Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

This film has a large number of sexual jokes throughout. In one scene, a centurion is trying to find out which of the "eunichs" is not an eunich. He has a slave girl do a erotic dance in front of each of the men, waiting for one of them to have an erection. In another scene, the King of France, directing a live-action chess game, gives directions that end up in the simulated gang-rape of the woman playing the part of the queen.

Violence & Gore

Most of the violence in the film is comedic.

Profanity

A fair amount. the word "fuck" is used numerous times, as are other profanities. A gag revolves around a man whose entire job at the French Royal Court consists of carrying around a bucket for the male members of the court to relieve themselves in (he is known as the "garcon l'pis," or as the King calls him once, "piss-boy".)

Gregory Hines' character constructs an enormous marijuana joint in one scene in an attempt to get the Romans pursuing him stoned.

None really, though some viewers may be offended by a gag revolving around Jesus.
