Sex & Nudity

  • Brief scene in a gentleman's club with a very scantily clad woman dancing in the background of a few shots.
  • Some mild sexual references.

Violence & Gore

  • Some mild violence. Including one memorable one:
  • Johnny 5 is violently smashed and he leaks. His leaks looks exactly like blood. When he is smashed, his "blood" splatters on the attackers' clothes - one of the attackers is clearly disturbed by this and stalls, but is ordered to continue. Younger viewers particularly small children will find the attack of Johnny 5 upsetting and rather distressing.

Profanity

  • During a moment in the film, the word "crap-head" is used as if were a term of endearment. Some TV viewings have replaced this word with the milder "sap-head."
  • Several Instances of the "s-word", "a-word"... Two instances of "balls."
  • There is one F-word in the film. One other use by a character with a strong accent just sounds like that word but is actually "backing" (turning on the subtitles confirmed this).
  • The phrase "backing up" is used but it sounds like something else.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • One robber on screen is seen smoking a cigarette.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There is a scene where the main character of the film Johnny 5 (robot) is violently attacked with a crowbar and axe. Johnny 5 expresses pain and pleads for its life. The robot spurts and leaks a blood like substance throughout the remainder of the film. The robot does eventually bleed to death during the final scene, but is rescued by its creator Ben Jaharvi (Fisher Stevens).
  • Younger viewers particually small children will find the attack on Johnny 5 and the aftermath upsetting and rather distressing.
