No nudity or sexual content. One verbal innuendo is made by the female lead, stating "Being in the theatre, you must be used to women who are more 'experienced'," but no physical interaction is shown or implied between the characters.

One character suggests revising the puppet show to include "girl puppets, naked ones". The idea is not pursued by characters and no further references are made.

Violence without blood. Chief antagonists are mummies; stabbing or harming the mummies only results in dust coming from the wound. The mummies do kill several cast members, but do so with a magic hand beam that leaves no visible wounds whatsoever. A man has a puppet carve a magic signal into his arm some blood and the carving wound seen. A man has blood drip down his mouth.

A single use of the word "Bastards". Several uses of the word "God" while referencing an ancient Egyptian evil power (i.e. a god). One use of the word "Hell" and "damned" in religious context.

A friend advises the female lead when she first ventures into Paris "Don't go into any opium dens." This counsel is not referenced further as the character opts instead to take in a puppet show.

Mummies appear in bandaged corpse form when first animated. They will then disguise themselves as humans and appear less frightening. Puppets are each given a "disturbing" appearance for their role as "damned souls" in the puppet show. Once animated, they are involved in two bloodless fight scenes with the mummies. Several puppeteers are killed by use of magic. No visible harm comes to the character other than collapsing and being declared dead. These uninjured dead bodies will be shown at differant points of the film and could be percieved as disturbing. Black magic and sorcery is used on multiple occasions to result in death or reanimation.
