  • A man tells another man a product he sells is "great for the ol' pecker!"
  • In the first 5 minutes of the film a man walks in on a woman who is in a state of undress.
  • A man engages in a conversation with a woman, as he is trying to make a pass at her. She starts telling him "are you hot?" She puts on her sexy face. It doesn't go any further.
  • A woman asks a man if he's written any books
  • A man puts his hand in a woman's blouse, at the top, and they are kissing. Then she starts kissing his chest, down to his waist, like it's leading to sex. She gets interrupted. No nudity is shown.
  • A man ends up attempting to squeeze a cow's nipples for milk.
  • There are cardboard stands that feature women in bikinis on the train and they appear throughout the movie.
  • No Nudity. No Sex. However, there's two passionate kissing between a man and a woman on a train.

Violence & Gore

  • As mentioned in the Sex & Nudity category, a man sees a dead body on the window. The man has been shot in the head and falls off the train quickly. We see some blood.
  • A very strong man attacks a weaker man and throws him off the train.
  • A man is shot multiple times in the dark. The light is turned on, and we see the man with blood on his face and chest. He dies shortly, but off screen. This is perhaps the film's bloodiest moment.
  • An unarmed man ends up battling against a man with a gun. The unarmed man picks up a spear gun and spears the man, he then falls to his death.
  • On a more humorous note, a sheriff pulls out his gun, but the person in question takes the gun away and aims it at him. The person later threatens the deputy and steals his car, also on a humorous note.
  • A man uses a police car against two other police cars like it was a demolition derby.
