SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman finds a Penthouse magazine in a man's mail and opens it; she places it on a pedestal and flips the pages so that the man can see the pictures and we see a photo of a fully nude woman lying on her stomach (her bare shoulders, back and the side of her breast, nipple and buttocks are seen). A young man is shown in a bathtub and his bare back, chest and shoulders are visible. Women wear sleeveless dresses that reveal bare shoulders and upper backs at a party. A young woman wears a dress that is low-cut in the back and reveals part of her bare back and shoulders.

A married woman goes to the door of a tent where a man is sleeping and calls his name (the implication is that they are intimate but nothing is shown).

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man in a crowded concert hall coughs and spits up blood; he is taken out of the room on a stretcher and we see him unconscious and on life support in the hospital later (we hear that his is in a coma). A man is prepped for a tracheotomy and we see the scalpel blade press against his skin (no blood is shown) after a pen is used to mark the spot. A young man trips and falls on a sidewalk striking his head hard on the cement (his glasses break and we see a bit of blood on his face). A man at a table begins to choke and a woman pounds him on the back until he dislodges something from his throat (he spits food out). A young man is X-rayed after a fall and we see a scratch on his cheek; a doctor inserts a needle into the man's back and we see a dribble of fluid (presumably spinal fluid).
► A young man is shown dragging himself up a flight of stairs with great difficulty. A man is shown to be having trouble feeding himself when he is unable to raise a fork to his mouth. A young man is shown to be having trouble walking and he drags one of his feet; he is then shown walking with a cane and then two canes as his disease progresses. A man lifts another man off the toilet (he is fully clothed) and appears to have cleaned him. We hear that a man has pneumonia.
► A doctor tells a young man that he has a disease that will lead to gradual muscle decay and that he is expected to live only 2 years. A reference is made to ban the bomb marches. A reference is made to "God must die."
