Sex & Nudity
Mild
A nun is shown wearing a skimpy swimsuit that reveals cleavage, bare abdomen and legs. A woman is shown in several scenes wearing low-cut and tight-fitting outfits that reveal cleavage and accentuate her figure.
A man is shown without a shirt at the end of the film and his bare chest and abdomen are seen.
In the hospital scene, two men are shown in seductive drag as nurses and many infants are shown without shirts. One of the "nurses" has a man caressing his arm and invites him out for a meal, the man dressed like a woman then punches him.
A man and a married woman are shown hugging in a hotel room and the man wraps his arms around the woman from behind and starts necking her.
A woman refers to another woman as barren.
A busty woman gives a man a boost, he accidentally steps on her right-breast, and it makes a loud and cartoonish "honk!" sound.
A man shows everyone in the car his pet-rat, causing everyone in the car to panic, the rat then quickly tries to find any hole to crawl into which is a busty woman's cleavage. She wears the revealing dress throughout the entire climax of the film.
Violence & Gore
Mild
Almost all violence in this film is in the form of slapstick comedy, and is not serious.
Larry pulls a tag off a bell it slides of and hits a nun on the head
Moe and Larry climb on a ladder both of them fall on the nun
A nun hits the legs out from under a bed where three men are sleeping, the bed collapses, the men fall on the floor, the nun threatens the men with a piece of wood until one of the men lunges at her and she grabs and squeezes his hand (we hear cracking of bones and he yelps).
A large bell falls off a roof and strikes a nun standing on the ground; the nun falls to the ground unconscious, two men that are also on the roof fall and land on the nun, they drag the nun and hit her head on a fire hydrant, another man falls off the roof and lands on her, a man pours a bucket of water on her face and a sledgehammer head inside the bucket hits her in the face (she is seen unharmed later).
A nun is struck in the head by a diving board and falls into a swimming pool (she is shown to be OK as she yells).
A nun is shown strapped to a table while three boys prepare to remove a tooth; the nun moans and pleads with them until one boy strikes her in the head with a croquet mallet and she falls unconscious.
A man is used as a battering ram and his head is smashed into a door several times (he is not harmed although he complains that the two men holding him are squeezing his ankles too tight).
A man hits another man in the head with a hammer and he holds his head and complains of a headache coming on.
A man hits another man on top of the head and under the chin causing the man to bite his tongue.

A man is struck in the face with a sledgehammer and then slapped in the face.
A boy pulls a clump of hair out of another boy's head and nostril hairs from another boy's nostril.
A large duffel bag is tossed out of a speeding car and it lands on the doorstep of an orphanage; when a nun unzips the bag, she is poked in the eyes and she falls back over a banister and into a flower bed (we see her unharmed later).
Numerous scenes throughout the movie contain poking, slapping, flicking noses and banging heads together among three boys and then three men.

A man slaps three other men in the face numerous times.
A man stomps on another man's foot (we hear a crunch but he seems fine).
A man puts his hand in another man's mouth and puts his fingers in another man's nose and then pulls them both along with him.
A man on a ladder falls after the ladder is struck by a golf cart, and he falls on top of several nuns; three other men attack the man, they punch and kick him, pull his shirt up and rip hair out of his arm pits, knock him to the ground and jump on him.
Three men grab a fire hose and jump off a roof; they crash onto a canopy and land hard on the ground where they knock over another man (no one appears injured).
Three men on a bike are pulled behind a truck; they fall over and are dragged on their side down the road.
Three men hold onto the bumper of a car and are dragged (we see their shows smoldering when the car stops).
A man drags a running saw up a ladder and the spinning blade cuts the rungs as he climbs up.
A man throws himself on the ground and spins around in a couple of scenes. Three men are chased by police, one officer corners them, they poke him, pull up his shirt and kick him (we see him lying motionless on the ground).
A woman helps a man climb over a wall and the man steps on her breast and then her face.
Three men crash into another man and they all fall into a flowerbed.
A young girl floats to the ceiling of a tent while holding a bunch of balloons, a man shoots the balloons using a shotgun and the girl falls into a cake (she is unharmed).

A man uses a cheese grater on another man (we don't see damage).
A man throws a rat into a woman's cleavage, and she screams causing the driver of the car they are in to swerve, drive off the road and submerge in water; they struggle to breathe, one of the men in the car flatulates, another lights a match and causes an explosion and they all swim to shore safely (we see a couple of the people with char on their faces).
A stick of dynamite is placed inside a man's body cast, it explodes and we see his face charred.
A man falls over a wall and lands in a lion's den in a zoo; the lion snarls and growls, lunges at him and is pulled back by a chain, the man slaps the lion and teases it, a peanut is thrown and strikes the lion in the testicles (we see a close-up shot), it roars and pulls free of his restraint and attacks the man (we hear the man yell but do not see the attack and we see the man with a large scratch on his face later).

Three men are chased through a hospital by a police officer: the officer is tripped, he hits his head on an ironing board, falls to the floor unconscious, the three men use two hot irons as if they are defibrillators and press them on his chest and the man sits up and screams (we hear a sizzle and see smoke coming from his chest).

A man grabs his chest and tells three other men that he is dying and that they should kill him by smothering him with a pillow.
Three men attempt to change the diapers of many infants in a hospital nursery; they are each sprayed in the face by urine when they remove the diapers (they are drenched) and they then use the infants as weapons to have them spray urine on each other. An infant is slid across a floor in a hospital nursery.
We see many fish floundering on the ground as a man sprinkles them each with water (they are starting a fish farm); one fish is shown motionless and flies buzz around it (it appears to be dead)

Curly bumps a guy into the street where he's hit by a bus, snagged and scrubbed along the roadway by a street sweeper, hopped on by a kid with a Pogo stick and impaled in the knee (really!) by an arrow that Larry had launched into the air earlier.
Profanity
Mild
Insult/Name calling like characters tell each other to "shut up" and call each other "stupid" and "moron." One use of "Oh My God."
Name-calling (hairy penguin, no good lazy bums, idiot, wuss, legs, dim of wit, mutton head, monkey face, stretched out meatball, mook, you have rocks in your head, jumbotron, monster, water weasels, butter bean, rude, wombats, blithering idiots, 3PO, crusher), exclamations (shut up, goodness, back off), 6 religious exclamations.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
People are shown at a party drinking alcoholic beverages, and Larry drinks directly from a champagne fountain.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
None
People may be concerned with the slapstick violence in the movie, but please note that the cartoonish violence is played for laughs and the filmmakers make an appearance at the end of the film to explain that the tools used to hit each other were made of rubber; they demonstrate how the hitting was performed safely.
