Sex & Nudity
-
- In the opening dream scene, a woman undresses and there is full rear nudity. In the original US version, she turns around and there is full frontal. However it's not seen on the 2009 DVD release since Shout Factory!, the distributor of the DVD, explained that the best master they could acquire was a European edited release print of the film.
- In the "carnival" scene, a woman is seen wearing nothing but small pieces of fabric to cover her private parts. Her pubic hair is slightly visible.
- In another dream scene, a prostitute is knitting naked. Her breasts are visible. She also describes how, during the San Fransisco earthquake of 1906, she had to escape from a building and run down the streets completely naked. Nothing Graphic.

- Some war violence.
Profanity
-
- Very mild.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Although not very graphic, the film is very bleak in tone and deals heavily in the casualties of war.
- The whole entire movie is extremely depressing and very sad, as it deals pretty heavily in graphic detail into the true horrors of war, all via the form of the story of a limbless, faceless soldier who got critically wounded after an artillery shell blast. The film's message is profoundly haunting and emotionally harrowing, and it might be too much for some to handle. Making it even more poignant is that the film, like the novel itself, is inspired by a real-life story that actually happened.
- A few intense scenes where Joe cries "my arms! I have no arms! Oh no not my legs, etc.". Some scenes are hard to watch
