Profanity

Hell is used.

Son-of-a-bitch is used throughout the movie. The word nigger is used. Damn is used regularly in the first half hour. God Damn is used once in the burning barn.

The f-word is used once.

A woman makes a man drink a alcohol like drink.

Governor chews on a cigar.

A number of death threats are made but never carried out, some police brutality, most of it is in a funny way so it isnt too intense.

The KKK rally could be disturbing to some viewers.

Much of the violence, while presented in a comedic fashion, is extremely dark/warped/disturbing.
