SEX/NUDITY 1 - A husband says of his wife, "It was love at first fight" (they are both Ninjas).
► During a fight, one LEGO man pulls the pants/skirt off another LEGO man (we see his bare LEGO legs). A LEGO man is shown shirtless and we see is bare chest.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - During an attack on a city, a volcano rumbles, lava glows and smoke billows as many planes fly overhead and a giant shark walks out of the ocean; fighter planes attack the city and we see a school bus teetering over a bridge before it plunges over the side (it is caught and placed safely on the ground); several young people transform into a Ninja fighting squad in a few scenes to fight a warlord, and one Ninja flies in a vessel resembling a dragon that blows fire and knocks planes out of the sky while launching missiles and torpedoes. A dinosaur Ninja faces off with a giant robot and a dragon Ninja is thrown into the ocean as more fighting occurs between other Ninjas and the giant robot; lots of property damage is shown. A live-action cat pounces on a flying Ninja and knocks it down, and then jumps and drags another Ninja out of the sky. Two men fight and one uses a stick causing the other to grunt; they fight across a rope bridge and one man falls a great distance into water below as young people watch and scream in despair. We see a war sequence with many men and women fighting with swords and people fall as they are struck. Several Ninjas fight a warlord with kicks and thrown weapons. A huge dragon in flames chases 5 Ninjas and people in a city evacuate; fighter planes chase the Ninjas and a warlord throws things at a live-action cat. A live action cat gobbles up a warlord then spits him out (we see the warlord covered with slime).
► Several people with spears move toward several Ninjas and they fight. During a fight a boy Ninja loses an arm; we see it re-attached (snapped back in) by a man. A man launches several people out of a volcano and through the air in a trail of smoke (we see them charred but alive later). Explosions in a street send people running and screaming. A tooth is pulled from a shark and we hear a scream. A boy jumps across rooftops. People on a beach run and scream as a giant robot walks out of the ocean and through a town. A sailing vessel is shown in shambles and it is assumed that a man is dead (we see him OK later). We see skeletons in a dark forest as snakes slither on the forest floor. A man is trapped in a cage. A flying vehicle crashes into a mountain and then lands on another mountain where its occupants disembark (no injuries). A building is built on a fragile foundation and it begins to crumble when several young people are locked inside.
► A Ninja defaces a priceless painting and a Ninja knocks over a refrigerator. A young boy enters a curiosity shop where he touches a suit of armor that drops a heavy spear that hits a table and throws some china cups into the air; a man catches them before they break (this is in live action). A man's tears turn to flames as they leave his eyes in a few scenes. A man blows dust off a box in and into a boy's face; the boy coughs. Students practice "duck and cover" drills in a school room in anticipation of an attack by an evil Ninja.
► A man yells at his staff. Many young people on a bus move to one side to avoid a boy and the bus is shown tipped to one side and sending sparks as it drags its chassis along the roadway. A young boy is ridiculed and shunned because his father is a warlord that keeps attacking their town. A boy and his estranged father argue in a few scenes and the boy says, "Get out of my life" in one scene. A boy tells his estranged father, "I wish you weren't my father." A man and a woman argue in a few scenes. A man tells a young boy that a cat is a monster and we see bloody scratches on the man's hand (presumably from the cat). People say, "We hate you," to a villain. A reference is made to a "Deadly jungle of lost souls." A man talks about how he grew two extra arms and how he was bitten by a snake. A woman tells her son, "Let me see your fingers and toes. Oh, you still don't have fingers and toes." A boy says, "We're doomed" and "We're gonna die."
► A woman sucks from a straw and makes slurping sounds a few times.
