Stephanie, Ally Sheedy, is seen in the tub. No nudity, but Number 5 comments about her "nice software." Number 5 shoots the belt buckle off of Stephanie's ex-boyfriend and his pants drop exposing his boxers.

There is a number of laser blasts shot from the robots which destroy vehicles. In the opening scene the viewer is lead to believe the robots are destroying vehicles with actual people on them. We soon find out they were only manequins and it was only a demonstration. Stephanies ex-boyfriend throws her to the ground. We also see slapstick hitting from the Three Stoogies on TV. No gore is shown in the movie.

Many H...'s, G.D's, Damn it's, Jesus' name is abused several times. The sh.t word is used by several characters, including the naive number 5. S.o B is also spoken.

We see the robots mixing a gin and tonic in the first few minutes of the movie. After the demonstratin we see drinks being handed out and the robots telling the guests what they are serving, such as long island ice tea. Later in the film, there is a scene in a bar.

Number five is presumably destroyed. May be saddening to younger children, but it does have a happy ending.
