Some scenes with a prostitute where the soldiers say they're gonna have sex with her. Nothing is shown.

A man is seen looking at a nude magazine, breasts shown briefly. (This is also very hard to see)

A man haggles with a Vietnamese prostitute for sex.(However the act itself isn't shown)

It is implied that a prostitute takes turns having sex with several men. Discussed and implied but not shown.

A soldier's helmet reads "I'm hard"

A lot of sexual insults from the drill sergeant.

People attempting to flee Vietnam are gunned down from a helicopter.

Several members of the Viet Cong are fatally executed from a far distance in a destroyed city.

A viet cong firing squad ambushes a military base. An intense gun battle ensues between the marine corps and the viet cong. No one is shot, there is just a lot of shooting and a few explosions.

The violence in this film is intense. The violence is not glorified.

A lot of war violence, including frequent shooting. The more graphic instances are mentioned below:

74 uses of "fuck" (some used sexually) and 70 uses of "shit" (along with at least 13 uses of "bullshit" and 1 use of "shitty"), along with at least 5 uses of "ass," 11 uses of "asshole" and "hell," 5 uses of "son of a bitch," 1 of "Jesus Christ," 1 use of "whore," a few uses of "cocksucker"

Most of the profanity is used in the first 40 minutes of the movie, where the bulk of Gny. Sgt. Hartman's dialogue comes from.

Derogatory terms for African Americans, the Vietnamese, Italians and Jews like n*gga and other disrespectful terms

No drugs or alcohol but there are several scenes with people smoking cigarettes.

The violence is intense and realistic. While there are brief scenes of dark comedy a lot of the film carries a very dark tone.

Rated R for strong brutal war violence, strong language, and sex references.

The first 45 minutes of the film is intense because of boot camp training, however it can be bit fuuny at times due to Gny. Sgt. Hartman's vulgarity.

The dehumanization of soldiers is a key theme throughout the movie, being shown to varying degrees.

This is a very dark and disturbing movie.
