Sex & Nudity
-
- No sex.
- There are two instances of male frontal nudity. In one scene, a closeup of a baby boy's genitals are briefly shown, and a man's fingers briefly wiggle the baby's penis. In a wide-angle shot, the man is shown holding the baby in his hands and comically kissing along the baby's lower belly and between the baby's legs. It looks like he may be kissing the baby's genitals, but such is not explicit. In another scene, there is a wide-angle shot of a little boy lifting up his shirt and opening a hole in trousers, briefly exposing his genitals, before turning away to urinate in the river. He is joined by other young boys, and the streams of flowing urine are visible. There is no further nudity of this kind, apart from a few ambient line-paintings of naked babies.
- Frequent references and allegories to fertility, procreation, pregnancy and childbirth are made throughout the first half of the film.
- There are two instances in which a little boy's bare buttocks are fully exposed but not his legs, and another two in which one of a little boy's buttocks is partly exposed.
- In at least one scene, a man's trousers are comically damaged (split) in the area where the trouser legs meet, thus exposing the man's underwear.
- The young boys speculate on how to breathe life back into a teenage woman who is incapacitated, and a little boy puts his lips to her lips for a moment, like a variation of CPR.
- A militant/regimented teenage woman teased to be a "tomboy" is mocked by a little boy for not having a "thing", and the mocking is accompanied by a fiddling fingers gesture.
Violence & Gore
-
- The violence is somewhat extensive but does not extend beyond melee combat including sword fights or involving children, and there is a little bit of gore.
- A man uses a sword to poke out another man's eye, during a fierce duel. Blood can be seen in his eye socket and on his forehead, and he has a laceration on the opposite cheek.
- The sharp tip of a spear wielded by a young girl is driven into the front of man's neck as he winces forward in reaction to a dart striking his crotch area, the projectile having been fired from a slingshot by a little boy. Blood can briefly be seen spraying from the man's wound.
- In a brief successive shots, a man wraps a noose around another man's neck, ambushing him, and strings him up to the ceiling.
- Armed bandits (all men) raid a village and assault unarmed men and women, as the children hide or flee. Bound at the wrists by rope, a woman is briefly dragged along the ground by a horse ridden by a man.
- A man is stabbed or slashed in his crotch with a sword, but within the brief shot of his wounded body, only blood is visible on his clothing with no blood spatter or graphic ruptures of his flesh.
- There are several, brief, kung fu brawls between man and child, mostly with no weapons involved.
- Dozens of concurrent, intense sword-fights transpire when a manor is raided.
- A teenage woman armed with a sword defends her homestead from a teenage man carrying a rod, but as conflict manifests like a sparring match, neither of them is injured.
- Children and teenagers practice martial arts on each other, sometimes playfully and sometimes mercilessly, but none of them is injured while doing this.
- There are numerous instances in which a man, woman or child is knocked or cast into the river by another person.
- A shanty bridge collapses a short distance into the river, taking with itself the young boys who were crossing it; when a teenage woman uses a sword to sever the bridge's rope suspensions.
- A man lifts young boy off the ground, hurriedly carries him away and aggressively throws him off a shallow cliff but safely into the river.
- The village elders condemn a teenage girl to a punishment that involves submersing a cage-bound target in the river. A teenage man is also subjected to this.
- Some dozen children or so push a wooden cage containing a man off a deep cliff and into the river. The man hollers on the way down.
- A man administers spankings to several children. Struck harder and upon bare skin, one of them sobs a bit, remarking that it itches.
- On two occasions, a little boy is bitten by a snake and screams.
- Hurled into the air, a little boy does the splits as he lands on a porcupine on the ground. The animal is uninjured, whereas the boy's buttock winds up with dozens of very fine, bleeding punctures.
Profanity
-
- Apart from words that translate to "bastard", there does not seem to be any curse words.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- None.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The most frightening scene may be the one with the cobra-like snakes and the baby. Apart from a number of dramatic scenes, the film has a lighthearted, comical or fantasy tone, even with some of the violent scenes.
- Even uncensored, a rating of PG-13 might best characterize the thematic elements and the borderline obscene visuals, as it as very close to being a family-friendly film.
