Sex & Nudity

  • A man and woman in bathing suits lie together and make out on a beach at night. No sex or nudity is shown. The man kisses her and rubs her leg, but they're interrupted.
  • There are topless/naked women in a bar (strip club). The lighting is a bit dark but one can make out just about everything.

Violence & Gore

  • There are many scenes mainly in the first hour where terrorists shoot random civilian gatherings, such as:
  • Two 'police officers' fire their shotguns on a Christmas gathering, killing several people, but making it a point to keep a few alive.
  • A bomb explodes in a crowded mall, which is followed by a shootout between terrorists and the main hero.
  • Terrorists plant a bomb on the side of a school bus full of children, but the hero takes the bomb before it can explode and slaps it on the terrorists' car, which blows up the car.
  • At the beginning of the film, a boatload full of Cuban immigrants is slaughtered by terrorists disguised as US Coastguards, including women and children.
  • A major shootout in front of a government building erupts between terrorists and the military while the main hero battles the terrorist leader (and some of his goons) inside.
  • A man is obliterated by a rocket launcher.
  • A terrorist destroys several suburban family homes with a rocket launcher. After the attack, many wounded people are screaming for help and a few children can be seen stumbling out of their burning homes.
  • The terrorist leader has a nasty habit of shooting sticking his gun down people's pants and shooting them in the crotch.
  • A prostitute is snorting cocaine; a man slams the straw up her nose and kicks her out a window, and then he shoots another man at point blank range.
  • Several more scenes where people are killed by bombings and shootings, as it is a very violent film (although the violence is done in a comical, over-the-top way).

  • Several people are seen drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A school bus full of children is nearly blown up.
  • A church full of families is nearly blown up.
  • A neighborhood where children are explicitly shown to be with their families is destroyed by a rocket launcher-wielding terrorist. The survivors are later seen crawling/stumbling out of their burning homes.
