Sex & Nudity
-
- A man and a woman passionately make out before the camera cuts away. Sex is implied.
- Many female night club dancers are seen topless briefly
Violence & Gore
-
- Some soldiers burst into a room and open fire on another group of men. A man is killed. When a torch is passed over his body, one of his eyeballs can be seen hanging out of its socket where he was shot.
- A pandemic causes billions to die from a flu virus which was originally designed to be a military bioweapon. Corpses can be seen littering the streets and buildings.
- A few fistfights here and there.
- The aftermath of a gunfight can be seen. The bodies are full of bloodied bullet holes.
- The virus also kills animals. The corpses of sheep, birds and other animals can been seen. A character remarks how even elephants are being wiped out by the virus.
Profanity
-
- Some minor curse words like 'damn' and 'hell'.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some scenes feature smoking and drinking.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The film has a grim tone throughout, especially since it deals with a dangerous bioweapon that acts like a flu virus. As scientists race to find a cure, billions die, cities are deserted and an impending nuclear disaster complicates things further.
- There are two endings to the film depending on which version is watched. The abridged US version's ending is downright depressing, while the original uncut version is far more optimistic.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- It's suggested that the eight surviving women of the Antarctic Council must allow themselves to sleep with all 800+ male survivors (via 'appointments') to prevent sexual assault. They reluctantly agree to it.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- While contacting the Japanese station team through his father's radio, an orphaned little boy loses all hope and commits suicide offscreen with a gun. Very upsetting.
- A Soviet nuclear submarine requests medical aid from the scientists at Antarctica. Their request is denied because they've been infected by the virus. A British submarine is forced to destroy them with a torpedo. Only the explosion is seen.
- A man times an explosive device and begins backing away from it. However, debris from a cave-in blocks off his escape route and he is caught in the explosion. He's crushed beneath more debris and impaled by pipes. His body is covered in blood and he yells in pain. Quite disturbing.
- A Japanese woman and child attempt to escape the local epidemic, using a speedboat headed for the ocean. They commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills along the way.
