Sex & Nudity

  • A woman insults a man by suggesting he has sex with farm animals.
  • A man and woman lay on a bed together kissing, the man shirtless and the woman in her underwear and bra.
  • A woman gives birth to a young boy in the beginning of this movie. She screams in pain and she is instructed by people (some alien) to push for an extended period.
  • Kirk tries to flirt with Uhura during the bar sequence. He tells her, "You've got a talented tongue" (we are told she is a linguist, but there is the double-entendre meaning of oral sex). Uhura replies that she is surprised he "Doesn't only have sex with farm animals" and he replies "not only."

  • A man and a woman (with green skin) kiss suggestively in bed for a few seconds

Violence & Gore

  • A man is attacked by large scary creatures on an isolated planet.
  • The film contains frequent instances of science-fiction violence and peril. Most of the violence is not graphic, rather it is suggestive and intense. Some of these acts of violence include:
  • An intense opening sequence depicting a space battle in which various people are killed in explosions. One person is visibly hurled into space when a hole is blasted in the hull of the ship.
  • A man is stabbed in the chest by a lance, but the scene cuts back to his ship before we see him being stabbed. A computer announces that he died immediately
  • A bar fight occurs and a man is beaten to the point where his nose and face bleed. Blood is briefly visible on the hand of one of his attackers. This's perhaps the most bloody of the violence sequences.
  • A ship warps to a location and is the last to arrive after following the rest of the fleet. Once it arrives, it discovers that the rest of the fleet had been wiped out. Debris and some dead bodies are visible in space.
  • A fight occurs when a few men parachute onto a platform. The third man releases his chute too late and is disintegrated.
  • An alien is fried in a quick fire. A man is stabbed through the back, and the sword is shown protruding from his chest, with blood visible on the blade. An alien is kicked off the platform.
  • A planet is destroyed. Some of its inhabitants are crushed under falling objects or fall to their deaths.
  • A man attacks another when he insults his lack of some qualities. One of the men chokes the other.
