The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.

Sex & Nudity

There is implied intercourse between the characters of Richard and Anne.

Violence & Gore

Clarence is drowned in a barrel of wine.

Hastings is beheaded (only the aftermath of the execution is seen, with blood on the block).

Edward and York are smothered with a pillow while they sleep.

During the final battle, several men are shown being killed, two horses are killed, and Richard is mutilated by the enemy army, then thrown across the back of a horse.

Profanity

The two young princes are refered to as "bastards" by Richard.

The word "damn" is uttered repeatedly, but not in the context of being a curse.

The main characters repeatedly drink wine and other alcoholic beverages, bereft of side-effects.

When young York taunts Richard about his hunched back, Richard whirls on the child, and gives him a look of supreme dislike. This may frighten some children.
