Sex & Nudity

  • Nancy takes off all of her clothes and underwear, but we see nothing due to a chair blocking the way. She covers herself with a long sheet and then, posing in front of several male students, drops it. Again, there is no nudity shown, but we see her bare back and her legs.
  • A woman wrapped in a towel is about to enter her room when another woman approaches and pulls off her towel, leaving her naked. She runs into her room in the nude and we see a brief flash of her butt. This is the only instance of visible nudity.

Violence & Gore

  • A man repeatedly slaps Nancy and pulls her hair.
  • Fed up with a drunken man, a model slaps him.
  • A man slaps a model repeatedly after she threatens him with a knife. We later see the bruised model at the police station.
  • A man gets into a shootout with two policemen. He fires several shots, but none of them connect. After he runs out of ammo, the policemen shoot and kill him (no blood).

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Nancy's roommate Easy smokes several times. Nancy herself is briefly seen smoking.
  • We see men at a party drink, and we see several men and models who are intoxicated.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some may find the club owner, who slaps and berates the models, frightening.
  • The scene where a photographer tries to forcefully kiss Nancy could be seen as frightening.
  • The police chase and subsequent shootout may be seen as intense.
  • Overall, the low-budget sets, lame musical score, and mediocre acting render the film fairly tame.
