Extremely graphic violence.
The film includes several extended sequences of professional football games played to accentuate the violence of the sport. Most of them show serious and bloody injuries. In one such scene, after showing a player's eye-socket, his eyeball complete with optic nerve is shown lying on the turf. Medics then bag up the eye and place it in an icebox, leaving a bloody stain on the field.
One scene shows scenes from Ben Hur including the chariot race in which a man is run over and dragged by a chariot. The chariot race is on a TV in the background.
A wife slaps her husband.
