There is no sex and no nudity in this film at all. There is sexual tension between a brother and sister. There is a rather intense telling of a gang-rape. That is as far as it goes.

There is a graphic battle at the beginning as well as blood-spurting arena battles. All these sequences include many briefly flashes of gory wounding and killing.
