there's none to moderate amounts of bloodshed. A few shootings later on in the movie are quite quite however. A few beatings including broken fingers.

Profanity

severe

A man tells James Belushi to "go and kiss his mother's behind" in Russian and it is translated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. About 25 uses of the F-word(including a few sexual uses) Other profanities such as damn, hell, bitch, ass, shit, bullshit, and bastard.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

moderate

Some drinking and smoking. Coccaine is seen and discussed.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

moderate

Nothing too bad at all; the final showdown may be a little intense to some.
