A young woman accidentally slams her head on the back of an airplane seat and then on the overhead storage bin when standing up. A teenage girl accidentally tips a tray of food onto the chest of a teenage boy; he is covered in food but unharmed.

A young woman gets her foot caught in a rope ladder she is climbing down, and she flips over and hangs from the ladder (she is unharmed). A middle-age woman is hit in the face with a stream of water after kicking a water pipe out from under a sink. A young woman falls off a path while running, we hear a shriek and later see her covered in mud and we hear that she fell into an anthill (she is later seen with small scabs on her arms/face).

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
