A man confronts two men who attempted to rape a young girl and threatens one continously; he holds a knife to his head, and then pulls out two guns and taunts him. He then asks the man which "nut" he wants to keep, and holds both guns to his crotch as the man wimpers continiously. The man then hits the man in the crotch with the pistols, and he screams in agony. A man is beaten and dragged into a bathtub (He bleeds profusely), and has a shotgun put to his head. His attackers prepare to kill him, but then later make the decision not to.

211 uses of "fuck", as well as many uses of the racial slur, "nigger." (Its mostly used casually, however). Many offensive terms are used, such as "dyke" (When describing a woman who might be a lesbian), "dick", and "bitch."

One character forces another to smoke marijuana (We later find out that its PCP, AKA: "Angel Dust"). After this scene, the character appears to be high for multiple scenes, seeing blurred images and not being able to think or react clearly. Many characters in the film steal, deal or use narcotics; many drug references (The main character of the film is a narcotics officer) to cocaine, marijuana, PCP etc. Characters smoke in multiple scenes of the film (Including the somewhat disturbing, forced inhaling of marijuana, mentioned above); characters drink and offer one another liquor and beer.

Many of the sequences in the film are extremely tense and violent; one example is a scene where a trio of gang members threaten and then beat a central character brutally, before throwing him into a bathtub and threatening to shoot him in the face with a shotgun. Many scenes feature violence or the threat of violence, and is a theme intregal to the film. Extremely intense and realistic in many respects.
