Parents guide

Very brief scene of sex, no nudity, used humorously.

Inside a jail cell, two German soldiers are shot by machine guns with blood spurts. Another German is shot and blown offscreen. One has his throat slit, we see his neck open and lots of blood spilling out.

Several German soldiers are shot up inside a car by machine guns, blood splatters all over the windshield.

A dead German soldier is scalped, shown in full detail.

A man is shot multiple times, with blood spray.

A majority of the movie doesn't contain violence, but when the violence happens it is bloody.

Strong graphic violence.

All the violence is very bloody and gruesome. When it appears, it's intense, detailed and disturbing. Examples include throat slittings, scalpings, gunshots and other incredibly gruesome moments. Unlike the rest of Tarantino's films, this film has unflinchingly realistic violence, with no exaggerated blood spurts and it's all portrayed seriously.

An entire Jewish family is shot while hiding under the floor boards. We don't see their bodies. A Jewish girl survives and runs away covered in blood and crying.

Several dead men are scalped by other men wielding large knives. These images are short, but graphic in detail as we see bloody flesh and muscle being brutally cut off from their scalps.

A man beats a German soldier to death by bashing his head in repeatedly with a baseball bat until his head gorily and very graphically explodes. Although we see this from a distance, it is extremely graphic and gruesome. Afterwards, another German soldier is fatally shot in the back while trying to escape.

20 uses of the F-word. 16 spoken in English. 4 written in subtitles.

Moderate profanity throughout

Throughout the film, the racial slur "Negro" is used in multiple different languages (however, they are subtitled)

Strong language.

Drinking and smoking throughout. Tobacco use indicates the time period. One scene in a bar where characters are drunk.

A man snorts a white powder from a tin.

A man puts his Finger in a bloody bullet hole As an act of causing pain. Can be disturbing.

There is lots of brutal violence throughout the film, and while some of it is over-the-top, all of it is extremely realistic as mentioned before.

Colonel Landa may be funny or frightening for some, depending on the viewer. The atitudes taken by the Basterds (like scalping or the swastika in the forehead) can be seen as intense and horrible, but it has a comedic tone.
