Sex
Fleeting glimpses of sex often blend into simultaneously playing montages juxtaposed onscreen, making the scenes and images likely to be overlooked. Scenes on their own are not explicit, not in close-up, and without lingering detail.
Offensive language
There is casual use of offensive language. It is used once to wish ill of the band: “I wish you f**kers bomb”.
Nudity
There is an image of buttock nudity in black and white that is not sexual in tone and more like something one might find in a photograph. Glimpses of nudity also blend into images and video simultaneously juxtaposed onscreen.
