A woman is bound with only her breast and crotch covered. Not much worse than a woman wearing a bikini.

Near the end of the film there is a door that says "nobody cumz in here" instead of comes in here.

Near the end of the film, a man and a woman begin to kiss. Sex is implied, but the screen goes dark before much of anything is shown.

Ellen Barkin's character wears a few revealing costumes (short skirts, low necklines), but there is no visible sex or nudity in this film.

There's a large final shootout and several aliens are killed.

Buckaroo kicks an alien in the leg and runs from it.

There's a brief fight where several aliens beat up a group of men.

A spaceship blows up in the end, and several aliens inside are killed.

There are numerous gunfights and fatalities, but no blood or gore is shown. One character is briefly (but fatally) choked, and one alien dies after hitting his head on a rock.

Non-pious of "God." Light cursing includes the 's' word, 'h' word, and 'd' word. One character makes an obscene gesture at another. A use of "Godd*mn".

Ellen Barkin's character drinks alcohol and points a gun to her head in the nightclub scene. One alien smokes a pipe. There are no references to drug use.

The character of Lord John Whorfin/Emilio Lizardo might be frightening to some children, given that he's a violent and cold-blooded alien possessing a mad scientist's body. His unkempt hair, demonic eyes and prominent teeth give off a Mr Hyde vibe.

A hysterical woman attempts to commit suicide while getting drunk. She points a handgun to her head and nearly succeeds until a waiter knocks her arm out of the way by accident, causing her to shoot the ceiling instead.

Buckaroo Banzai is tortured by means of electric shocks, but he escapes unscathed. Ellen Barkin's character is also bound and tortured.
