Sex & Nudity

  • In a deleted scene, the crew all have unsafe sex with some women. As a result, the crew all get herpes. The scene got deleted, but the herpes rashes remain.
  • Some mild-moderate innuendo, often in the form of lyrics.
  • Suggestive scene involving tight trousers.
  • A cucumber is found in someone's pants. (A deleted scene goes into more detail as to why it is placed there.)
  • Several references, nothing graphic or extremely explicit.
  • Verbal description of a fairly sexual album cover.

Violence & Gore

  • A man smashes up a room with a baseball bat, in a short scene. Plenty of verbal arguments.

Profanity

  • 36 F-words, mainly in the latter half of the movie, as well as other milder profanity.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A good amount of casual smoking and drinking. The film depicts rock stars of the 70s-80s and has an appropriatte level of substance abuse for the setting.
  • Derek smokes a pipe throughout the film.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The arguments heat up as the film goes on, some audiences might find some arguments uncomfortable

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The Stonehenge scene involving two short men with dwarfism dancing in a way some particularly those who share the condition might find inhumane and uncomfortable to watch given the recent highlights on historical dehumanised mis-representation of dwarfism.
