SEX/NUDITY 4 - In an animated sequence a nude man comes through a doorway and a diffusion block covers his genitals (we see his bare chest, legs and the side of his buttock briefly). A woman wears an extremely low-cut top that reveals her lace bra, cleavage and bare abdomen, and a woman wears low-cut dresses that reveal cleavage in several scenes. A man is bare-chested with a towel wrapped around his waist in a locker room scene. Several women wear low-cut evening gowns that reveal cleavage, bare shoulders and bare backs. We see a statue of an infant at a woman's breast (the infant's bare buttocks are visible).
► A man kisses a woman, and smacks her on the buttock. In a couple of scenes a man and a woman kiss.
► A man helps a woman down off a table and she ends up with her legs wrapped around his head and his face in her crotch; a man walks into the room and misunderstands that there is something sexual happening. A man thinks a man and a woman are having sex when he finds the man performing the Heimlich maneuver on the woman.
► A woman invites a man to her hotel room for dinner, she touches his shoulder seductively, and he leaves the room and tries to take a Viagra but loses it down a drain.
► A woman touches a man's shoulder seductively, and a woman dances on stage seductively. A man grunts and thrusts his hips.
► Two men lie in bed together and talk about women and romance. A woman tells a man that her boyfriend was being unfaithful. A man says that his e-mail address is Dr. Knockers.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man is shot in the head (we see a red laser mark on his forehead, hear the gunshot and see him dead on the floor). A man falls to the ground dead with a poison dart in his neck.
► Several bandits shoot a sleeping gas into a room full of people, the people cough and collapse, and another man shoots the bandits with sleeping darts and they collapse to the floor.
► A man hits another man in the head with a chair, then tries to remove his face (thinking it's a mask) and pounds his head on a desk. A man punches and kicks three men and knocks them out.
► A man accidentally throws his police badge at another man and the pin sticks in his chest (we hear a crunch when he pulls it out). A man hits a man in the eye with a metal pointer (we see his very bruised eye later).
► A man threatens to attach electrical charges to a man's genitals during an interrogation and shows him how they work by attaching them to himself (we hear him scream and see his crotch smoldering).
► A man breaks a sink drain, water sprays in the bathroom, a fire starts, the man is shocked when he holds a hair dryer and stands in water, a hole opens in a floor and the man falls through it and crashes onto a table (he seems OK). A man in a wheelchair speeds out of control in reverse and falls down stairs (we hear the commotion). A man cuts a cord that releases a large chandelier and it crashes to the floor where people are walking (no one appears injured).
► A man is stopped by airport security when they search his bag and find it full of weapons; several guards hold guns on him, and a dog barks and lunges at him biting him on the arm. A man holds a gun on two men.
► We see a man in a hospital with a bruised and scraped face, his leg and arm are in casts, and another man raises and lowers the bed and the injured man yells in pain; the man's bed rolls out of the room, down stairs, through corridors and eventually it crashes through a window and he is thrown into a river below.
► A man's jacket becomes stuck in a car door, and he is dragged alongside. A man falls from a stair railing and lands hard on the floor. An elderly woman is hit in the head by a flashing police light that slips off a speeding car as it passes her, and she falls to the ground.
► A man performs the Heimlich maneuver on a woman, she spits an egg out of her mouth, the egg goes out a window, hits a cyclist in the head, and he crashes into a cart that explodes.
► A man jumps from a ceiling toward another man on the floor, but he misses and crashes onto the floor. A man's finger is closed in a door, he dangles from the door, and a woman inside opens the door and the man falls to the floor.
► A large globe rolls off a pedestal, down stairs (we hear a man scream that his leg has been broken), out a building, down more stairs, and across a street where it hits several cyclists and knocks them off their bikes. A cyclist runs into an open car door, and flips off his bike and into the air. A cyclist is hit by a large, rolling globe and thrown into the air.
► A man punches a man in the nose. We hear a punch after lights have been turned off in a room. A man cuts an electrical wire and he is shocked. A woman walks into a tree and falls back onto the ground. A man falls down a flight of stairs (we hear the commotion and hear him yell). A man is hit hard in the face by a soccer ball and falls back. A man in a car runs into two cars repeatedly and eventually their bumpers fall off.
► Piranha chew on the elbow of a man's suit jacket (we see it shredded but the man does not appear to have even noticed). A man pulls a curtain and rod down off the wall and it crashes onto a statue. A man's hands become stuck in two vases, and he breaks one on a desk and the desk collapses.
► An animated sequence shows a man hitting something and his hand throbs; he puts a gun in his pocket and shoots himself in the crotch, a panther slaps a man, and flames shoot from a hole in the floor after a man has fallen through it.

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.
