Sex & Nudity

  • No sex or nudity, and some mild sexual talk.
  • A prostitute says that she moved from Amsterdam to Bruges so she could "get more money for my pussy."
  • Some brief, non-graphic discussion of sex
  • A brief scene of man and woman kissing on a bed (no nudity or sex happens because they are interrupted).
  • Mention of prostitution for comedic effect
  • 2 prostitutes with 2 men in a room, one sitting on the lap of one of them wearing revealing clothes and kissing.
  • A man with a prostitute, she is wearing shorts while camera zooms on her legs. And they kiss.

Violence & Gore

  • Little to no blood until the last 30 minutes. Then there is extreme violence with blood, blood splatters, detailed gore / gory aftermath, suicide, and implied violence against a child.
  • Ray punches a man in the face and then punches the mans girlfriend.
  • A character head-butts a man and we see blood coming out of his nose. The character then shoots the man in the eyes with "blanks," leaving the man blinded.
  • Harry starts to beat a man in the face. This is done off screen but the sounds and screams can be heard.
  • A man throws himself off the bell tower and his body lands on the ground. Blood shoots out and splatters everywhere. A character runs over to him and we see a glimpse of the damage done to his body. One of his arms came off and we see the mangled and gory mess. He then dies shortly after. This scene is very disturbing.
  • A small person is shot in the head. His head is seen totally destroyed with blood everywhere.
  • A character shoots himself in the head. Blood is seen spraying out of his head.

Profanity

  • Lots of british slang and swears. Very pervasive and graphic.
  • 126 uses of "fuck", 20 uses of "shit", 14 uses of "cunt", 2 uses of "cock", 2 uses of "shag" British slang for "to have sex", and 1 use of "wanker". Also there are a couple uses of "poof."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Chloe mentions that she sells heroin and cocaine to the members of a movie cast. She tells us that she sold horse tranquilizer to one of them.
  • Ray finds cocaine (5 grams) and other drugs (Acid and ecstasy).
  • Ray says that he snorts about a gram of the cocaine.
  • We see a group of men and women snorting cocaine and drinking alcohol.
  • Ray mentions the acid and ecstasy.
  • There a few scenes of casual drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It's a dark comedy
  • This film is very violent. The second half of the film is far more intense than the first half. The bell tower scene at the end is frightening and final ten minutes are intense.

Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • Ray makes fun of a fat American tourist. Later in the film, it is implied that because he was overweight, he had a heart attack.
  • A priest is shot in the torso and back, we see the entrance and exit wounds. A character sees that he hit a young boy in the head with a stray bullet. We see the wound on his head and he falls down dead. This is quite bloody.
  • Harry shoots Ken in the foot.
  • A character is shot in the neck. Blood can be seen squirting and pouring out and a bloody wound can be seen after.
  • Ken is seen crawling on the floor. Blood can be seen on the floor and is wound is bleeding.
  • Harry shoots Ray in the torso. Blood is seen dripping out of the entrance and exit wound.
  • Harry shoots Ray in the torso three or four more times. Blood is seen pouring out.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Ken's death may be sad for some
  • After accidentally shooting a short man in the head during a gunfight, the shooter mistakes it to be a child, and he subsequently shoots himself in the mouth. Disturbing and a bit sad, considering the context of the rest of the film.
