BBFC Reason: Contains strong violence

Sex & Nudity

moderate

3 shots of nudity 2 in a car brief/1 after a strippers dance rather long shot Rather long scene takes place in strip club. The female lead of the movie starts her strip show, takes off her jacket and she is wearing a bra. She spends most of the time dancing and playing a set of electronic drums but we never see her naked. The scene then cuts to the backstage area of the strip club. She walks into the change room that she shares with many other strippers. A couple of the strippers are shown topless but they are seen for only a very short moment. In the prison cells quite a bit of posters of scan-dally clad women some are completely naked just using their arms to cover up pics are quite small but still noticeable, others are topless. A man overhears a woman giving another man a back massage, and the dialogue is deliberately misconstrued to sound as if they are having sex. In a parking garage scene early in the movie, a man and a woman, who are assumed to be having sex in the back seat of a parked car, are shown sitting up suddenly in reaction to a car chase. He is still fully dressed and she is topless and her bare breasts are fully shown in two extremely short moments of time. The two main characters are in a large common shower area. They are shown walking into the shower from behind and they are completely naked and only their rear ends are shown for about 5 seconds. They are then showering side by side (we only see their upper bodie) and trading insults about the size each other's penises. Bare breasts are shown briefly a couple of times

Violence & Gore

moderate

A man is shot twice in the forehead. Character is found dead with his throat slashed. Graphic. Very little violence until the end, where there's an extended shootout with some minor blood splatter. This could be too actiony to some. In the prison scene, Tango and Cash are nearly electrocuted to death.

Profanity

severe

Occasionally strong. 21 uses of 'fuck', 6 uses of 'shit', 4 uses of 'asshole', 3 uses of 'ass',1 use of 'pussy', and some other, milder swearing.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

moderate

Cocaine is found and tasted. Some minor drinking at the club.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

mild

Fairly intense prison scenes as well the shootout at the end.
