Parent Guide

A naked man runs around for a while during a party; we see several shots of his bare buttocks, back and chest (but no genitalia are visible).

A woman is having a shower. We see her silhouette behind the door.

Throughout the movie, the cartoon character Monkeybone is supposed to represent one's libido.

A few instances of mild and passionate kissing. We see brief clips of animals having sex on TV, including one slightly longer scene of a monkey having sex with another from behind.

A man and woman grind into each other sexually; she opens the robe she's wearing and wraps it around him as they kiss and then recline on a bed.

A man dances erotically for a woman and strips down to his underwear.

A man falls off the canopy of a bed and onto a woman; he then passes out with his head between her legs.

A man crawls between a woman's legs and looks up her skirt.

An obviously naked but sheet-covered man in a bed lifts up the sheets and looks down at his genitals.

A clothed woman is in bed with a man wearing only a poncho and shoes.

A monkey jumps into a woman's dress and tells her he stole her panties; also, a monkey pulls off a man's pants and we see the man in his boxers.

A puppet dances sexually and dons fake breasts.

We see naked cartoon characters (the genitals aren't defined).

We see several women in bikinis running in slow motion with a man chasing after them.

A woman wears a shirt that has a hole in the middle, so we can see the inner parts of her bare breasts.

A woman pulls keys out of her cleavage.

Several shots of cleavage and scantily clad women.

In an animated Monkeybone cartoon, a boy protagonist informs us (via voice over narration) that the flapping folds of skin hanging from his old school teacher's arms caused him to feel "oddly aroused." He then looks down to his clothed crotch and quickly puts books there to cover his apparent erection. We then briefly see what looks like an erection in his pants (and the teacher asks what's in his lap and he says that covering the growth in his pants was like putting a cap on the Washington Monument), but it turns out to be Monkeybone who pops out of his pants, blasting the books into the air.

A man is hit by a bus.

In several scenes played for laughs, a corpse that comes back to life has a bruised, dark neck and his stomach is all cut up; in one scene we see the pancreas being pulled out of his body.

The same man dangles above the ground from a balloon and an internal organ pops out and lands on a grill; eventually he starts losing several internal organs through the open cavity on his chest and navel. (a boy catches one and thinks it's a football)

We see blood on a man's bandaged head (he's also put in a neck brace).

We see a man hooked up to life-support systems in the hospital.

The same man is in a coma for several months, during which he has many strange dreams: trips to heaven, hell, the death world, the dream world, etc.

During his psychological trips to such places, the man encounters several strange looking beasts and spooky, evil-looking characters.

A man's life support is cut off and he deflates.

A person receives shock therapy.

We see a corpse with a purple tongue and dark bruised eyes.

A dog attacks a man.

A cartoon monkey has a gun in its mouth (suicide implication).

A man trapped in the ground (all but his head) is hit in the head with a golf club and receives a bloody nose.

We see a woman choking.

We see a man on a torturous stretching machine.

A woman kicks a man in the behind.

A woman's head explodes in a puff of smoke (it was apparently screwed on).

A monkey hits a man over the head with a monkey wrench.

Several times a toy monkey has his thumb in his anus and then removes it to let out a cloud of gas (and a flatulent sound comes out as well).

A man kills a dog with the chemical spray coming out of the toy monkey's behind.

A woman hits a man in the gut with a baseball bat.

A man is sucked into the hands of death.

A man is intentionally given an overdose of a drug.

We see sketches of a man either in a bed or on an operating table, with coils and other strange branchy things coming out of his body.

Stu's car goes out of control in reverse when an inflatable toy jams him and Julie up against the windshield. During, this, one of the toy's large inflatable arms hits Herb, the car smashes through a security gate and then eventually crashes (the final impact isn't seen) and Stu is knocked into a coma.

Let's talk about movies!
