Bride Hard SEX/NUDITY 4

 – Shirtless men (we see bare chests, abdomens and legs to the thighs) wearing Viking helmets dance thrusting their hips at two women seated on a stage during an exotic dance performance at a bachelorette party; three of the men surround one of the women and continue to thrust. Four women perform a dance routine for an audience of people at a wedding; they thrust their hips and slap their clothed buttocks. Several women get massages and they moan suggestively.
► A man and a woman kiss passionately. A young girl kisses a boy on the neck. A woman makes a sexual gesture with her mouth toward a handheld microphone. A man and a woman flirt. A woman flirts with a gunman as a distraction.
► A woman talks about having sex with a Catholic man. A woman remarks about wanting to have as many Frenchman’s baguettes in her mouth. A woman makes a comment about being “… dry humped by a Viking.” A woman says that she is allergic to latex so she can’t ever have safe sex. People sing a sexually suggestive song to help calm them after gunmen threaten them. A woman makes a remark about a man burning his “masturbating hand.”
► Women wear low-cut dresses and tops that reveal deep cleavage in many scenes throughout the movie. A woman’s dress is shortened to reveal her bare legs to the upper thighs. Young girls are seen without shirts in a couple of swimming pool scenes. A woman refers to her breasts as “emotional support boobs.” A man’s partial bare chest and abdomen are seen when his shirt is partially burned away.

Bride Hard VIOLENCE/GORE 6

 – A woman fights with a man carrying an RPG: she slams the man’s head against a table, flips him, takes the weapon and fires it hitting two men and throwing them off-screen. Armed people walk through a property, a woman starts the sprinklers that spray them, she attaches power lines to the sprinkler system and the gunmen are electrocuted and thrown. Gunmen walk into a tripwire that causes an explosion and they are thrown. A gunman confronts a woman and she sprays him with hairspray, hits him with a champagne bottle and swings hot curling irons at him; the man grabs the irons burning his hands (we hear sizzling), and falls back on a serving plate with a spike that stabs him through the back and out the chest (we see blood). A man holds another man over a bridge, threatens to drop him and when he is shot in the head (we see blood spurt) the held man falls into a truck filled with tomatoes (he’s unharmed) passing below them. A man moves toward another man with a gun and the gun discharges hitting the man in the leg (we see blood and the man falls to the floor moaning). A woman holds a gun on a man and they argue briefly; they fight using a stick and an umbrella and she hits him repeatedly, uses him as a shield when gunmen open fire and she falls out a window crashing into a cake truck below where she pretends to be dead. A woman fights with a gunman and kicks him until many more gunmen arrive and she fights them using a variety of items as weapons. A woman throws a knife pinning a man’s hand to a wall; several gunmen shoot at the woman and she dodges and uses a serving tray as a shield, she throws a bag of flour into a fan blowing powder all around and lights a small torch that causes an explosion throwing people in flames and shoots a screwdriver at a man hitting him in the head (we see blood spurt). A man in a vehicle crashes into a display and it explodes, presumably killing him in the blast; we see him later with charred and reddened skin.
► Several armed people shoot guns in the air during a wedding ceremony and order all the people to move inside a building. A woman fights several other people with punches, kicks and throws. A woman fights with another woman and a man and punches, kicks and throws them before getting away. Several women chase a gunman, and they shoot a cannon at boats as they speed away. Two women sail through a pressurized chute and jump onto a hover vehicle; they chase gunmen and shoot at their vehicles causing a couple of them to explode and flip over, they speed next to a skiff filled with gold bricks and jump on it and one woman hits a man in the head with gold bricks a few times (we see blood on his face), then wraps a chain around him that is attached to an anchor and throws it pulling the man out of the speeding vehicle. A man punches another man several times in the face and abdomen knocking him to the ground. A drone chases a woman and she shoots it. A man loads and fires a cannon (a tradition at noon) and a woman reaches for her gun. A woman yells and collapses to the floor pretending to be in labor as a distraction and grabs a gunman’s leg; a man points a gun at the woman and another man jumps in the line of fire (no one is shot). A woman is grabbed by gunmen that put a bag over her head and zip tie her hands.
► Drone boats move through water and shoot security guards onshore; many boats and divers arrive and the men arm themselves. A man and a woman do an exchange of a bioweapon and another woman chases the man to get the weapon from him. A man and woman jump into a whiskey still filled with liquid and it is set to a high temperature; the hatch is opened later and they pour out with the liquid (they are OK). Four women perform a dance routine and another woman blows something through a bamboo tube hitting one of the women and she falls into a rose bush; when she stands up, we see the roses stuck to her chest and when the roses are pulled off, we see bloody marks.
► A woman threatens to rip off a man’s genitals and wear them as a pendant. A man threatens another person saying, “I’ll gut you like a mackerel.” A woman jokes about another woman revealing that she is a spy and says, “If you tell Betsy, you have to kill Betsy.” A woman is upset when her husband runs away and leaves her behind when gunmen threaten them. A woman says, “I need to vomit,” and leans over an ice bucket (we do not see anything).
► A woman puts her tongue on a table demonstrating how a cat would get stuck to Velcro. A woman dabs a man’s face with what she says are her Spanx. A large mansion explodes in the distance.
